Playing catch up as usual - The Tango Warden ad which I cut for Ben Tonge aka @netnmvaster , @wearegirlandbear & @vccp__ last year has been shortlisted for Best Ad up to 30 seconds at the 2025 British Arrows. Pretty chuffed about that!

This was a few months ago, but probably my favourite project this year was for Adam Smith @flatnosegeorge , putting together new concert visuals with @ldelvesart and @jonnytv for @auroramusic Travel meant I missed actually seeing the live show (by a day in two different countries), but I’ll make it happen one day!

I didn’t work directly on the installation (aside from this trailer), but you’ll potentially recognise various bits and pieces that I’ve cut for live shows re-interpreted into this amazing 360 degree audiovisual piece called Music:Response, an installation combining the music and creative universe of @thechemicalbrothers and @smithandlyall . It’s now at THE CUBE, located in the basement of Gaudí’s iconic building in Barcelona @casabatllo as part of @sonarfestival If you find yourself in Barcelona over the summer DEFINITELY go and check it out!

Playing catch up as usual; over the summer I cut a series of commercials for the @marksandspencerfood 'It's Never Just Food' campaign with @cheftomkerridge - directed by @natecamponi and produced by @tess_hamilton82 at @wearechief The films were shot by @simonhawken and @jameswatsondop @jamesbamford_colour @rascal.post did the colour across all of the films A really nice series of ads, which I’m very proud of. I also now only like to buy single apiary honey.

Quite a few weeks behind here, but twas a pleasure to cut this Tango ad for Ben Tonge aka @netnmvaster with @georgewait @maxine_dents @vccp__ @jameswatsondop @stef_colour A triumph!

This @thechemicalbrothers No Reason poster has just gone, but it was opposite the gate to my studio, meaning it was about 30 metres from where we cut that @smithandlyall video. FUN! I have been incredibly slack on posting anything, even for me, so catching up a bit.

Playing catch up a bit here, but I cut two music videos in October; one for Dylan directed by @thejordanrossi100 and one for the Joel Corry remix of Elton John & Britney directed by @rebekahbcreative , and they both made Videos Of The Month on @promonews.tv Full credit lists are on the promonews page

First time I’ve been able to see the @thechemicalbrothers show after finishing all my editing on it for @smithandlyall I decided to stay quite far back at Field Day to get the full view, which made for good times, but not the best photos. 🙃 Was very proud seeing the whole thing come together!

There’s a very nice article in @lwlies about the @thechemicalbrothers Don’t Think, and how the editing by myself and @papanoir ‘sets the bar’ for concert films. ✂️✂️

Still from an excellent short film called Mindblown, which I cut for @natecamponi a few years back. DOP @simonhawken & grade by @jamesbamford_colour
