Live-Action
I have always been a fan of film and television, however, it was not until during my studies in Animation where I realised that I had a passion to work in the live-action medium as well.
​
I began amassing my own selection of equipment during the pandemic and immediately found that owning this equipment and having it to hand was super useful to help me to continue to learn and develop my skillset in this medium.

My Work
With my education being in animation, I have done my best to transfer what I do know over to this medium whist simultaneously trying to fill the gaps in my knowledge.
I have been able to work on this project for the amazingly talented illustrator, Corey Murphy. Tasked with taking some promotional shots of his new sticker pack, I decided to have a bit of fun and experimented with some areas new/unfamiliar to me (pixilation & 3D perspective shift).
The products of this project were to go onto the instagram and website for MURF. designs, so a varied range of aspect ratio was required.

PAGE'S EDGE
(2021)
My graduate film, 'Page's Edge', is a hybrid of live-action and animation where we follow a school boy's drawing come to life and struggle with the confines of the page.

Despite winning multiple awards, the two festivals I was most honoured to be selected for were the 'British Short Film Awards' due to its prestige, and the 'Golden Knight Film Festival Malta' due to my Maltese heritage.

"A brilliant mix of live action and animation. Very clever and well crafted with some great gags. A feel good and inventive watch."

I had the amazing opportunity to me the videographer for a beautiful wedding here in Cardiff.
This was a first for me; and despite being a long day, it proved very rewarding and highly memorable.
The outputs from my end contained a video of the entire day, a teaser video, a video of the ceremony and even a 'talking head' montage.

Anamorphic Lens Test

Testing out a new Sirui 50mm Anamorphic lens with the Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera whilst exploring an abandoned railway tunnel near the Forest of Dean.
This was soon after graduating from my animation degree; just as I started to explore the live-action medium.

Documenting the manic and chaotic process behind creating a 9 minute stop-motion film in your bedroom...during a pandemic. Watch as filmmaker Felix Surplus fills his lungs with flour and forever disrupts his - and others' - sleep schedule.
​
Felix's stop-motion short film 'Flotsam & Jetsam' has gone on to win multiple awards. So I am thrilled to have been able to see the madness behind the project.
