🚨 BEHIND THE SCENES with @maxverstappen1 🚨

This summer, @redbull asked us to shoot something special with two of their biggest athletes. 🎬🏎️

And long story short, our film hit 1M views in under 24 hours. It was Red Bull Motorsport’s best perfoming piece of content ever. 🔥

I’ve created an in-depth #behindthescenes mini-doc on exactly how we pulled it off. And here’s the trailer…

The full film covers:
🎥 camera setups (all 16 of them)
🚁 FPV
🖥️ file management
🎙️ capturing audio inside cars
🏎️ what it’s like working with Red Bull
… and much more.

You can watch it on our new website.

That was a wild one… 🤯

Here’s how we captured every shot we needed for this Honda campaign in just 5 takes.

Cars, FPV drones, time pressure and a small crew. What more could ya want?

Shooting a social campaign for @mini 🎥

Last year the legends at Adrift @shot_by_alice ‘n @sammorris3 asked if I’d join them in Lisbon for a 3-day shoot with the new electric MINI.

We had 6 videos to shoot, and 3 days (well 2.5 really) to pull it all off.

Alice had written up all the creatives in advance, so I was there to shoot video while Sam smashed stills.

Twas a really fun few days in the sun, and the content came out great.

Working with athletes 101

Whether it’s a feature documentary or a short-form social piece, vibes on set are everything. 🎬

One of the things we pride ourselves on at @stampproductions is creating a fun, welcoming environment for the athletes we work with.

And it’s that approach that’s led to so much of our strongest content and campaigns.

Like our film with @maxverstappen1 which became Red Bull Motorsport’s best peforming YouTube video of all time a few years back. 🎥📈

If an athlete is having a good time shooting with you, you can be sure the content you make with them will be better. taken in London, United Kingdom by @harropfilms

Latest @ufc documentary timeline. 🖥️

Also…

🚨 UPDATE on the doc!!

Since I wrapped shooting a few weeks ago, I’ve had heaps of messages asking for a sitrep on the film.

And the TLDR is: I’m editing it right now.

The reason I’ve been quiet is that the project has slowly been growing.

From a 15-minute character portrait into a fully fledged 60-minute feature documentary.

And with that comes an enormous time comitment.

For reference, I’m sitting on over 8TB of footage. Literally hundreds of hours of unseen material spanning 2.5 years.

Plus almost 2 decades of archive.

Half the battle has just been wrestling all of the scenes and plotlines into the right structure.

But I’ve found a winner. And I’m piecing it all together as we speak.

In fact, I’m actually looking at distribution options.

My elevator pitch is this:
A gripping story of one of the most unorthadox, underrated and misunderstood fighters in the sport. A documentary that pits theatre against authenticity, and gives viewers a truly unique perspective on what it’s like to fight in the @ufc.

@arielhelwani interview setup 🎥 🇺🇸

Not many people can say they’ve been in the iconic New York studio!

Loved playing around with all the textures and colours in there and finding a way to paint a strong image.

Ariel was a consumate professional and genuinely one of the best interviews I’ve ever filmed.

The documentary on Arnold is on the way, I promise…

It’s just that editing a 60+ minute film from scratch as a solo filmmaker (with full-time client commitments!!) is a marathon not a sprint, ha.

It’ll be worth the wait, truly.

How I set up for this @ufc documentary interview.

Had the pleasure of sitting down with the legend @adamcatterall for my upcoming film. Adam is one of the 🐐s of combat media, and you best believe we had a bloody epic conversation.

Anyway, we’d booked this location in London Bridge but only had 3 HOURS TOTAL to:

1️⃣ arrive
2️⃣ unload kit
3️⃣ recce the space
4️⃣ choose composition
5️⃣ set up
6️⃣ record the full interview
7️⃣ pack down
8️⃣ clear off

… so no time for hangin’ about.

Shoutout to my boy @jakedowsett1 for helping out on this one and also shooting all the BTS goodies.

The documentary is cooking away nicely in the oven at the moment. It’s a mahoosive project and balancing it with client work just takes time. I have heaps more to share from the making-of process though.
