This is an edit I made to promote the film. MORE INFORMATION ON MY INSTAGRAM PAGE ABOUT THIS PROJECT.

Commissioned as Broadcast Designer for the MTV VMA’s 2022, I was tasked with creating a full suite of on-air visuals including lower thirds, mortises, and idents. Working closely to realise the creative director’s stylistic vision, all content was designed without the use of integrated After Effects plugins. This approach ensured the project files remained fully customisable on site, allowing the team to make real-time adjustments during the live broadcast to accommodate audience voting. Hired for six weeks, I delivered a cohesive, flexible graphics package.

I recently edited and co-directed the official music video for "Showtime" by catfish and the bottlemen in close collaboration with the band’s lead singer Van and his management team. They provided me with an archive of live performance footage, which I edited to craft a narrative that reflects the energy and spirit of the bands live shows. The process involved selecting key moments from various gigs to build a cohesive visual story.

Parlophone 120 Years Film, A Home For Unconventional Minds. This was made during my time working daily for the label over an eight year period and it was shown at the Warner Music Main Stage Event in 2016. It is still one of my favourite projects despite it being 8 years old and quite rough in places. It was a proud moment to be asked to create this tribute to the iconic record label’s rich history. The film blends archival footage with modern cinematic techniques, capturing the evolution of Parlophone’s influence across the music industry for over 120 years.

During my time working in-house at Warner Music’s creative production studio, The Firepit (later renamed Warner Music Entertainment) in 2018. I was tasked by the hired Creative Director to create a lyric video for Ed Sheeran’s track, “Bibia Be Ye Ye”. The studio had been commissioned by Atlantic Records to produce a lyric video for every song on Sheeran’s Divide album. For Bibia Be Ye Ye, the green screen rushes of choreographed dancers were keyed, edited, and colour graded in post-production. I then added animated graphic elements and lyrics, incorporating the divide symbol in a playful and animated style. Unfortunately, none of these lyric videos were ever released due to a miscommunication between the label and the studio regarding video branding. The videos were intended to adhere to the blue, black, painterly aesthetic of the Divide album cover, but this vision was never properly implemented across the project.
