derbydisiac asked: what device do you use to record your videos? I love your roller derby shots :)

Thanks! I filmed the derby videos on my Canon 7D (digital SLR) with a few different lenses, but mainly a 17-70mm Sigma lens. The Canon 550D is much cheaper and has very similar filming abilities though, if you’re thinking of going down the DSLR route…

Some of the other films on my tumblr are filmed on my iPhone, like the ones of me little niece Belle. Edited with Final Cut Pro 7 and After Effects CS5.

Here’s another Roller Derby vid - The Bristol Roller Derby girls & guest rollers the Beasts of Bodmin met up for a double header on the 11th March, which I went along to film.

Baby Belle III

A new installment - though she’s really more of a toddler now. And a right cheeky little sausage too. It’s the first one I’ve shot on my iPhone 4S, great quality for something so small. Check out https://vimeo.com/21843719  and https://vimeo.com/15438774  for the previous two vids, both shot on iPhone 3GS.

FKPro: Rugby Signature Series

Here’s a promo I cut for FKPro/Dair a little while ago. It has some big time rugby dudes in it. I wasn’t on all the shoots so I’ve not met them all, but I hear they’re all top chaps.

Trying to keep this shit updated a bit more frequently. Plus: free advertising for FKPro, a product close to my heart. Check ‘em out: http://fkpro.co.uk

Playtime: Sea Rhapsody logo ident

The results of messing around with Trapcode Form in After Effects for a couple of days. Fun times.

Michael Baker: Street Magic

A film I shot, directed & edited for magician Michael Baker during March 2011. Watch it to the end for the best reaction…

In honour of Pickering Pick’s new album coming out soon, here’s one of his older tracks I filmed a while back! Check out his page http://www.pickeringpick.com

Playtime: Energy ball!

It’s been quiet in the edit suite and I’ve been playing with After Effects. AND WITCHCRAFT.

Test: “SteadiGo” hand held steadycam rig for DSLRs

Meg and I needed to water Paul’s plants and feed his cat & fish while he was away. I needed to test out my new hand held camera stabilising rig. 

Two birds, one stone.
