This blog is also a way of showing my work and some ideas to people, but for myself also to have fun.

He is now in a state where continuing this documentary would be silly. I hope it makes a difference.
I recently finished university so i thought i would post some of my recent work. I cannot post up ‘The Way The Lamp Swings’ as it is off to festivals soon, but below in my showreel you can see a few scenes such as the opening shot, Jacob in the sea searching for this daughter and Jacob on the deck franticly fighting against his own lost mind.
Below the showreel is ‘Poppa’ (2012), which looks at Alzheimer’s once again but for the final time. My grandfather is now in a state in which i don’t think he will be around much longer so this is my last attempt at making a connection through the medium of film.
Hope you enjoy!

A Brief History of Time Travel (in Movies)
If ever a movie earned its time-travel plotline, it’s Men in Black 3, which attempts to revive a movie franchise largely forgotten by audiences after its disappointing second entry. Men in Black 3 sees Will Smith’s Agent J going back to the 1960s to save partner Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones in the present, Josh Brolin in the past), and mines its late-’60s setting for jokes both obvious (hippies, Andy Warhol) and subtle (Rick Baker’s new alien designs, which are derived from the style of ’60s science fiction).
But if time travel, as the Men in Black would have it, is “illegal throughout the universe,” cinema is full of lawbreakers. It’s been 10 years since the last Men in Black movie, but nearly 100 years since the first time-travel film hit movie theaters. There are so many variations on turning the clock forwards and backwards in cinema that it’s difficult to say these films even belong to a unified “genre.” But every time-traveling movie has, in its own way, had to overcome the mind-bending logic problems inherent in its premise. And each, too, has played on a universal, if vain, human desire to experience a world that’s entirely unavailable to us—and perhaps to change things in our own.

Some of my favourite frames from what I think I can safely say is my all time favourite film; Paul Thomas Anderson’s “There Will Be Blood” (2007).
To me, everything about this film is perfect. The story, the performances, the cinematography, the music, the pace, the themes and motifs…everything.
This film motivated me to ensure that my work always bares strong reference to the story and concepts within what I’m working on, with every shot (or at least that’s the goal). I feel the camera in “There Will Be Blood” almost serves as another character within the story. It’s unforgiving and brutal in what it shows us, yet it allows us to want an awful, awful character, Daniel Plainview (Daniel Day Lewis) to succeed.
I just love it all. The texture, the sense of scale, the colour palette, the character enhancing lighting that remains motivated and contextualised throughout. Robert Elswitt. You are one of my heroes.
I really want to shoot some 16mm with some anamorphic glass this summer…
Completely true. The film for me does the same. It has made me put the context of the story first before making any choices on equipment or pallets.
