Interviews with Barbara Hulanicki (founder of Biba), Tom Walters and James Collie (producers of film)

Barbara, Tom and James only had an hour in London to eat lunch and be interviewed by me before rushing off to another screening in Brighton, which means we combined the two and ate lunch while recording the interview. Hence the cafe background noise!

Spike Island work - Kate Parsons and Mariele Neudecker

This summer I worked with several artists at Spike Island in Bristol on video instillations to accompany sculpture. Spike Island is a contemporary art and design studio and exhibition space, where lots of influential artists are based.

The link above is to Kate Parson's blog. I edited this video for Kate, and on her blog there are stills of it. Unfortunately the videos are not available online yet. The videos will be exhibited in the new year.

At Spike Island, another artist I worked with was Mariele Neudecker. As with Kate, the work will not be available for viewing until the official exhibition opening. However, here is some information on one of the projects I worked with her on her instillation 'Stay Forever and Never Come Back' which will be open on the 22nd October in Aldeburgh's Dovecote Studio.

Reperforming Performance- Footsbarn's Dream

This project's a pretty big one! On this site are interviews with cast, interviews with audience members, podcasts, clips of the play and much more!

I worked on this project with Pesala Bandara. Jonathan Heron co-ordinated the whole of re-performing performance, which includes much more about other Shakespeare performances, forinstance Northern Broadside's Macbeth and A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Reperforming Performance- summing up video

This video sums up my work with the CAPITAL Centre's Reperforming Performance project.
The project happened in summer 2008, when Pesala Bandara and created and put together a huge amount of digital media for an online web resource.

Warwick University Library check in check out video

Here's a very very old video, made a few years ago, for Warwick University's Library. Not the most exciting or creative of videos, but it does its job. The video was located next to the check in/check out machine at the library as well as being on the library's website.

I actually appear in this video- I'm the student using the machine!

Here's a podcast I recently made where I interviewed Jennifer Smyth from the American Studies department at Warwick about James Dean and the film Giant. On Saturday 10th October she'll be speaking at the Arts Centre after a screening of Giant, and this is a taster, that's on the Arts Centre's website.

The interview was really interesting, especially at the end where she sums up why he's still such a cultural icon after almost 60 years.

Interview with Lizzie Gillett, producer of the Age of Stupid

Here's one of the first videos I produced. It's an interview with Lizzie Gillett- the producer of the film The Age of Stupid. You might have heard of her recently as she's part of the 10:10 campaign along with the director of the film, Franny Armstrong.

Admittedly the lighting's not great but on a budget of £0 and a room with no natural lighting, there's not much we could do.
