21 PostsCURSE OF MESOPOTAMIA SECOND TEASER
Some time have passed now from when we had to flee Erbil in Kurdistan Iraq for fear of being caught in between Isis advance and the US air strikes, meanwhile our director, Lauand Omar, has been busy tweaking the script in Istanbul first and then editing complete scenes as well as a second teaser of the film to show potential investors and fans alike. Here’s a link to the teaser, I hope you enjoy. Peace!
Shot on Arri Alexa with Zeiss Superspeed Primes.
CURSE OF MESOPOTAMIA FIRST TEASER
Here’s the first teaser for Curse of Mesopotamia, a horror/fantasy feature film I’ve been shooting this summer in Erbil, (Kurdistan) Iraq.
We shot 50% of the movie but had to go due to the war that was looming over us. We’ll reprise production at the beginning of the winter.
Produced by Visual K Production and written and directed by Lauand Omar.
Shot on Arri Alexa in 2K Apple ProRes 4444 with Arri Superspeed prime lenses.

JANET DEVLIN – HOUSE OF CARDS
Early last March I shot this music video for the lovely Janet Devlin.
Shot in Manchester on a pair of Canon 5D on Gemini recorders in Apple ProRes 422 with Canon Prime EF Lenses.
Directed by Henry Steedman, who cowrote it with Janet, the video reflects the singer’s playful nature.
New Andrex Eco Campain Out Now
The new Andrex Eco campaign is finally out. The campaign was directed by Dan Burn-Forti for Making Pictures and shot by me. Dan also was the photographer behind the print ad campaign. All the videos we shot are on my Works page but I decided to post the very funny bloopers video here. A treat for puppy lovers. Shot on ARRI Alexa with Cooke S4 Prime Lenses. 🙂

SAVAGES – SHUT UP
Here we are with on my latest effort directed by my friend, the very talented live performance director Giorgio Testi.
This is essentially a no budget production from the very nice very talented all-female band Savages. They’re rough and powerful and their shows are worth the ticket price.
Shot on Canon 7D and 5D Mark II with Canon EF Primes and Zoom Lenses.
Shut up and enjoy then!

THE ROLLING STONES, BACK ON TOUR!
I had to shoot this last week for the band itself!
Unfortunately there wasn’t enough time due to the very quick turnaround to go around the world to shoot Mick and Keith so we had to send local crews to cover them. Director Giorgio Testi and I had to spend a lovely day in the company of the other two legends Charlie and Ronnie. They were the nicest gentlemen ever and I am grateful to have been given the chance to meet them. I’m also very excited by they’re upcoming, now officially confirmed tour. Their live shows are great and not to be missed.
Mick and Keith were shot on Red Epic with Leica and Canon Primes.
I shot Charlie and Ronnie on ARRI Alexa with Zeiss Ultraprimes.
Directed by Giorgio Testi, produced by Pulse Films.

This is something else I shot for them earlier to promote the first five dates of their 50 & Counting tour. Shot live on RED Epic, Canon C300, Canon 7D, GoProHD with Canon EF Zoom and Prime Lenses and directed by Giorgio Testi too:
The Killers – I feel it my bones
This year I was involved in shooting The Killers’ music video for the Christmas song “I feel it in my bones”, although as in the 2nd Unit DoP’s guise only.
Giorgio Testi (2nd Unit Director) and I shot all the band’s footage behind the bleachers of the Manchester Arena in Manchester the day after the band’s cancelled show, just before they travelled to Blackpool for other engagements.
I have to say I had a blast shooting them, they were incredibly nice and it was a cool informal set. I was asked to deliver a Ninety-eighties look. I believe I have achieved it, but judge it for yourself. The kit was minimal, we were only a crew of two, the director and myself. Production was co-ordinated by Pulse in London.

Rolling Stones Live at the O2!
Well, this has been a real surprise when I was told I was going to film the Rolling Stones at the O2, it felt unreal being there – I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn’t dreaming!
The content has been done as a promo for their new 50years tour, specifically for their official website and app. In the clip here I have to give credit to Dave Miller DoPing on the day, while I was one of the camera operators (www.davemillercinematography.com).
One more promo clip is coming soon on the their app and website too; on which I DoPed yesterday night during their second and last (really amazing) gig at the O2 Arena. What a night and what sound… they truly are the greatest rock and roll band of all time!
Directed by Giorgio Testi
Produced by Pulse Films
We shot on Red Epic, Canon C300 and Canon 5D with Canon EF Zoom and Prime Lenses.
