A whole new life.
When people have to leave their home - because home is no longer safe - it’s amazing what a positive impact they can have in the country that welcomes them.
This is a film I made for the Resetting Communities team at South Gloucestershire Council. I loved meeting this particular family who represent many others who’ve had to flee Hong Kong in recent years.
Happy Lunar New Year!
Today I was filming an event and this amazing group from @universityofbristol turned up.
I misheard and thought it would be line dancing - actually it was Lion Dancing 😄
Come on, be honest, you can’t resist a list! And the backing track on this reel is awesome 😎
So, here’s 4 ways I approach video projects at the moment. They’re not exactly rocket science but, as I’m not a rocket scientist, that makes sense, right? Keep it simple, keep it moving and keep it fun are also pretty good things to remember when juggling complicated kit and multiple moving parts!
If it’s all too much, then I’m here to help - contact in profile 😊🚀👨🏻🔬
Bristol and the Africa Charter
Having filmed the launch of the Africa Charter in Namibia, it was great to document this event in Bristol recently. What’s it all about? Well, basically, creating a level playing field for academics and researchers from the global South and global North.

What’s not to like?
This was an amazing event to be filming and such lovely people all trying something different and meeting new friends. Anyone would think it’s good for your health!
People want to work, businesses need workers...
What’s not to like?
This is one of 2 explainer videos made this last week, condensing a great idea (plus the hard work of a great team) into a short and clear piece of communication.
Sometimes the people on the ‘coal face’ so to speak can’t always see how good their product or project is. Often, our job is to get to the heart of it. That helps both the team and their customers or clients understands how good their work is and to engage fully with it.

Added this to my collection this morning after seeing it from the bus last week.
Been capturing some footage from around Bristol while the sun has been shining. It’s for a specific project that’s coming up but also filling my archives, getting a bit of fresh air and having some fun too.

The difference is Telling Video
Our showreel looking at some great recent projects. Can you tell what's our website address? 😀
A recent visit to Robot central, Bristol - they also have some very nice people.
Just looking at some test footage from a recent shoot at Aerospace Bristol - so far so good. Really enjoyed the visit and thank you to staff and management for being so helpful 😊🙏🏼
Here’s another Instagram promo I recently produced for @ggcc_bristol as they begin singing again after months of on line rehearsals. The choir needed to communicate how it feels to be part of the gang. They wanted to encourage members who had lost the habit of regular singing, due to the pandemic, as well as promote the benefits of belonging to new people.
I’ve filmed quite a lot of the choir over the years - my wife @em_for_music is actually the director - so was able to put together something that was heartfelt and full of energy 😊🎶

Bristol's Hanging Gardens of Babylon
Something amazing is happening in Knowle. A community that can sometimes feel overlooked and neglected is being freshened up with flowers!
After a family tragedy, Don Jones decided he could either sink or... dig. He decided to single-handedly begin planting flowers and bringing some beauty and encouragement back to this community.
Not just flowers, mind! Plenty of fruit and veg too!
If you want to pop by and have a little dig (or chin-wag) - you'd be very welcome!
Capturing energy and passion! That’s what our videos do and that’s what oozed from this recoding day with all 6 gospel choirs squeezed into one album👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Taming the Dogs of War
When the seeds of conflict remain, even after the violence stops, it takes tough minded people to build lasting peace. We filmed people like that at this international conference on behalf of Resilient Peace at University of Bristol.
People from different backgrounds have been working to build sustainable peace in West Africa. We’ve been filming some of the amazing people involved.

Inspiring local people to become active citizens, the amazing ‘Up Our Street’, has a massive impact on communities in East Bristol. They help ordinary people do extraordinary things!
Despite being a person down, the crew did an amazing job filming this - well done! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
