Prague's Bones

The title says prague but this church with skeleton sculptures was in a little town about an hour outside of Prague. I traveled out to Prague with a film crew, of which I was a sound technician, to make a short film called "A Boy With a Kite" based on the story line of "Balloon Rouge". It consisted of 4 days filming and 48 hours of traveling on a coach, so with my spare day off I took it upon my self to go get a bit lost in the Chez Republic. I wanted to get out of the tourist scene in Prague but could go to far as I had to be able to make it back that day, so this church seemed like the idle place.

As it happened the hotel provided a taxi service to this place but I chose not to take that easy route and found my own way their on the subway then over ground train routes. I am very glad I did this even though it took a lot longer I got to see and feel what the Chez Republic was like much better, even if at times I was in some dodgy situations trying to hide my camera but still get shots of the place.

The bone church was a really interesting place and I suggest any and every one should visit.

Various photos from my travels around America

Fire works

These pictures are from a charity display worth $16 000 put on for terminally ill children. It was a huge display and I was lucky enough to be able to watch and managed to get a few good photos out of it too.

This is a leaflet that I created for my joint run online tv station which is called popcorn not included. I am one of three directors for the business which is a space to showcase emerging talent within the film making world.

Although these are just very basic leaflets and were just to promote the website, I thought I would show them on here as proof that I have photoshop skills.

so check out the website especially if you make any sort off moving visual media or if you work with in the industry.

Thames Side

Same picture different feeling, one feels cold and lonely and the other feels warm.

Spring in coventry

Ok these are a bit random I know but I was out with my flat mate filming a time lapse sequence for an animation he (Douglas Scott) is creating - which looks great by the way, and has a very handsome central actor..... :) - and the weather was actually nice in Coventry. I really enjoy spring time as you get to shake off the winter blues and absorb the energy that is produced by the sun, I believe this is a shared feeling as well because everyone seems to suddenly get active when spring finally arrives. 

So I tried to keep the photos bright and cheery even with the grimness of the tower block in some of them I think they still achieve a feel good factor.

America Summer 2007 pt2

Some more photos from 2007 in America. I forget if I took the top two pictures or if Ashley Branham did, but I did do some work on them. 

America Summer 2007 pt1

For the past two summers I have traveled to America to work in children's summer camps. After working for two months solid my visa allows for me to travel for the final third month and these are some of the photos from these times. I especially like the one of the seagulls and the footprints.

There are more photos to come from my travels in America once I can get my external hard drive to work again :s

New York 2008 Grand Central

All of these photos were taken within Grand Central Terminal

I organized a trip for 42 people last February to go to New York city. The purpose was to create a large number of media artifacts with a main focus on short films and documentary works. It was a lot of work trying to find the cheapest flights, cheap but good accommodation in a central location, travel to and from airports and equipment for such a large number of people but I am glad I did because we came away with some great work.

My main focus was on a documentary and these photos were taken when I had some time off from filming so they were not part of a larger project, they were just things that interested me.

I will post my films or links to my films as soon as I can, some really great shots to look forward to.
