Come behind the scenes with the Chineke Orchestra.

This film shows the orchestra preparing for a concert at St Paul’s Cathedral in London.

The concert is intended to draw attention to global climate change.

It’s a fascinating mix of classical and world music.

This is the inspirational story of Paul Betts, the UK Disabled Bodybuilding Champion.

Paul spent ten years bed-bound due to congenital disability.

He credits bodybuilding with transforming his and other disabled athletes’ lives, thanks to the motivation and discipline it has brought to their lives.

This film was published by UNILAD and Jungle Creations and has received more than 300k views.

I went to India to make this film for Christian Aid’s Harvest Appeal 2019.

I was lucky enough to meet some amazing people and see how the charity transforms lives around the world.

This film tells the story of Kasthuri and her son Mathi, who are from one of India’s excluded communities.

Thanks to the EcoVeg project, Kasthuri is able to earn money to support her child’s future.

In this charity appeal film we meet Ranjita, a tailor in India.

Born into the lowest caste, she was forced into ‘manual scavenging‘ at the age of nine.

She cleaned latrines and sewers for a few rupees and scraps of food.

She fought for her rights and her life is now very different.

Here is a three-minute documentary I made about the UK’s underground wrestling scene.

I am a big fan of the Great Big Story series, which in my opinion is a masterclass in short-form documentaries.

So I decided I too would make one… and here it is.

Many thanks to all the wrestlers who participated in this film, in particular Chris Gladden aka CJ Carter.

So without further ado, let’s get ready to rumble!

Here is a piece to camera I shot with actor and Save the Children Ambassador Dominic West.

I managed to grab a few minutes with Dominic while he was recording a voice over for the charity’s powerful new video Made in Britain.

This film highlights Britain’s role in arming Saudi Arabia with weapons used against children in Yemen.

This is a short social film I cut for Save the Children’s news Twitter channel.

Films made for social media need to tell complex stories quickly.

In this 60-second film we get a snapshot of the terrible challenges facing millions in East Africa.

Without urgent action their future looks bleak.

In this 60-second social video for Save the Children we meet Hazem*, whose home was targeted by an airstrike.

He faced beatings from Islamic State fighters and was forced to hid in the ruins of his house for five days.

The power of Hazem*’s testimony brings home to us the appalling conditions faced by children in war zones.

This social film is part of the charity’s focus on mental health for children affected by conflict.

Thankfully, Hazem* managed to escape to a camp for internally displaced people.

This is another social media film I cut together from footage filmed by Save the Children inside Syria.

In this film we meet 12-year-old Zainab*.

She lives in a camp for internally displaced Syrians fleeing conflict.

Before arriving in the camp she lived under ISIS rule… and saw things no child should ever see.

Here is another promotional film I made for Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper campaign.

In this video super models Poppy Delevingne, Erin O’Connor and David Gandy strut their stuff in their Christmas jumpers.

This video was syndicated to publications such as Harper’s Bazaar.

If you want to help disadvantaged children around the world this then you can get involved here.

Now here’s something I’m sure you have never seen before.

Check out the aquarists at the London Aquarium as the don their Christmas jumpers to clean the shark tank.

Of course it’s all for a good cause…

But do the sharks know that?

This is a promotional video I made for Save the Children.

The film is behind the scenes footage from a fashion shoot.

It features celebrities Tom and Giovanna Fletcher modelling Christmas jumpers for the charities Christmas Jumper Day Campaign.

I made this mash-up for BBC 3.

It’s a comedy compilation based on their hit comedy series Murder in Successville.

Check out these 10 top tips to be a great TV detective.

WARNING: the show features very adult humour and this video fully reflects that.  You have been warned…

This film covers an event at the British Museum in which VR technology was used to bring the Bronze Age to life.

We hear from the team that created the walk-in Virtual Reality Dome as well as members of the public and curatorial staff.

This is a really exciting marriage of the ancient and modern and really gives the audience a sense of what life was like thousands of years ago.

Could this be the future for heritage organisations?

Ever wondered how to put together a virtual reality experience?

Here’s how to do it in just 60 seconds.

The crew assembled this dome for the Bronze Age Virtual Reality Weekend at the British Museum.

You can see how the weekend panned out in the adjoining video.

This is another video for the Wellcome Collection.

In this work photographer & filmmaker David Bickerstaff and Ruth Garde, curator of Wellcome Collection exhibition, ‘Tibet’s Secret Temple’, discuss some of the activities, imagery and symbolism seen during a research trip to Tibet.

Take a guided tour of some of Tibet’s most sacred sites.

Here is a video promoting a new exhibition from Wellcome Collection.

The exhibition is called Tabiyat: Medicine and Healing in India and it runs from January to March 2016.

It examines the history of of medicine in India over many centuries.

This video features just a few of the fascinating exhibits that are on display at the CSVMS Museum in Mumbai.

This is one of a series of short films I made for the RAF Museum in London.

The museum has been short-listed for the National Lottery Heritage Award for 2015 for their exhibition First World War in the Air.

The exhibition is quite breathtaking and really connects visitors with the men and women who sacrificed so much 100 years ago.

It’s well worth a visit if you get the chance.

You can vote for the exhibition by clicking here.

Here is the full version of the film I made for Soluis Visualisation Studios at the Digital Construction Week event in London.

The guys from Soluis talk us through some of their ground-breaking Virtual and Augmented Reality technologies.

And we hear from exhibition attendees on what they thought of the cool applications on display.

Who wouldn’t want an augmented reality business card? 

This is a promotional video for contemporary dance performances at the RAF Museum in London.

Throughout 2015 students of dance from the University of Middlesex will showcase their work at the museum.

The performances are inspired by the experiences of men and women who fought in the First World War.

You can find out the performance dates by visiting the What’s On section of the museum’s website.

This is one of a series of videos I made for the RAF Museum to encourage the public to vote for their First World War in the Air exhibition in the National Lottery Awards for 2015.

I interviewed museum visitors who brought their children to a Painted Planes event day.

The kids recreated the camouflage patterns from a Fokker D7 biplane.

As you can see, they had a lot of fun and did a good job of painting the plane’s wing.

This is a fun video with a serious message to help children around the world at Christmas.

It’s a mash-up of 12 celebrities performing a special version of the classic Christmas song.

This film was published on the Sun’s website.

I’ll leave it to you to decide who is the best/worst singer, but for me Nick Grimshaw takes some beating.
