Ed Sheeran | Give me love (Acoustic)

Wednesday, October 26, 2011

I recently shot an acoustic video with Ed Sheeran. I was given confirmation on the day so I didn’t have to much time to prepare.

Unfortunately my lighting plan literally blew up in my face;) My 150watt that I was planning to use as a Back light/kicker, popped instantly so I was left with 2 x 650watt lamps… a 650 is not the greatest light to use as a kicker but with not...

Ericeira Travel

Sunday, July 3, 2011

This is a short film created in the love and support of this beautiful surfing/fishing town in Portugal called Ericeira.

Canon EOS 5D Mark III

The Canon EOS 5D Mark III specs have finally been released. Plenty of amazing upgrades for Filmmakers like myself. Not as much upgrades as I would have like to have seen.

The new DIGIC 5+ processing technology offers improved image quality removing all moire and aliasing problems that the mk II has. This is... Read More
