Modern Neutrals perform their debut EP “Paradoxes & Agonies” LIVE at Snake Mountain Studio with video production by mcpake media.
We had such a top day with the Modern Neutrals and the wonderful folks at Snake Mountain Studio filming this one – and even more fun bringing it all together in the edit!
Wildflower is the first instalment of filmmakers Alex McPake & Mac Nixon’s ‘Places’ series.
‘Places’ is an experimental collaborative project between the two that flips the process of traditional filmmaking by shooting interesting locations and then constructing a narrative retrospectively.
‘Old Breed, Pt. II’ & ‘Books’ performed by Blue Amber at The Moon in Cardiff as part of this years Psych & Noise Festival.
Video Production by mcpake media (with thanks to Stephen Shelmerdine). Sound recorded and mixed by Ed Townend.
I had such a fantastic day filming and chatting with the very talented Richard Meyrick Guitars about his craft and guitar making passions for this project. Sifting through endless 4K 60fps footage of Richards process made the edit a joy to put together too.

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 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.
It was recently my 1 year anniversary of filming with the wonderful people at Sofar Sounds Cardiff! Here’s a snippet of some of the early shows I had the pleasure of documenting.
