Sam Bryant - VB 'Smack My Porsche Up'

No Comment!

Ant McPhail - Oyster Vision 'Tiga' & 'Lady Sovereign'

I 'found' one of Cloud Control's artist passes (strange as Sam was doing their clip at the time) so got full stage access... funny security didn't find it weird that an 'artist' was running around the stages filming other artists.

Sam Bryant - Cloud Control 'Gold Canary' (Cutdown)

I dug up a rare old 1984 fairlight CVI on the other side of the country to make this vid for cloud control.

Sebastien - Samantha Wills 'Every Moment'

We shot this spot on the Canon 5D Mk II. It was perfect for this job. We really tried to create a relaxed shooting vibe to reflect the feel of the ad. Which I think shows.

Sebastien - Dukoral 'Forgotten Something'

The agency (Saatchi & Saatchi) were really great on this and wanted to do something different and fun. Which I think really paid off.

Sebastien - Shoot Australia 'A Voice'

Being an actor turned director, I have a great appreciation for actors and what they do. I want us all to work, so I was really keen on doing this spot and for all of us being pro-active about this cause. It was nice to do something simple, but still doing something visually interesting with it.

Ant McPhail - Lee 'Black Threads'

We shot this in half a day with 3 guys and a van.

Sebastien - Emphysema 'Own Worst Enemy'

I love this concept! Its dark, but really makes a strong and simple point. This is the kind work that inspires me.

Sebastien - Binge Drinking 'The Promotion'

This is one of those spots that, I think, where everything came together really nicely. All the performances are great and the cinematography fantastic. In essence, it's a short film, which is always a treat when you are doing a commercial.

Ant McPhail - Vision Australia 'Knife', 'Sewing' & 'Hammer'

Sam Bryant - GPS

Basically every time we went outside to film there was a small tropical cyclone. Wildest shooting conditions I've been in.
