- Educake Case Study: The Curious Efficiency of Additional Production Time 10/05/22 - It can be difficult to convince a client to add time to their video production to create additional material. They usually have a brief, a deadline and a budget, and that’s all they want to focus on. This is a major missed opportunity, as generating additional versions, durations and adaptations from a production gives great […]
- Cartoon Faces 30/10/19 - My son has just started drawing characters so I made him this simple worksheet to help him begin to make them a little more expressive.

- Candice Breitz’s Interviews 21/03/19 - I’m slowly working my way through Candice Breitz’s interviews on Vimeo. They’re recorded for installations but they work really well as stand-alone stories. There are conventions and trends in documentary film that are often over-used to the point of patronising the audience. Such as the use of maps whenever a location is mentioned, archive footage […]
- The Road Less Traveled: A Personal History of Cinema 09/11/18 - This is simply a list of 100 excellent movies that, for whatever reason, have a low number of ratings on the internet. When you come off that hollywood highway of mafia, superheroes and princesses, the road becomes a little more challenging but so much more rewarding! I’ll update this list every couple of years. Dr. […]
- Adam Pelling-Deeves 2018 Showreel 05/01/18 - I was asked recently if I had a showreel but because I tend to get my work through word-of-mouth and repeat business, a showreel isn’t something I’ve used for over a decade! So I’ve gathered together what I can find (and am able to show) of my favourite work and it’s been great fun reminding […]
- Supernatural Samurai Movies 21/04/17 - I’ve been getting more and more into both samurai and Japanese ghost films, especially when the two subjects cross-over. The weapons, clothing, traditions and behaviours that are common in these movies make them feel to somebody unfamiliar with these themes, like they belong in the same series of films. Each one has shed a little […]
- Case Study: Chloe Giordano, Freehand Embroidery 23/02/17 - Chloe Giordano is an embroidery artist who wanted me to produce a promotional video for her that might also inform those already familiar with her work about her methods and influences. I was delighted with the opportunity. I knew that if I could capture the beauty of Chloe’s work in my production, it would result […]
