Switch Off Advert
0:30
| 21/11/06 |
I decided to try to do a
non spoof ad in the regulation 30 second slot. Quite
difficult to think of an idea and communicate it in so
short a time.
It annoys me there are no
'save it' ads on the tv, so that is what I did, clearly
the irony is that I did it sat in front of 4 monitors... |

Mela
3:00
| 28/08/06 |
A mela is an Asian
festival with dance and food and we have one annually in
our local park.
As you can see in the film
it is a real family affair and all the more so cos no
one gets drunk, or even drinks anything really.
They had the worst PA
ever. |

Woolacombe, Seaside Fun.
5:30
| 16/07/06 |
Beccy and I went for a
short holiday in the summer to Woolacombe. It was
nice in a laid back way, very quiet as it was just
before the schools summer break, just a few surfers and
pensioners.
It was really hot and the
hotel was like something from 70s Spain.
Recommended if you fancy the English seaside. |

St. Paul's Carnival 2005
22:30 | 02/07/05 |
Just a film of my day at
carnival. My friend Clayton is involved with
carnival and is a good interviewer too so the film is a
vox pop really.
This film is definitely
too long and I don't think it is varied enough to be
interesting to the end. |

World on our
doorstep festival
Easton
10:55 | 18/06/05 |
A small street festival
held for the first time just down the road from me.
The street was Stapleton road, featured on channel 5 as
one of the most dangerous streets in Britain, yeah
whatever! |

Snuff Mills
04:21 | 05/04/04 |
There was a bit of a fuss
when the council did some pruning in this local pretty
spot. Some users of Bristol Indy Media got all in
a fluster about it.
This was going to be a vox
pop but it turned into a nature type film instead. |

Brett Haircut-
Election Special
07:39 | 05/05/05 |
Brett covers the count at
the council house in Bristol and completely fails to get
any coffee, gets followed about by the police and gets
thoroughly oppressed and outraged.
Have a go film making at
its best and worst. Totally crap, funny and fun to
make

'Obby 'Oss
01:30 | 02/05/05 |
Cripes, those crazy
country folk.
A person dressed as a sort
of round horse chases a virgin though the streets.
A 4000 year old tradition apparently.
Filmed by my mate mark on
a stills camera with sound from a Dictaphone, true low
budget film making. |

The good the bad and the
ugly.
Election Special
06:51 | 31/04/05 |
We lance the boil of party
politics, release the pus of opinion and drown in the
tsunami of views, not to mention some of the opinionated
drivel and uninformed bigotry that issues forth from the
mouths of our fellow citizens . Buy hey, thanks to
those who took part. |

Fox
Hunt.
16:26 | 18/02/05 |
This was filmed at a
meeting of the Beaufort hunt on the day after the
hunting ban came into force.
A jolly jingoistic day for
sure, hence my rather tongue in cheek edit. |

Party after release from
prison
02:32 | 10/12/04 |
This family fled Colombia
in fear for their lives and made a home here for 4
years. Then the immigration service split them up
and imprisoned them, they were released on appeal, hence
the party. I was
asked to film it to support their campaign to be allowed
to stay in the uk. |

 |
Vigil for asylum hope
family.
03:09 | 10/11/04 |
This vigil was held whilst
the family were split up and the parents imprisoned.
They received good support
locally, in the press and on the local TV. |

Blackwood,
Stump Trek.
05:00 | 10/04/04 |
A retrospective irreverent
romp in the aftermath of a failed road protest.
Our aim here was to get
there on eviction day, we were a week late and the trees
were gone and road building was under way. |

Drugs vox pop
15:00 | 15/09/04 |
I thought a vp on drugs
might be interesting. Rhianna got some great
interviews and then I did a funny edit with a sting at
the end. Ethically provocative maybe nut effective
I think. Amazing
what people admitted too. |
|
|
 |
No
Orange
04:34 | --/04/04 |
I filmed a small protest
against a new mobile phone mast.
This campaign group was
well run supported and succeeded in getting the planning
permission rejected on appeal. Clearly it was more
about house price paranoia than anything else.
Daft really. Sort of chicken and egg thing really. |

Bristol stop the war
march.
04:42 | --/06/04 |
A small local march in
2004, as of 2006 the war continues - depressing.
The march was attended by
100 - 150 people and nearly as many police. It was
all good natured except for the odd actions of one PC |

Red Florence,
Hannah Bayman
16:26 | --/02/04 |
It is November 2002 and
Britain and the US are preparing for the invasion of
Iraq. But in Florence, Italy, a million people are
descending to protest against war.
The film captures the
colour and excitement of the event, with drummers,
dancers, clowns and giant puppets filling the streets |

CIRCA in Leeds
13:00 | --/04/04 |
The Clandestine Rebel
Clown Army in action closing down an army recruitment
centre for a short time.
A clever and fun
demonstration tactic - make 'em laugh... |

Koyaanisqatsi -
Bristol Redux.
15:00 | 12/10/04 |
I love Koyaanisqatsi - an
amazing hypnotic film, to some it is boring hippy
nonsense, my partner calls it 'whenwillitendie'.
I was inspired to do
something similar on stuff I filmed locally.
Farcical? Who cares, I like it, so might you... |

Bow saw Badits
04:06 | 27/05/04 |
Every now and again a few
billboards get chopped down around here so I thought I
would make a film about it.
Had great fun editing this
and I like the result. |

Comment on the war in
Iraq. Contains gory pictures. |

Iraq war -
Vox Pop
15:00 | --/11/03 |
One of my first films,
shot in November 2003 before the war had started, now in
late 2006 it continues, madness.
Even back then most people
were very concerned. |

BACC Demo - London
02:20 | --/03/04 |
BACC - Bristol against
casualisation campaign. A small group of activists
went to leaflet outside parliament during a big do for
employamnt agency bosses, thay asked me to film it for
them. We also saw
the Iraqi football team arrive in their strip, click
bottom player icon to view that. |

Clifton is posh - no
hoardings, Easton is not - lots of hoardings. Why
is that I wonder....? |

Le Penn protest
Birmingham
03:52 | --/04/04 |
Mr Le Penn Visited and
wasn't really made that welcome, shame.
Birmingham mobilised and
the council joined in by supporting this action and
telling him not to visit the city. |

Vigil for
the
Fairford five.
01:30 | --/04/04 |
Some activists vandalised
a bomber to stop it bombing people to death and they get
knobbled. As of 10/06 this case continues.
Mad. |

Alistair Campbell
Demo
01:40 | --/05/04 |
The man was on a speaking
tour and some people in Bristol were moved to protest.
This man was on of the 'new labour' architects and as
such widely loathed.
Love the hand on camera
shot, well I was asking for it really ! |

Demo against Iraq war and
disney...?
03:52 | --/03/04 |
Odd this. A small
antiwar demo, handing out leaflets and a stop outside
the army shop, then a stroll in the shopping centre...
fine... then a nasty picket outside the Disney shop
intimidating staff? Err right, then (off camera)
they went and mobbed MacDonald's... Hmmm, well er, no I
give up ! Got some good hate mail after this film |
