Slapstick Comedy Festival 2018 Promo
I’ve edited the promotional videos for the Bristol Slapstick Comedy Festival for the last few years and this is the most recent edit I’ve done for them. It’s always good practice to go back and try to improve upon the previous year’s film. To find out more about the festival click here.

Cape Verde Holiday 2016

Considering I was going to a destination that was surrounded by the ocean, I decided that the best camera to take away with me would be my GoPro Hero 4. It meant that I could take it in and out of the water without having to worry about it getting wet or getting little grains of sand inside of it. The other plus to only having a GoPro is that you have to be more creative with the shots because you are limited to the wide angle lens. (Music: Django Django – Default)

Alp D’Huez Ski Trip 2016

A highlights video from our ski trip to Alp D’Huez – Only shows 10% of the fun we had! After making this short video I’m keen to produce more adventure type films, to show the more creative and fun side of filmmaking. Filmed on 2 GoPros and Canon S110. (Music: Benjamin Booker – Violent Shiver)

British Garden Birds

This short film is a unique portrait of bird species common to many gardens across Britain and aims to show their elegance and agility in flight. Through the use of two camera angles and slow motion the film captures a perspective of the birds that would be almost impossible with the naked eye.

Highly Commended in the 2015 BWPA Awards, Wildlife in HD category.
Nominated for the Cinematography category at the WildFilmFest.

Kickstarter Campaign Video for the Slapstick Comedy Festival

I produced and edited this Kickstarter Campaign for the Slapstick Comedy Festival in Bristol. The campaign was a success and raised £5000 for the festival which allowed them to keep their events unique and special for everyone attending.

Restoring Charlie Chaplin

A short documentary about the restoration of an 80 year old Charlie Chaplin poster from New York. The Slapstick Comedy Festival director, Chris Daniels, bought this poster in 2015, but when it arrived it was in a worse condition than he had first thought. He gave it to a well-known Bristol archivist, Alicia Garcia, who restored the poster back to it’s original condition. This documentary captures the poster in it’s ‘before and after’ stages and you can see how Alicia had to almost work a miracle on it, in order to get it framed before the festival.
