Coalescent Films

Produced one shot of visual effects for the lovely team over at Coalescent Films.

Always a pleasure to work on small independently made productions and a nice switch from the work I've been doing over at Framestore...

Our Kind of Traitor: Shot Visualisation

Another little insight into my workflow and how I approached the vfx for 'Our Kind of Traitor' - Working directly with the directors and supervisor is always the most rewarding aspect. The brief was to create a beautiful yet haunting moment in the films climax...

Barbican - Consciousness

An old project, the first non-film endeavour since I started work in VFX. I worked on a CG version of 'Marcus Du Sautoy' talking for a section on his live visual performance of how the human brain works...

Behind the scenes are always interesting and I've made a short video showing the workflow I went through when animation those bees for Jupiter Ascending a few years back, fun to make and hopefully will be of interest...

Our Kind of Traitor: Screening

Finally, after work I grabbed a seat at a late screening of 'Our Kind of Traitor' - A very true adaptation of the source novel, beautifully shot and a thoroughly enjoyable picture.

Money Into Light

Often when reading about something you are often gifted information on another thing entirely. From reading this,

To this, bought for a penny, the book 'Money Into Light The Emerald Forest: A Diary' - by John Boorman.

Full of insight and the idiosyncrasies of a great director in full film making stride...

"Fiction is, after all, merely the truth liberated from facts."

Painterly Visuals

Akira Kurosawa's delicious framing style, all based from his own paintings...

Another little looksie at a show I worked on last year...

Magpie

It's awards season and I'm currently working my way through the nominees that are available to watch with on demand streaming websites. The survivalist which was nominated for 'Outstanding Debut' at BAFTA is a film about living after theoretical collapse of civilisation.

After the standard post film trivia digging I came across the directors vimeo page in which there is a short film that is essentially a prequel to the feature called 'Magpie'
