David recently produced a wonderful turn-of-the-century, trade-card styled Album Cover for popular American singer/songwriter John Mayer. ‘Born & Raised’ is the fusion of Mayer’s exceptional blues/rock music and Smith’s outstanding designs.

My new film captures the ‘Behind The Scenes’ creation of the ‘Born & Raised’ and ‘Queen of California’ artwork, as well as 2 unique reverse glass panels, hand-crafted in England by David A. Smith.

A special thanks goes out to John Mayer for the web-chat interview as well as Sony Music & Columbia Records for providing the instrumentals and licensing music from Mayer’s fantastic new album.

With its organic nature, fire is a beautiful element to capture in slow motion. I performed this test as an experiment with the overcranking mode on the Sony FS700 camera (240fps/480fps) in order to directly compare the results to ‘Incendium’ where the slow motion was interpolated using Twixtor and shot on Canon 7D (60fps).

Special thanks to Elliott Montello for his fire-breathing skills, Blear Moon for his awesome soundtrack and Alex Thornton for assisting on the night.

The first day of filming turned out to be a weather nightmare! It was quite literally bucketing it down with rain. Luckily, my assistant, Miles Cooper was able to shield my camera with an umbrella whilst also holding a shotgun mic! I edited the majority of the project over the weekend and the following few days were there for any additional shots and re-edits.

All this unparalleled knowledge has led to Aatomotion wanting my take of the Drift Allstars Drifting event at Máriapócs Hungary. So here it is: Filmed mostly on FS700 and Contour cameras, edited by me for your entertainment:

This messy work was all for a promo vid directed by Michael Holyk for Subscape – ELEMENTS – Graveyard Shift:

This was my first experience filming drift cars and I learnt a lot about the motorsport as well as met loads of cool people and racing drivers.  Although very different countries, Romania and Hungary shared one thing in common – bloody hot temperatures!

Below is the first of the vids ‘Round 4: Romania’, stay tuned for Round 5!
