Gorillabot – I’m Just a Robot
Over the last few months I’ve been helping out on Craig Bush‘s music video I’m Just a Robot for the band Gorillabot. We both saw them for the first time at the launch of their EP Malware. This photo of the aftermath gives a flavour for the gig. It was like a demented kid’s party.…

Creative Black Country
Last Autumn we were asked by Creative Black Country to make a half hour film documenting their groundwork groups presented by Fizzog’s Dancing Grannies. The aim was to make something that was fun and could be shown in front of all of the community groups at a party, which would be a rare chance for…

Croissant Behind the Scenes
Once upon a time Ian got some croissant on his face and a silly sketch popped out fully formed. The main challenge was how to attach structurally unstable croissants to a face.

Notworking
Recently I was asked to write for the good folk at Shooting People about film. So after a small amount of head scratching I thought I’d tackle the thorny issue of networking. I see it as an important part of making your way through film, but people get it so, so wrong. Here’s what I…
