Four documentaries and one promo montage, this campaign for University of Bradford was all about showcasing the true student experience. I worked as a sound recordist on the five day shoot and then composed five bespoke tracks themed around the stories of the individual students. Filmed mostly in slow motion with a thoughtful voiceover, each short documentary needed to create an emotive, ambient atmosphere of pride and reflection. The promo was a more energetic piece with sound design mixed in amongst the music composition.

This documentary required a lot of dynamics and sound elements to capture the creative ethos ‘Signs With Soul’. I recorded in the workshop for weeks, collecting and archiving different sounds from screwing, drilling, slicing, tearing and cutting. All these different sounds helped me create the soundtrack for the film. I used a range of techniques, such as making music and beats from recorded impacts and other workshop sounds.

This track was written and composed to act as a standalone bespoke piece of music, capturing the laidback spirit of the brand. Alongside the main promo, this music was adapted to produce two teasers for social media, using feedback loops from the guitars in the studio.

The Artist And The Machine

The Artist and The Machine follows the highs and lows of Hastings-based artist Lorna Hamilton-Brown. Previously referred to as the ‘Banksy of knitting’, Lorna works in many mediums but this film focuses on the power of the stitch to create knitted pieces of art. Lorna’s work is at times socially charged and poignant but is always meticulously planned and brilliantly executed. This film explores the person behind the art and why the small coastal town of Hastings where she lives is so important to her creative process. We are shown how Lorna blends a creative, hands-on craft with the almost OCD, mathematical side of vintage machine knitting to amazing effect. From crushing self-doubt to flourishing creativity, this is a story everyone can relate to, told through the voice of one the UK’s most unique political artists.

The Artist and the Machine is a film about Lorna Hamilton-Brown a knitting artist based in Hastings. I gathered recordings of the sea and used that to make up the music composition. As an experiment I decided to put the sound of the sea through a reverb unit and got some really interesting tones, these were used create the base atmosphere of the music at the start of the film.

Creative Director: Jamie Neale Designers: Ollie Rone-Clarke, Trehane Taylor Producer: Tori Phillips Animator: Dimitris Papadimitriou Sound Design: Jamie Frye

Sottini, the luxury bathroom designers, were rebranding and required a cinematic ident to launch the refreshed identity. I worked sound-to-picture to create this elegant sonic branding.

NIKE HYPERVENOM 3

Cut. Strike. Score. The finisher is back. For the worldwide release of Hypervenom 3, we produced a multi-platform motion graphics package that captured the jaw-dropping speed and skill of the goalscorer. With strobing flash cuts and chopped up sound design, the campaign mirrors the raw pace and deadly finishing of the football’s greatest strikers. From YouTube classics to customised FIFA17 goals, and from Instagram posts to in-store animations, we combined a wide range of assets to allow Nike to simultaneously launch across channels.

Nike mashed up football with internet meme culture and FIFA video game clips, so we were able to composer some really frenetic music here. Part trap beats, part glitched crowd noise, this piece blended music and sound design in a chaotic and high energy style to match the campaign.

BUCKSWOOD OVERSEAS SUMMER SCHOOL

Buckswood Overseas Summer School (BOSS) is an English-language school that brings together an incredibly diverse range of young people from across the globe each year. No more than 25% of the attendees speak the same language, so they learn English fast to communicate with one and other. Every student who attends speaks of the amazing atmosphere and vibe at BOSS and over two days in 2018 we endeavoured to capture this spirit and energy they have on campus. The school champions diversity and multiculturalism, encouraging the young people to learn about and celebrate each other's cultures. All set against a backdrop of the beautiful British countryside of East Sussex.

Every summer teenagers from around the world come to this school in East Sussex for an unforgettable experience. We spent 3 days filming at the summer school to capture the vibe. The music is acoustic, happy and relaxed to match the atmosphere on campus.
