Westward Ho!
shooting video at Westward Ho Devon A test desaturated yellow colour grade using a still from the shoot Shooting a video can be tough, especially when the sun is out and the temperatures finally creep up to 16C.

Exmouth Winter
Exmouth Winter Days video An experimental video motivated by being drawn to a seaside resort in off-season. What storyline? Initially it was shoot and see what happens. A creative exercise. As time drew on, I realised the weather (variable to say the least) was the narrative – the rain driving me away from the town […]
