“VC London” – The all female custom motorbike co-operative for INFLUX
Back in December last year I was lucky enough to visit “VC Motorcycle Club” (The VC stands for Vicious C*&ts apparently:) at their workshop in East London for INFLUX to interview Gemma and Namin for the short film above. It’s finally up on the INFLUX site so I can share it here.
Head over to INFLUX to read the full article.
Adrian “Uchujin” Storey – Collusion Maker Takeover – Presentation
Last week I was honored to be invited by Lee Mason to give a presentation about my work at the Collusion Maker Takeover event taking place at iMet in Huntingdon.
I talked about myself (oh the vanity:), “Boys For Sale“, “Traces Of The Soul” and the showed the Handbook “New Day” video I made recently.
You can watch my talk (shot from a terrible angle on a Galaxy S8) above.
It was a really interesting day with lots of inspiring projects being shown and talked about and I’m very grateful to Lee and Collusion for inviting me and all the great work they are doing in the local area.
Handbook “New Day” – Official Music Video – Cascade Records
My first official music video in a while, “New Day”, taken from the new Handbook E.P. “Reminiscence“, out now on Cascade records.
I’ve made two music videos for Cascade previously, Repeat Pattern “Fuck But Beautiful” and Fitz Ambro$e “FAIFF”, so I reached out to Handbook after seeing a tweet from Cascade records promoting the EP and he chose “New Day” as the track he wanted a video for with the brief “I love rivers, countryside and birds/insects so that would be a great focus. Probably difficult, but something ant based would be dope.”

“Tuning into Radio Muju” – A Documentary
I’ve known Mr Muju for almost 20 years and Miss Muju for maybe 1/2 that. They are and continue to be not only some of my best friends but a constant source of inspiration.
Mr Muju, one of the most talented artists I know, is responsible for me first seriously picking up a camera and must be credited with introducing me to Buddhism long before he was the catalyst that made me go to India thereby changing the course of my life forever.
I feel genuinely lucky to be his friend.

A couple of weeks ago I was very lucky to get to work with legendary DP Rodney Charters, Kaiman Wong, Dan Chung, Daniel Peters, Mickey Westcott and Maria Sergejeva on a video for Atomos about their new Sumo 19″ monitor/recorder.
It was a really fun 2 days and great to work with such talented lovely people.
1984 Symposium 10th Anniversary – George Orwell’s Birthday 25th June 2017
On the Sunday 25th June 2017 I found myself in the graveyard of All Saints Church, Sutton Courtney, Oxfordshire to celebrate 2 things:-
Documentally vs Water Balloons – 200fps Sony FS5 (Raw upgrade) / Atomos Shogun Inferno
Shooting some 200fps slow motion with the Sony PXW-FS5 (raw upgrade) and Atomos Shogun Inferno
I’m reviewing for hireacamera.com
What better way to test it out than to throw water balloons at Christian “@Documentally” Payne in the sunshine?
Uchujin with Newsshooter at BVE 2017 in London
The BVE 2017 show was held at the Excel center in London’s Victoria dock area from 28th Feburary to 2nd March and I was there with Dan Chung from Newsshooter.com.
Here are the videos I shot and edited for Newsshooter.com at the show.
Documentally.com Ident – The Making of – Fun with After Effects and Mocha
After seeing my short “Not with a bang” when he was the judge at St Neots Film Festival, Christian “Documentally” Payne hinted that he’d quite like an ident for his videos in a similar style, so seeing as it was his birthday and I hadn’t got him a card…….
Video Production Services – Christian “Documentally” Payne and Adrian “Uchujin” Storey

Uchujin On Tour – Mujuworld in Cornwall Edition
Last week we finally managed to make it down to Cornwall to see my dear old friend and amazing artist Mr Muju and his equally awesome partner Miss Muju in their beautiful little country cottage.
A blissful week of epic Cornish scenery, lovely veggie food, reggae tunes, travelling in style in Miss Muju’s VW camper van and even a day of body boarding!
I couldn’t just have a holiday though, where would the fun be in that?
So with my new CAME TV Optimus gimbal (a great excuse to put it through it’s paces) and trusty Sony A7SII I filmed loads of stuff for my documentary in progress on Team Muju and put together this little film of our week.
“The Bowler Supremacy” Deep Sand Diesel For INFLUX
This months piece I DP’d, shot and edited in Belper, Derbyshire for my good friends Postfuel is now up on the Influx site.
This time it’s about Bowler Motorsport, a company that builds custom rally cars based on Land Rover Defenders.
Another fun and interesting job contributing to my slow and steady slide towards becoming a car nut.
Uchujin on tour – Newsshooter.com at Photokina in Cologne and more
The past few weeks has been a blur of (good) busyness what with a trip to IBC in Amsterdam at a days notice with the newsshooter.com team, a D.P. and editing job for my mates Postfuel on drift car nutter Buttsy Butler, a motion graphics job and then this past week to Photokina in Cologne again with Dan and the newsshooter.com team.
“Catching His Drift” Buttsy Butler on going sideways for INFLUX
The piece I DP’d and edited on drift car nutcase Buttsy Butler for my good friends Postfuel is now up on the influx site.
Great to be working with Postfuel again and a lot of fun meeting Buttsy.
Only downside is I’m starting to get quite into cars :)
“Not With A Bang” An Uchujin Films Short
I am proud to present my latest short film “Not With A Bang” (Title stolen from T.S.Elliot because I have delusions of grandeur) the result of months of work and what amounts to a final parting shot to Japan.
I advise watching it full screen on a reasonable sized monitor or it won’t make a lot of sense and you’ll miss most of it.

Sony A7SII – Slow motion test – Setagaya Park, Tokyo December 2015
On a windy day last week I went to my local park to do some test shooting with my new A7SII in 120fps slow motion mode.
I shot handheld with Picture Profile off and the Neutral setting with auto white balance. I used a Pentax 35-70mm K-mount lens on a Fotoga adapter.
The footage was conformed to 24p in Premiere, black and white levels adjusted, some saturation and a touch of sharpening added.
