Film and Video
I've always been attracted to film as an art form. The thing I like about it is that it is a synthesis of all other art forms, writing, photography, music, theatre and so on. Below are a few examples of my work. You can also find music videos of me here and ones of my band here

Mikelangelo and the Tin Star ☆ No Sign of a Pipeline (official music video)
I directed this clip for Mikelangelo and the Tin Star back in February 2012. The two stars, Ezbon Yiap and James Seedy, have a great look to them and were
really good to work with. We spent a couple of days filming in Melbourne, Victoria. I also used a couple of shots that I'd taken in Goulburn, NSW. Mikelangelo and I were both pleased with the results. The incredible quiff that Ez sports is his real hair. It's not make believe! He wears it like that every day of his life.
A really good interview with Mikelangelo where he talks quite a bit about the clip and about my work on it can be found on the UK alternative music webzine Push To Fire here - http://pushtofire.wordpress.com/2012/04/23/interview-mikelangelo-the-tin-star/
Technical specs: digital video, colour, sound, aspect ratio 16:9, year of production 2012 // Taken from the album 'The Surf 'n'
