Portfolio & showreel

 

This is the largest project I’ve worked on. This is the culmination of a collaboration between myself, AHRC Technē, Royal Holloway GeoHumanities, two musicians, and 17 academics and doctoral students. It follows the Technē PhD Summer School on the theme of “Listening: Field, Voice, Body”. Because of the experimental nature of the research, I took an experimental approach to storytelling - attempting to create an affective narrative. This was filmed on a Sony FS-7 courtesy of RHUL Media Arts.

Additionally, I collaborated with the co-leader to co-produce a film about the “Satellite Séance”. This can be viewed here. The password is “ATMOSPHERES” without quotation marks.


This is my most well received film to date. Created for a Masters assessment, it examines numerous urban-geographical themes within the city of London. The piece was co-produced, directed, filmed, and edited by myself, with co-production and writing by Oliver Devereux and Emma Christian. It received the highest possible mark, and lead to me teaching the module.


A 40 second film to promote Geography at Royal Holloway. It was designed with a brief from Time4Geography as a post-film sponsor roll. It uses footage from nearly all projects I’ve worked on at Royal Holloway, demonstrating the need for well organised footage archives.


A short film produced to promote Royal Holloway’s MSc Quaternary Science course. Filming took place over 2 days and editing took a further 2 days.


A short film for internal use at Royal Holloway promoting the Research Assistant placements on offer for second year Geography students.


The pilot for a film series I co-developed with the then Head of Department Professor Katie Willis. The video series is aimed at A-Level students. Taking on topics which are in the A-Level syllabus, the films aim to make geography more approachable and add some extra insight from what they would learn at higher education.


One of the first films I made during my time at university. First year undergraduate geography students travel to Nerja in Spain for a week of fieldwork. Here is my documentation of the trip in a mostly chronological order. The main goal was to create a record teeming with nostalgia. Recognition of this video by the department got me a job making films for them.

In second year, we went on a trip to Cyprus. I made a video of one of the days of the trip where we went to Nicosia Airport, a UN Base in the Buffer Zone. This was filmed, edited, and published in 4 hours.


A 7 minute film shot on analogue Super8 film. This film was a collaborative effort with the attendees on the residential trip I ran as Photography Society. Each member had time to shoot some footage on the film camera to make sure everyone contributed towards this collective memento of a week long adventure in the Lake District.


This is the most up to date film I’ve produced entirely solo. It took one day to make in total.
