🦑 BURBERRY NIGHT CREATURES 🦑 produced by me for the mighty @the_megaforceThis was a true career highlight working with an incredible team of people at the top of their game! Shot over 4 nights and 1 day in London and yes we really did fly people through Shoreditch! Firstly I want to give thanks and praise to my production team who are the the unsung heroes in all of this - PM Davina Abrahams / PA @patch_wadsworth / PA @elliederose and also our amazing 1st AD @chris68kelly - without whom I promise you this film would not have happened. We had around 250 people on set plus dozens more in post production and Insta only allows 2200 characters in a caption so I can’t list them all here (I attempted it in a previous BTS post pls look there). But I appreciate you each and every one! Creative direction by #BurberryCreative idea and film direction by @the_megaforce Starring @Alanna.Archibald_ @JoshuaStorror and @nonokakato Creative production by @riffrafffilms Music by @yomofficiel Choreography by @la.horde Styling by @lottavolkova Hair by @garygillhair Make-up by @vass_theotokis DP @mauro.chiarello Production Design @thekellbar Wires @schofield_flying_effects by @_choppywaters_

FROM THE ARCHIVESSONY PS5 HEARTBEAT DIR. HENRY HOBSONPROD CO. MJZ2023Quite a recent one for Playstation with the supremely talented @hthobson bossing it! Shot in Croatia / Hungary / Slovenia (Ljubljana & the Slovenian Alps) – we covered 8000km in the vans over the course of the production. Each scene, which is on screen for a mere heartbeat, has so much depth in terms of location, art, stunts, Sfx and costume. There was enough work in this production for a major feature film. by @_choppywaters_

FROM THE ARCHIVESCONFUSED.COMDIR. AOIFE MCARDLEPROD CO. SOMESUCH2018Looking back on it I can’t believe confused.com let us make an ad with quite so much of a dark edge! I love it. This is the next in a series of great ads from @aoifemmcardle that I had the privilege to produce and another one from the heyday of Somesuch x Radioaktive Kiev production. It was kind of like the wild west of production – this one we found a half-built shopping centre where the money had run out and the developer had been run out of town. We took it over and turned it into our backlot / playground. by @_choppywaters_
