Here’s my new spot for REWE. Made with the Stink Berliners, via Heimat Berlin.

Shot by Shawn Kim, art directed by Simon Boucherie, graded by Phillip Orgassa @ Arri Berlin, cut by Alex Jurkat, and starring Livia Matthes.

Really fun shoot, up in Riga – Latvia. 3 things you probably don’t know about Latvia:

1) The current BMX olympic champion is Latvian….. 2) Within 5mn of landing in Latvia, you’re likely to hear an anti-Russian comment….. 3) Latvians are strangely awesome at beach volley

Here’s my video for my brother’s awesome new electro-funk outfit BURNING HOUSE

Burning House = Hervé Salters [General Elektriks] + Chief Xcel [Blackalicious]

Video was co-created with the extraordinary Joseph Pierce. Danced by the unstoppable Olivier Casamayou @ I Could Never be a Dancer. And made in Paris & London.

Like it, Share it, Hug it, Meditate on it, Enjoy it

WOW i suck at updates apparently. Been a while.

Just finished a video for my brother’s new project BURNING HOUSE. Very excited about it.
Waiting on the label to release it in September before the album drops. I collaborated with brilliant London-based animator Joseph Pierce. And Olivier from I could Never Be a Dancer delivered an awesome choreography. Can’t wait to share.

Some screengrabs from the video….

Also just shot a fun spot with Stink Berlin via Heimat, about a girl who loves food.

This little dude has a cameo in it…

Just back from Los Angeles, for part 1 of a Skunk themed spring. Fun job via Deutsch NY.

Now off to Prague for part 2, shooting a big number for Hanes via the Martin Agency.

Happy to be working with I Could Never Be A Dancer on this one.

Am in Uruguay prepping a shoot for Cadbury’s via Dro5a.

In 3 days i’ve already gotten bitten more times, and eaten more meat than in all of 2012.

Just back from shooting a new Sony Playstation campaign in Prague.

We had a weird machine gun rig, we had a monkey visit set, we shot 16 hours of footage in 3 days, and our awesome stunt coordinator Ladia chopped off a quarter of his middle finger while testing a rig. (yes, chopped off).

Other than that it was pretty uneventful.

This is me testing the weird machine gun rig, with Ladia bandaged up in the background.

And here’s a behind the scenes of my latest eBay spot

Here’s the director’s cut of my new spot for eBay.

Motion control + big mechanical effects and art dpt + Bucharest = an effing hard shoot…

But we got there. thx to all involved for the hard work ! Credits on the link

Just back from my first Moscow shoot. Don’t think i’ve ever ended up with something so different from what was in my treatment. The lovely Stink Moscovites made it all ok though!

Here’s some split screen fun I just made with Mother London for Young’s Fish.

Just wrapped the edit and grade on my second Wrangler film. It’s now in post. Look forward to sending it out into the world soon.

(April 2012)

Wrangler ‘Get Your Edge Back’ just won FWA Site of the Month! I’m told that deserves a high number of self-pats on the back.

Just finished a live video for General Elektriks, sprinkled with some nice visual oddities. It was made with footage shot over 4 Paris concerts in February. Shot by Grand Crew, edited by Mathilde Brilliant, and post by Nightshift. Check it out below !!

Off to London now for a fun split screen job with Mother. Haven’t shot in London in forever – looking forward to it.

(February 2012)

Here’s my film for Wrangler’s Spring/Summer 2012 collection. Made with the Stink Digi amigos.

Thanks to the Attitude crew for giving my site a facelift !!

Just shot a new film for Wrangler out in Wilmington, North Carolina, which is the home of Iron Man 3, Dawson’s Creek, a snake infested river, a couple haunted bed & breakfasts, some tiny poneys, and some more unforgettable stuff.

Won’t be out till July (sad face), but the one i shot for Wrangler 6 months ago is out next month (relieved face).

In other news, my brother’s been killing it on his tour (innit) and making people jump …

(Nov 2011)

Just back from Buenos Aires where I shot a really fun US spot for Honey Bunches of Oats.The meat was tender, the malbec was hardcore, the cast and crew were top notch, and we shot on the set of Amas de Casa Desperadas, aka the latino Desperate Housewives…

So overall, an awesome experience.

Quizz question – in the pic below taken from the spot, what is the woman so excited about?

Heres a link to my new video for General Elektriks. Really happy with how this one turned out. Labour of love.

Summer aint here no more, but, emmm, its a metaphor, dude.
