Radisson RED – Charles Rennie Mackintosh Mural

I worked recently with The BIG Partnership and Radisson RED to document the creation of the Charles Rennie Mackintosh mural to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the birth of Mackintosh. A number of short films were created, announcing the commissioning and the reveal of the mural.

Created by Art Pistol Projects and Rogue-One, the Mackintosh mural is the latest addition to Glasgow’s growing Mural Trail, and was unveiled just hours before a devastating fire tore through Mackintosh’s famous Glasgow School of Art for the second time.

Peoples Ford Transit Tales

I’ve been working with Edinburgh based car and van dealership, Peoples Ford, producing video content for their Transit Tales campaign.

Behind every great business is a great story. Filming throughout the UK with Peoples Ford customers – including Braw BeardFleurtations Plantscapes and Liverpool based band The Cheap Thrills – Transit Tales tells the stories of the businesses that rely on the UK’s favourite commercial vehicle.

Baku 2017: Journey from the Caspian

Prior to an Olympics Games, a torch is lit and carried around the host country to bring the spirit and excitement of the games to the whole country. For the Baku 2017 Islamic Solidarity Games, the journey focused on water instead of fire. Water is hugely important in the Islamic faith, symbolising purity, healing and cleansing.

Following the Launch Ceremony, waters from the shores of the Caspian Sea were sent throughout Azerbaijan. In return, crystal waters collected by children from lakes and rivers, waterfalls and springs across the land were united at the Opening Ceremony of the Games in Baku.

The Journey from the Caspian visited 16 locations over 37 days, travelling over 3000km before returning to Baku.

Working with local production companies in Baku, I produced and edited this video capturing the Journey from the Caspian. The video was projected on a large 85x35m projection screen during the Opening Ceremony, as well as being broadcast live to over 30 nations worldwide.

Baku 2017: Highlights from the Opening Ceremony

The Opening Ceremony of the 4th Islamic Solidarity Games took place in Baku, Azerbaijan on the 12th May 2017.

The spectacular Opening Ceremony, ‘Knowledge’, tells a universal story of peace and hope, and celebrates the enormous contribution Islamic civilisation has made to everything around us.

After relocating to Baku in January 2017 it was a privilege to be part of the Ceremonies team, producing and managing video content for the Launch Ceremony, Regional Events Programme, and the Opening and Closing Ceremonies.

Video content was displayed on an 85x45m projection screen, lit by over 130 projectors, as well as being broadcast live to over 30 nations worldwide.
