December 2011:

Since April I have had a busy year, working on a couple of feature films, but several other varied projects as well:

As Sound Recordist in May/June, I travelled with Cinematographer Beniamino Barrese to USA, Rio de Janeiro, Jamaica and back to London, for a documentary following the Swedish Pop musician, “MoneyBrother”.

Assisting with Stuart Wilson, Orin Beaton and Lloyd Dudley, a feature film called “World War Z,” directed by Marc Forster and starring Brad Pitt (July-October) Including some work as Splinter Unit Sound Recordist using the spare Aaton Cantar, and one day gathering effects using a Deva V; Currently Sound Maintenance on the latest James Bond Film, “Skyfall”, filming from November until (hopefully!) several months into the New Year.

In May with Danny Hambrook, I was Boom Op for a very enjoyable and entertaining short film, “Friend Request Pending,” starring Judi Dench, Tom Hiddlestone and Philip Jackson directed by new Director, Chris Foggin.  Shown at this year’s London Film Festival. 

A film that I was Sound Mixer for earlier this year, “The Red Bike”, by Andrew Steggall, won its first prize in October, “Best UK Short” at the IRIS Film Festival. Congratulations to all!

With Sound Mixer Gareth John, and Boom Op Adam Laschinger, a really enjoyable few weeks in June/July, assisting on second unit of Clash of the Titans 2, then again with Gareth John, as Boom Op, for an advert for “Barbie”. 

And back to the present, Last weekend I went to the cast and crew premiere of “War Horse”.  It was an emotion and enjoyable experience! I’m looking forward to a few weeks off this christmas, knowing that I will be heading back to filming for a few months afterwards.

Merry Christmas to you all!

April 2011:

I guess a quarterly update would be a good idea! I have worked on a couple of short films and a couple of bigger features, so far this year.  The features being a day on “The Iron Lady”, with Danny Hambrook and featuring Meryl Streep.  I wish I could have seen the whole progression of Margret Thatcher, she looked superb on the day I was there.  More recently, I have just finished working on the UK leg of “360”, by the director Fernando Meirelles, who directed “City of God” and “The Constant Gardener”.  This was with Stuart Wilson, and Boom Op, Orin Beaton.  A great experience, great people, and really feeling like I have progressed and improved in my role. Brilliant!

December 2010:

2010 has been a great year, with trips including Morocco and Moldova; working on “Lewis” with Production Sound Mixer Dick Manton;  “War Horse”, a film directed by Steven Spielberg, and a week of reshoots for the final “Harry Potter” film, both with Production Sound Mixer, Stuart Wilson.

I hope to have new photos up for these adventures very soon,

Merry Christmas everyone!
