Originally released in 5 parts on my personal YouTube channel, Conversin’ in Berlin began as a creative challenge whilst in lockdown.
I wanted to make some alternative style home videos, incorporating a collection of audio recordings, 35mm photographs and camcorder video snippets I collected from our recent trip to Berlin.

I had an incredible amount of fun working on this 3 part series for Funky Pigeon as a Camera Operator.
All episodes were flash mob style, live, one take setups shot using the Sony FS7 with CN7 zoom – a devilish duo for filmmaking!
A typical Oak Furnitureland TV ad and a typical Oak Furnitureland digital ad resepctively. Both created during my time working with the company while at Wordley Creative.
During this time I was mainly found writing scripts, editing offline adverts and directing weekly VO’s for a host of TV and digital campaigns.
Directed by Alex McPake at Cardiff based video production house Wordley Creative.
This shoot was a lot of fun, I remember it well as it was my first introduction to the amazing Sony Vegas.

Working with FreePrints on this short form social media campaign was a really enjoyable experience. This ended up being a really wholesome shoot – interviewing a series of people taking immense joy in revisiting some of the photos that capture their most favourite memories.
A few 📸 from Electric Soup #10 at Cathays Youth & Community Centre last month ft. massa circles, FFRWD, Lecu, Jaxson Payne & Kayla Painter.
A track taken from Pet Deaths mesmerising Sofar Sounds Cardiff set at the cities Sull Space.
Amongst the footage recorded that night, I found this additional track ‘lola or lolita’ which features on the bands debut album ‘To the Top of the Hill and Roll…’ It felt wrong to let such a beautiful performance sit unseen on a hard drive, so I felt obliged to share this almost forgotten edit.
Thank you to Sofar Sounds for allowing me to document this and for always supporting cities and their local music scenes.
Watch this space! 🌗🌊
