Three commercials. Two shoot days. Ten-day production design lead time
Precision filming on motion control meant meticulous planning of the production design from the start. To ensure the sets were centimetre-perfect, we built detailed 3D models of all three environments before working with the incredible MoCo team at G6 MoCo to recreate the camera moves exactly.
Technical challenges included underwater camera work, custom prop builds and some very fast reactions to last-minute brief changes. My team were absolute stars.
Huge thanks to the brilliant crews at The Gate Films and G6 — and to director Dominic O’Riordan and DOP Joe Douglas

What an incredible day partying with half a million people in central London. Filled me with a sense of genuine hope I didnt realise I was missing so badly.
When production really look after you. Just pulled up at my hotel in the heart of #Blackpool #pleasurebeach ⛱️ @boulevardhotelblackpool #setlife #artdepartment

I've never been good at mornings. But my new year's resolution to prioritise sleep has been transformative. My new #morningroutine means I am already ahead of my list by the time I hit my desk and have more energy to create well into the evening. Win win. I thought #circadianrhythms was some kind of bulls**t woo. But turns out it is actually a thing. That's a lie by the way. I'm not in the 5am club. 6.15am though. That will do me for now.
When #Springcleaning goes to another level...
End of an era. Another one. Moving on from my studio in Manor House after 10 years of making some insane props from exploding #miniature #sets to #model #rockets and #puppets - we've covered a lot of ground.
It's not over. In fact it's just the beginning - but as a wise friend pointed out I've "outgrown it".
I've had a few spaces over the years and I'm excited for the next one. I've kept the Strumpets sign from London Fashion Week 2001 to remind me that closing doors on a dusty space, lets in a lot of fresh air. Watch. This. Space.

Proud and honoured to create a backdrop worthy of Hollywood's favourite florist, Jeff Leatham. This was a production designers dream brief. We made a box steel glass cube and filled it with flowers. But can you tell which are real and which are LEGO?
Even better I got to do all of this with with long term friends and work mates Director @mjfdirector , DOP @ajlittle . Thank you to producer Natasha Moses for trusting us with it. This is what #artdepartment was made for.

Proud and honoured to work alongside Hollywood's favourite florist, Jeff Leatham. This was a production designers dream brief: flower arranging, playing with scale and ...LEGO. Even better I got to do all of this with with long term friends and work mates Director @mjfdirector and DOP @ajlittle . Thank you to producer Natasha Moses for trusting us with it. This is what #artdepartment was made for.
