So good they played it twice. Thousands of people in the Royal Albert Hall, clapping and singing along to a sea shanty we produced for @redbullgaming Wololo. By popular demand, they played it twice during the show and broadcast. Genuinely one of the proudest moments we’ve had making things. Still pinching ourselves. 🎶 (Full credits in our previous post)

YO HO WOLOLO! Last night, we opened Red Bull’s Wololo Age of Empires tournament at the @royalalberthall - kicking things off, with a Sea Shanty film. Yes, really. We filmed on The Golden Hinde in Southwark, brought in the London Welsh Male Voice Choir, and had one of the best days on set we can remember. Singing, merriment, a replica 16th century galleon - the works. It was the Royal Albert Hall’s first ever esports event. In our home city. We’re still buzzing. Jobs like this don’t come around often. We’ll be singing about this one for a while. 🏴‍☠️ Client: @redbullgaming Production Company: @chewproductions Director: @tompnewman Exec Producer: @bockywills Senior Producer: @mattpblake Producer: @angelicaarroyo_ Development: @shawstuff DOP: @Jake.j.gerrard Second Camera: @phineassajous 1AC: @mitigation.lebrere 2AC: @timpakyar Gaffer: @Nunosaurus Sparks: @camilla.goes.around @kirklejuice Sound Recordist: @magicmics.tv HMU: @luciepemberton Art Direction: @tamaradsilvadesign Assistant Stylist: Katie Lenton DIT: @goodbuddyjoe Production Assistant: @cal.freeman Camera Equipment: @junction.rentals Lighting Equipment: @artefactfilms Location: @goldenhinde_ Music & arrangement: @breenbeen @roryruari @phase.work Choir: @lwmvc Sound Design: @rumble.post Bodhrán: @bodhraness Accordion: @joshmiddletonmusic Recording studio: @ten87studios Engineer: @dheermodi5 Edit: @nickmitchmoreedits VFX: @runharry Cast: Riley.knight @therealjoedickens @billycashin03 @francis.tc @berrar_darker @lucielaw1 @martinbrooks1968

AI Is Ruining Esports - The Dispatch - S2: EP1 "It’s a new year at the DHL Esports Logistics Division, and Innovations Manager Alex decides to shake things up by unleashing a next-generation logistics and efficiency AI robot. It was designed to optimize, but instead the machine declared war. Now, with operations collapsing, the gang must fight to defeat their own creation and reclaim the system before esports logistics is lost forever." Link to full episode in bio.

Last week we wrapped production on Season 2 of our show The Dispatch. We really went above and beyond on the scripts this year so huge props to the incredible cast and crew for stepping up to the challenge. Working with the incredible team at @eslcs , we @chewproductions , pitched this concept to @dhl_global a little over a year ago and it makes me immensely proud to see it grow into its own identity over the course of 2 seasons. The first episode goes live in early 2026. For catch-up on season 1, head on over to esl.gg/dispatch Photography by @goodbuddyjoe

Hall of Legends - Uzi Haven't had a chance to shout about my latest feature doc that went live last month for @riotgames . First time working on a Riot title and it was a pleasure to see how dedicated they are to storytelling within their ecosystems and I'm super happy with how it turned out. Principle had us out in Shanghai & Seoul, with units covering LA, Berlin and Stockholm. A real global effort and tremendous work by @goodboy.creative in running the show. Special thanks to our producer @extemp (who practically ended up living in China for a bit), @borderlessfilm (KR) and @blondechinese (CN) for their flawless service. Big up @jakegerrard (DP), @imayellowfellow (Editor) and the rest of the super talented crew. (Will edit with full creds at some point!) And of course, the big man himself, thank you to Uzi, for letting us tell your story. You can can catch the full film on @riotgames YouTube or check the link in my bio.
