Videotape 2009
Nearly 2 Years since my last showreel! Finally an updated version to replace the June 2007 Transmission reel! After many internal arguments and fights with myself as to whether I should even cut a new reel, I decided that the best way to go, if I did, would be to go against the expected norm of an electronic uptempo reel and go the exact opposite with a very downbeat almost retrospective soundtrack. The track finally used is Videotape by Radiohead. This is the live version sung and played by Thom Yorke and can be found here. Hope you all like it. Please let me know what you think!
Work includes in order: Leica One and a Half Love Stories, BBC Horizon How to make a Star on Earth, BBH Reel for DK, BBC The Truth About Food, Webbys Gala Opener for DK, BBC Horizon Why Do We Dream, Things Fall Apart, Leeds Film Festival Trailer, Black Day To Freedom, BBC Horizon How to survive a Disaster, Things Fall Apart, BBC The Big Bang, Left Unsaid, Webbys Gala Opener for DK, OFFF NYC Titles, OFFF Lisbon Titles, For All You Are, BBC Gerry Robinson meets the Money Makers, Flash on the Beach Titles, BBC Horizon How to survive a Disaster

Eulogy for Things Left Unsaid
Recently I discovered the music of Ólafur Arnalds who is a musician hailing from Reykjavík, Iceland. I instantly fell in love with his Eulogy for Evolution album and while listening to it I found myself seeing images from the film I made for the Twenty 120 project – Left Unsaid. Left Unsaid is a very personal piece for me and something I have fought internally over for sometime.
Originally the piece was designed to have a score and after a number of variations I cut it to the soundtrack of Hecq’s I Am You from his Night Falls album, but because I had talked alot with Ben (Hecq) while he was writing that piece and understood his reasons for it somehow it felt slightly wrong to use it. Just before I released Left Unsaid we were in the hotel at the Flash on the Beach conference and we realised that the film was more powerful by purely isolating the voice over thus creating a very lonely piece which is one of the main themes of the film.
I struggled with this decision for sometime and although I do love the original version a part of me has always wanted to have a score to it so after hearing the recurring theme to Ólafur Arnalds’ Eulogy I wrote to him asking whether I could use the track 00:40 as a score to the film as it worked so well. I’m honoured and thankful to say that he agreed! Now although I don’t particularly view this as a definitive version but I do love the idea of this as a counterpart to the original which is slightly more accessible for those put off by the intensity of the isolated voice over. Check it out here anyway and let me know what you think. Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.
