Announcing "Lionhead & Rapier"

I've been working on a project for a little while now. It's a short film that will act as my graduation piece and we're going to be spending months on it rather than the few weeks that we're used to.

You can follow the film's progress on it's dedicated website, www.lionheadandrapier.com. I'm massively looking forward to seeing what we can do with this, already the project has swollen into a bigger beast than I ever anticipated. The pre-production crew has already hit 20 people, which is bigger than anything we've worked on up until now, so it's a real challenge overseeing departments and initiating projects.

I'm sure we're up to the task though.

More stuff I done gone worked on.

A little slow on the updates of late. I've been keeping busy on a few shoots, but mainly I've been locked away working as a screenwriter for AhmCo on a project over the last few months, as well as trying to get my own stuff off the ground. And finally, I'm glad to say, we're now in pre-production for a few projects. I'll be moving back down south in less than a week so we can once again start making shiny new videos for the world to see.

Some other stuff I've worked on recently that you can totally, like, check out:

I worked as 1st AC on a Music Video for Air Castles

I worked as a sound recordist on Bruno Collins's film The Morning After

I worked as a sound recordist on a bunch of interviews at Elstree First Impressions. (Yet to be published, but a lot of the footage of our day is linked here!)

Stuff I Done Gone Worked On

The majority of the work that ends up on this site generally tends to be personal projects. I thought it worthwhile to start documenting some of the other stuff I get up to.

I directed a music video for DMANDLR

I directed segments for Dance Dr Dance

I directed a competition entry for Sci-Fi London's 48 Hour Film Contest.

I worked as a camera assistant for Serena Korda and The Wellcome Project's Laid To Rest

I worked as a camera assistant for Carlo Ortu's One Other Thing

I worked as an assistant director, editor and sound recordist for The Elstree Heritage Project

I was a sound recordist for the University Of Hertfordshire's Film and Television Promo

I co-directed the Virtual Open Day project for the University of Hertfordshire's School of Creative Arts

I was a sound recordist on Adrian McManus' Watching The Time

I worked as sound recordist and did a whole bunch of other things on A Free Lunch, a short film with Helen McCrory Directed by Peter Jones.

I am the Second Unit Director and 2nd AD on Tim Reynard's Film, Thunder From Her Heart.

Over the coming weeks, I'm going to be working heavily on pre-production for some really exciting projects. I can't wait for for you guys to be able to see them.

Until the next time,

Bower Out.

The Blanks: Empire O2

The Blanks invited me back to film them again, this time at the Shepherds Bush O2 Empire.

The last video I made for The Blanks has reached just over 8,500 views on Vimeo, let's hope this will have the same joy!

Done In Sixty Seconds

Again, myself and @Raquel_Haber enlisted @TomReader to star, this time in a sixty second remake of American Pyscho. @LucyFenton and @MattConYou appear too!

We shot this in the downtime between The Metamorphosis and George.
