FLUTTERBY (2021)

Flutterby (2021) is my graduation film project I created as part of a team. Our main four members split into different roles representing each part of production. My role was cinematographer. I took charge of all camera and lighting equipment.

This whole project took eight months of from start to finish as we went through different stages of pre-production: meetings involving fundraising and planning, script rewrites, equipment practice, auditions, screen tests and much, much more. Due to the sheer amount of preparation and dedication, we were able to reduce our production days from four to three.

For post production, I had provided a list of shots and the takes I preferred would go in the final cut.

Despite the mass hysteria of Covid-19 flooding the news on a daily, this project was my favourite project I have ever worked on.

Post submission, the film was taken even further. With a handful of funds left over from the fundraising, Flutterby was entered into multiple Film Festivals across the United Kingdom. We were lucky enough to win many of these and were given the opportunity to view the film in a VUE cinema.

We used Aperture, Redhead and Dedolight lighting equipment.

At the beginning of February 2025, my friends and I embarked on a short camping trip across The Catlins. The Catlins is a vast area of farmlands, beaches and incredible views, located in the Southland Region of New Zealand's South Island. This trip was a well needed escape from work and every life and a great opportunity for me to begin another Photography Project. This is personal hobby of mine I have put hours upon hours of practice, trial and error before making most of the locations which surround me. It is my very own therapy.

My 2022 began with a trip to Snowdonia, Wales. I took this magnificent opportunity to capture the trip through film.

In early 2022, I had the privilege of going skiing with my family in the French Alps. In this project I experienced capturing snow on film for the first time. This was an experience I really enjoyed as I got to take my camera out with me onto the slopes. This video features my father and younger brother.

Hampstead Heath is one of London's largest public parks. It is also my local park which I have visited my entire life. I wanted to start off my Film Photography portfolio project by shooting at a location that felt familiar to me (and my Border Terrier 'Buzz').

In Summer 2024, I spent a couple of days in the French Alps with my family. In this section of Port Du Soleil I explored the areas surrounding Morzine and Montriond, venturing into the mountains and forests via E-Bike. This is my first video revealing my face via/ during commentary so mind my timidity in front of the camera. I primarily used my iPhone 15 in 'Cinematic Mode' for A-roll as it was light, small and quick. I used my Sony A7iii for B-roll footage.
