Here’s a link to my new video for Dry The River. It was a hell of a shoot & by that I mean a lot of fun. The band was really put through the wringer & took it like men. It’s in their eyes. No rest indeed.
MAKING OF NO REST
More of this on it’s way..

I’ve just completed video duties for Olly Murs’s single ‘Busy’.
For the 4th Single they wanted to place Olly in a different position to the glossier X-Factor videos he’d had in the past & I enjoyed the challenge of thinking of a way of doing a sweet and colourful piece to suit the catchy ballad ‘Busy’ whilst also hoping to bend the rules of you’re usual pop star video.
I’d seen the brilliant ‘Lars & The Real Girl’ as well as owning and being a fan of a number of American Indie films (Wes Anderson & co etc) & thought it’d suit the tone of the video to mimic the strong composed visual style and mix of quirky humour and emotional content often found in these movies, and give Olly his own starring role. I decided it was best if Olly actually created his ‘perfect girl’ by his own arty hands and it wasn’t long before he was playing around with newspaper and wallpaper paste and getting into character.
We shot over two intense, intimate (20 crew all packed in the same room..) but fun days on the Alexa camera and Olly really embraced the spirit of what we were going for and kept his energy up throughout to pull of the ‘eccentric’ role in which he had to genuinely fall in love with a life size papier mache girl.
Until it’s added to my site, you can watch the video here:

My Grandfather always made a handmade, illustrated or lino-cut, handprinted card every year & I was brought up to do the same.. This year I sent 100 of these out to special folks – for me it seems to be one of the last remaining traditions that I don’t want to give up in favour of the lazy digital take-down & I will continue to do so till the day I die!
A Happy Xmas to all! – spot the references..
Here’s to great times in 2011!

A couple of my music vids are showing this week in short film night SHORT SIP where the cool sounding evening is described as “a monthly short film night where you get to watch a great selection of shorts and chill with a beer in one hand and a pizza in the other. Repeated twice across 2 London venues The Lauriston in Hackney and the Regent in Islington. No entry fee!”
So it sounds pretty fine to me! – I’ll be heading over to the Thursday night screening.
