Not I Am Legend 2 – London Edition

admin — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 20:51:17 +0000

A week ago Cali and I went around looking for locations to shoot some videos and headshots for his multiple online dating profiles (facebook & twitter… of course). As we were walking around Bank and Monument stations the sun decided to pop out to give us some much needed Vitamin D. As we were basking in this rare, beautiful light we snapped a few photos. Most were fairly mediocre and of little use (much like a Mac) but some were prime Photoshop targets. Here’s one of them. Original photo is here. I’ll stick a more detailed guide or the actual PSD up soon (although it is 1GB in size). PS The clothing is by Supreme Being (who have been keeping us very warm all Winter).

Reason #9001 of why RAW is better

I’ve forgotten the number of times I’ve managed to polish a crap photo thanks to shooting in RAW – here’s another example of why JPG is rubbish in comparison. Yassin and I met Franck ‘Cali’ Nelle on one of the usual Croydon rooftops earlier for a very quick ‘photoshoot’. Yassin² wanted to shoot some B&W film stock for uni so I snapped a few images while I could. Here’s the original photo…

Easily one of the top freerunning ladies right now. Girls, take note!

Freerunning… in 3D

admin — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 23:48:25 +0000

Ok, well, maybe not a lot of freerunning but I’ve been playing around with 3D photos the past few weeks and have come to the conclusion that it’s quite cool. Here are a few test pics, all shot on the 5D in both single and dual-cam set-ups. Note: these are best viewed with stereo glasses but also work with the Red / Blue variety.

Awesome-o new video from the Farang guys in Asia. There’s lovely movements and even lovelier bails to compliment the great camerawork and editing.

Storm Origins – Colour grade and shot breakdown

admin — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 22:53:28 +0000

A couple of emails inquiring about the colour grade in the latest Storm chickflick unfortunately found their way out of my spam folder and into my inbox. Although it’s really a case of – as one certain person put it: “just make it blue, done” – there’s a tiny bit more to it… Not a substantial amount, but enough to warrant finally making a post about it. I would’ve done this sooner but I’ve been in temporary retirement from the media industry. And I’ve been destroying bitches at Black Ops.

This post is under construction, with another few examples to come in the next few days…

More to come soon!

Concrete Circus – Mathieu Ledoux Post

admin — Sun, 22 May 2011 16:00:40 +0000

Before the first big day of filming (featuring the larger-than-usual crew above), Kerbie and I showed Mathieu Ledoux some of Croydon’s best attractions. Obviously going to Nando’s, Shakeaway and the market didn’t take too long so we had a bit of an impromptu photo session straight after. We sadly didn’t get too many shots on the day as we filmed a few bits and pieces for the film as well, but he did throw a couple of lovely moves for the camera. All of these are on the 5DII because, as we all know, the 7D is a bit poo for photos Lenses were – 15mm fishy, 50mm for the portrait and 70-200mm for the grind.

Concrete Circus (WT) – Channel 4 – August

admin — Wed, 18 May 2011 22:19:22 +0000

I don’t really want to give too much information away, but I’m currently directing a 4-minute short film to be included in a documentary directed by Mike Christie (Jump London, Jump Britain, Little Britain Down Under…).

The athletes at my disposal this time are Blue (from Storm), Mathieu Ledoux and Phil Doyle – all pictured above with Mike and myself. Rest assured that there will be BIG things in the video… and also something which hasn’t been done before. There will also be brief cameo appearances from The Fundamentalist (passport photo [ here ]) and one other freerunning veteran…

That’s it for now! For more information on the documentary, click [ here ].
