In 2008, me and some collaborators went to interview Simon Spilsbury and Rich Chant (aka the Artbombers) for a documentary in Bath. I got to interview them directly and it turned out to be really fun and informative.

I also had to make the Motion Graphics for the documentary and this is the final Title Sequence I created. It was a really good chance for me to go crazy with After Effects, because not only are the Artbombers a really fun agency – but the building they have their offices at is out of this w

It was an interesting project. I didn’t start it in the usual way (planning the narrative). Instead I went around my home recording the sound from different things. I then went back to my sketchbook and started drawing things that I thought the sounds could be. The one that worked best and was most appropriate to my initial influence, was the sound o

After living close to somebody with Schizophrenia, this production was sparked off by the idea that mental illness perhaps widens the gap between the front we put on in everyday life and the internal cogs that move inside us all. The Direction of the performance aims to disorientate the viewer as much as they might be if they had to live with the condition. Having the character perform and switch between first/ third person, mixing the voices between scenes, having the character answer herself/ contradict h
