It seems like all my life I have been watching, making and playing with the possibilities of the Moving Image. I love Motion Graphics, Animation, Illustration, Special Effects, Visuals, Experimental Video. I’ve spent many years following the work of pioneers and innovators who are pushing the boat out creatively and technically in the realm of the moving image. So I’ve decided to start this blog to indulge myself a little. I should also give a flavour of some of the influences that will be included in the course I run.
I have had a long background in video production and installation/projection,working on a wide range of creative video-based projects and commissions. These have included video work for MTV, Channel 4 and David Byrne; video designs for productions at prestigious London theatres including the Lyric, Saddlers Wells, and Almeida; visual projections for the Coldcut world tour, Hex/Hexstatic, and cutting-edge clubs including Ninja Tunes “Stealth”, Talvin Singh’s “Anokha”, and the Big Chill.
I enjoy exploring the creative possibilities of moving image and projection, and since moving to Nottingham I have indulged myself, producing a large scale public video installation, and producing videos for the Broadway Cinema, and Cast bar at the Nottingham Playhouse. I’m currently making a short dramatic film, and music videos.

I’m not quite as moody as I look in this picture, taken by a student of mine. Thanks Pete.
