New Showreel!

So, I finally got around to making a new showreel!
Yes, I know it’s longer than it should be for a showreel, but I figure if you haven’t got 4 minutes to find out if you like my work then it’s unlikely you are going to hire me anyway.
(Additional note – Please hire me:)

Women at Cambridge: Planting women’s roots in Cambridge

The fourth and final of four films from the Women at Cambridge series I had the pleasure of shooting for Duckrabbit and The University Of Cambridge -“Planting women’s roots in Cambridge”

Part of the #RisingTide and #WomenAtCambridge exhibition at The University of Cambridge Library.

In this final film, Jo Cobb, Head Gardener of Murray Edwards College, joins co-curator of The Rising Tide: Women at Cambridge exhibition, Dr Lucy Delap, in Eliza Baker Court at Girton College. Here, they discuss the influence of former Head Gardener, Chrystabel Procter on the college and on future female gardeners across the University.

I really enjoyed hanging out with Dr Lucy Delap and meeting Jo Cobb during the making of this.
Was very nice to spend time in the Eliza Baker Court at Girton College too.
It was also a real pleasure & honor (as it always is) working with Ben from Duckrabbit, who never ceases to amaze with his kind-hearted, open professionalism.

Shot on multiple Sony A7III’s and a Sony FS5 with Tamron 28-75, Sony 16-35 and another lens that I’ve forgotten should you care about that kind of thing :)

Women at Cambridge: The ladder of academic success

The third of four films from the Women at Cambridge series I had the pleasure of shooting for Duckrabbit and The University Of Cambridge -“The ladder of academic success”

Part of the #RisingTide and #WomenAtCambridge exhibition at The University of Cambridge Library.

From the Youtube description:-
The impact of women at Cambridge is incalculable. In 1869, Girton College became the first women’s college at Cambridge, and the first in Britain, to offer residential higher education for women. But Cambridge University did not grant degrees to women until the late 1940s, the last British University to do so.
In this third of four films, co-curator of Cambridge University Library’s The Rising Tide: Women at Cambridge exhibition, Dr Ben Griffin, is joined by Girton Fellow Dr Dorothy Thompson, to discuss the impact of Muriel Clara Bradbrook, former mistress of Girton College and the first women to become a professor in the Faculty of English. Here, they look at a board game, created by Bradbrook, following the life of a female academic at Cambridge.

In this second of four films, Dr Lucy Delap, co-curator of Cambridge University Library’s The Rising Tide: Women at Cambridge exhibition, is joined by Gemma-Claire Ali of Newnham Boat Club and Siobhan Cassidy, Chair of Cambridge University Women’s Boat Club, to reflect on the history of women’s rowing in Cambridge. In 2013, Cambridge University Women’s Boat Club moved into a boathouse on the River Cam, 70 years after being founded, and are still fighting for equality in women’s rowing.

I really enjoyed hanging out with Lucy Delap , Siobhan Cassidy & Gemma-Claire Ali at the Newnham College boat club during the making of this.

World Jewish Relief – Annual Dinner Film 2020- With Duckrabbit in Lviv, Ukraine

In September 2019 I traveled to Lviv in Ukraine with Ben from Duckrabbit to make a fundraising film for World Jewish Relief to be shown at their annual dinner.
The result of that trip is the film above.
I haven’t been able to publicly talk about the film, my time in Lviv or post any pictures until the film was finally released to the public on 4th February 2020.

Lviv is a beautiful city with a brutal history – some great architecture, cobbled streets, trams, Om Nom Nom – one of the best vegan restaurants I’ve ever eaten in, cheap beer and was the site of the Janowska concentration camp .

The fantastic crew for our 7 days in Lviv consisted of Ben duckrabbit (Director), Dan (onscreen), Natalia (who we immediately nicknamed ‘Nutella’, translator), Tanya from World Jewish Relief and myself (camera).
We would be interviewing Jewish survivors Semyon, Rosa and Clara.
Their stories would bring me to tears more than once.

Listening to the stories of what Semyon, Rosa and Clara went through was a deeply moving and unsettling experience.
It’s one thing to read or watch films about what happened to the Jewish people in World War II, to hear about the seige of Leningrad or the violent persecution suffered, but quite another to sit in a small room with someone who lived through those things tell you what it was like, to look in their eyes as they tell you their story.
It took me weeks to get over and is not something I’ll ever forget.

I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating, that Ben from duckrabbit is an amazing director to work with and it was his generosity of spirit, compassion and professionalism that got me through the somewhat harrowing process of making the film. Thank you Ben.

I would of course also like to thank Tanya and Dan for their amazing work and insights during production.
(Big man hugs to Dan for the lift home from the airport on our arrival back in the UK, Cheers bruv:)

Natalia, the translator deserves special mention, not just for her incredible on the spot translations and infectious sense of humor but also for her warm hearted kindness to the interviewees and us the crew throughout. Nutella, we love you!!!

World Jewish Relief as an organization deserves and has, my deep thanks for all the incredible work they do helping survivors across the world.
I’m deeply grateful that through them I had the opportunity to travel to Ukraine.

The final and deepest thanks must go to Semyon, Rosa and Clara for their bravery in agreeing to tell their heartbreaking stories to us on camera.
I will always remember you, your incredible strength and resilience and I feel honored to have met you.

Below are some photos from what was a truly moving trip.

Women at Cambridge: Women’s struggle for education

The first of four films from the Women at Cambridge series I had the pleasure of shooting for Duckrabbit and The University Of Cambridge on Women’s struggle for education.

From the Youtube description:-

The impact of women at Cambridge is incalculable. In 1869, Girton College became the first women’s college at Cambridge, and the first in Britain, to offer residential higher education for women. But Cambridge University did not grant degrees to women until the late 1940s, the last British University to do so. In this first film of a four-film series, Dr Lucy Delap and Dr Ben Griffin, co-curators of Cambridge University Library’s The Rising Tide: Women at Cambridge exhibition, explore women’s historic struggle for equality at Cambridge in the face of mass and sometimes violent opposition.

I really enjoyed hanging out with Lucy Delap and Ben Griffin who were as knowledgable and friendly presenters for the film as you could hope to meet.
It was also a real pleasure & honor (as it always is) working with Ben from Duckrabbit, who never ceases to amaze with his kind-hearted, open professionalism.

Shot on Sony A7III with Tamron 28-75 and Sony 16-35.
Mostly on the Ziyhun Crane 2 gimbal.
