We were asked by our Client, Penguin Books to create 12 x 2 minute social films to promote the book Save with Jamie. We shot Mr O in a very natural style, sharing tips on how to make your money and food go further.  Below is an overview of the films as well as the poster we created to support the launch of the book.

Shortly after our shoot, Ayesha was announced as the only English Competitor in WWE's Mae Young Classic Event.  We handled every part of the project from creative concept through to casting, styling, art direction & production.        We had a great day with Ayesha, and happily, most of the Models we worked with are now out of hospital.
We art directed and produced this for Charlie Brooker's award winning series, Black Mirror, whilst working in house at Channel 4.  The Star of our shoot was absolutely charming and was  encouraged to work, with food fed to her on the end of a stick. Potential Clients should know that this technique also works on us.
Our tribute to our favourite US President, Jed Bartlett, was created when we worked in house at Channel 4 and saw us give him his place amongst his illustrious Predecessors. We're now thinking of lobbying Congress for  Matt Santos to be placed to the left of  Washington!
We were the creative team on this campaign for Channel 4, art directing as well as producing all aspects of the shoot.

We were asked by Jamie Oliver to work with the ad agency Mother to produce a campaign for their Client, Youngs, which we presented several creative concepts for. Two days before the shoot, Youngs told us they wanted 2 x ads but didn't have any more budget.  Keeping our shoot team very tight, we managed to the shoot and deliver both finished ads for the cost of one.

We created this campaign with agency, Big Small, for the Channel 5 show, Bad Habits. It was a lovely experience directing the Sisters as well as the young ladies featured in the show. We even resisted the urge to sing anything from the Sound of Music, so well done us!

We worked with agency, Big Small to create Channel 5's Brand campaign across TV, cinema, OOH, press and digital.  We showed various Channel 5 faces where they feel most at home, and the shoot took us from a 150 year old Library to James Herriots stomping ground in the Yorkshire Dales and onto the Outer Hebrides.

We created this story featuring a Super Heroine with the power to shrink, taking on a powerful Sorceress. We teamed with Photographer Bill Waters to create our homage to Stan Lee, Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko.
I'd wanted to collaborate with the incredible Lisa Lottie for ages, so when I saw that she was en route to the UK from her native Australia, I jumped at the chance. What that lady can't do with a hula hoop is not worth talking about. I roped in Photographer extraordinaire Charlie Surbey and Retoucher Stuart Frost from Curious, and we ran away to join the circus. We just had to make sure we were home in time for tea.
