Fairy Make a Wish Movie Released in UK cinemas

Here is the short film that I directed and designed for Fairy Liquid and Make a Wish Foundation. It was released on Friday at cinemas across the UK, and accompanies digital projections of Narnia The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and Mega Mind.

Fairy film in the can

I have just finished directing a commercial/short film at Slinky for Fairy Liquid through ad agency Grey London. The 2 min 20 sec film will be released in cinemas across the UK in the run up to Christmas. It is a piece that I am very proud of, and was created with a lot of care and attention to detail despite an extremely tight schedule. I will post a proper credits list with the film after its release, but until then a BIG THANK YOU to all the members of the team that worked with me on this and gave their all to produce such a charming film. I can't wait to see it on the big screen!

New job

Well I am back at Slinky directing a commercial/short film with agency Grey London. It's a really exciting project and I am very happy to be involved. (The film is due for cinema release at the beginning of December). More details at a later date, but in the meantime I'd better get back to my storyboard...

Passion

At the moment I am working at Passion Pictures on a commercial for the US directed by John Robertson.

Warp & Birds Eye View Re-Animate

I am very excited to have been invited to be part of the Re-Animate scheme 2010 run by Warp and Birds Eye View:

'...ReAnimate is the new animation development initiative from Warp Films and Birds Eye View with the support of Skillset Film Skills Fund.

Focusing on the worlds of screenwriting and animation, we will select up to 20 exceptional British women and equip them with the contacts and creative support they need to produce smart, commercial, animation ideas for the international marketplace...'

This is a great opportunity and I am really looking forward to developing some ideas through the scheme.

Watch this space!

FIFA film broadcast all over the world

FIFA 20 Centres for 2010 from Slinky Pictures on Vimeo.

The World Cup Kick off concert was broadcast all over the world last Thursday 10/06/10. And with an audience of 30,000 people at the Orlando stadium in Soweto it looked like there was a pretty amazing atmosphere there.

Unfortunately they didn't show the film on the BBC coverage, but it was broadcast on tv in other countries including Italy and Germany, as well as online. Here is a link to the German tv coverage so you can see the film in context (It is about 28 mins in. Please note that in this broadcast unfortunately it has been squashed and cropped top and bottom):
