Not sure how best to describe Tony Singh, one half of BBC2's 'Incredible Spice Men'. Maybe eccentric, definitely unique; with his thick Scottish accent, his brightly coloured turbans and his passion for concocting finger licking delicious grub, he certainly knows how to put an interesting cookery book together. We recently had the pleasure of filming him for his book launch, luckily there were still some delicious morsels left-over in the studio from the earlier photo-shoot and like Tony says; they were Tasty!

How pure the shot?
@auroraorchestra.
@iestyn_davies.
Fun shoot last week - working on a promo for Aurora Orchestra and their latest concert "How Pure The Sky" with countertenor Iestyn Davies.
The theme of the concert is all things celestial - so we needed a visual way to convey this idea of getting into the heavens, and contemplating our place under them... Our solution was to employ a great bit of kit - the Sky Moth.
The film below is a little behind the scenes clip showing how we got the signature shot we were after - which wasn't easy as the weather was definitely against us - which made for a dramatic sky backdrop, but also made operating the Skymoth a bit tricky...
Thanks go to Dan and Michael from Skyvue for their efforts in such unfavorable weather and BIG thanks to Iestyn for agreeing to lie down in a wet, muddy field in the rain...
...and here is the full trailer for anyone wanting details about the concert:

Berlin Bound
Paul and I have just returned from a super-quick shoot in Berlin. We were covering a conference and creating some film content with a quick turnaround edit. All good stuff. Most impressive though - speaking as tech geeks - was the AV set up at the conference itself.
we've covered a lot of conferences in the past - but this one was just brimming with technology - to be fair, there was quite a large room to cover...
each attendee had their own iPad to interact with the presenters, ask questions, vote on topics etc - very, very smart.
Is there such a condition as "tech-envy"?

A Proper Cuppa
Just finished shooting @Cafedirect 's new delicious One Acre Teas
We love the new packaging, (well done Mayday London for the design work). If you want to try them you can purchase from the Cafédirect website with the new Slingshot tool thingy. Isn't life splendid!

Rainmaker Causing a Storm
@AgnitioCLM @eyeforpharma #e4pbarca .
Super pleased that the Rainmaker launch trailer is grabbing attention!
We're back in town today after an epic 2 day trip filming at #e4pbarca. One of our tasks was to shoot & edit the presentation of Agnitio's revolutionary new software platform Rainmaker, which was launched at the event, and then launched online on Tuesday evening.
In the weeks running up to the conference we produced a promo advertising the launch, which apparently attracted quite a bit of attention within the industry! Here's an announcement of the launch in the medical media, including a mini review...

5 Faces of Darkness
Spent Saturday filming with Sean Hogan again for a promo for Justin Greaves' new musical adventure, Se Delan. We sat down with the legend that is actor Billy Clarke, who previously collaborated with Sean on The Devil's Business as well as a few other projects. Sean is directing and editing the promo, which is going to be a strange journey through the mind, with the image of Billy's visage in various twisted states set to the dark soundtrack of the song. I'm not afraid to admit that at times it got very emotional on set.
As always working with Sean and Billy is an absolute pleasure, and we were blown away by the make-up skills of Chloe Edwards.. frightening!
Here's a teaser image comped from screengrabs from the promo, which I expect will be coming soon to all reputable vendors of great music..

Northern Rock
@CBP_Official.
Spent last Saturday shooting the promo for 'Northern Comfort', a track from the new Crippled Black Phoenix album White Light Generator (out next month!). Our old war buddy Sean Hogan directing, Nick & I filming.
We've been fans of CPB for years so it's pretty exciting to be collaborating on this film. It was a nice, relaxed day - promo shoots can get notoriously long, but everyone enjoyed themselves. Big thanks to Chris' partner for the most welcome lunch! The band were great, stayed focused and rocking for the whole day which made it so easy for us. Most importantly, the track itself sounds wicked, and hopefully we can do it justice with some cool visuals.
Another great thing was that we got to roll out the Canon C100 and really let rip - it was just one of those days when everything you wave the camera at looks effortlessly cool!
So the footage of the band is in the can, Sean is now shooting some bizarre sounding stuff to finish the rest of the story involving a doll house.
Expecting something very, very dark...
