Sound design, Foley. Well, I've known the fabulous Robert Milne since my days at Airside. His wit and talent are second to none. The animating superhero with an insatiable appetite for Marmite and cycling. So when he asked me to provide the sound for his short film Crow's Nest I jumped at the chance. Bearing in mind the setting, subject and message it felt best to make the audio as subtle as possible. No music, no heavy sound design, just some dead flowers, some wet chamois leather and a grey day on Hampstead Heath with my trusty H4n. Some good old fashioned foley! Already receiving excellent reviews and doing the festival rounds during the summer 2013, Crow's Nest is that rare and beautiful beast, the quiet short that shouts louder than all the rest.

Back in October they were commissioned to create an advert for Danish insurance company Alka. I was asked to provide the sound and perform a final mix for broadcast. Using some of my favourite sound sources (kids toys, bubblegum, lighter) and recording specific location audio (car interior, automotive workshop) I wove the sound together in the jolly, light hearted manner that was intended. With the supplied music edited to fit (let's lose that middle eight) and the VO sent directly from Copenhagen, the final mix was done at the excellent Sounds And Sons.

Voice Junior Astronaut is an app conceived, scripted and designed solely with the iPad in mind. Inspired by the legendary Kid's Space books of the 1950's and 60's it uses beautiful illustration, deep interactivity and creative story-telling to engage, entertain and educate a younger audience. Topics such as gravity, mass, weight and forces are applied to this perennially exciting, blockbusting and science-packed adventure. And the lovely people at Crank Publishing needed a voice to guide the user through this fantastic, entertaining and informative ipad adventure. The script itself was particularly large and the tone had to be informative without losing sight of the immense amounts of fun to be had. My brief was a blend of Horrible Histories with a slightly unhinged Scottish scientist. Not as tough as you might think. It was recorded over the period of two days with further editing, mastering and, of course, a well organised structure for the programmers at Crank to use. All in all great fun that reminded me of the work I did for the Royal Greenwich Observatory. Every day is indeed a school day. Tweet Jnr Astronaut - introduction from Crank Publishing Ltd on Vimeo.

Sound Design The fabulous Rupert Ray were commissioned by Someone to create an interactive microsite for all Chivas employees to access a wealth of brand guidelines. Taking inspiration from the birthplace of Chivas Regal 25, 1920’s Manhattan has been brought to life with a 3D animated cityscape beautifully blending the mood of a Hugh Ferriss drawing with the buzz and energy of the modern city. The user seamlessly navigates around the city selecting bespoke content within 8 hotspots placed in key iconic locations. I was asked to design the atmospheric audio for each of the eight hotspots, the transitions between them and a method of matching the visual movements with the audio. For each hotspot I used four 30 second loops playing simultaneously with different emphasis on certain key positions relative to the hotspot. This and a four way crossfade matching the camera move completed a seamless audio environment. When you see that 1920's trawler disappear as you pull away from the docks towards the theatre you'll hear it's horn drift away as the bustling sound of city life takes over. A truly beautiful project that everyone involved can be proud of. Above is a short film about the making of this outstanding microsite. Now where's my drink!

It was not as I first presumed. To make their product one of the cheapest possible KFC need to cut many corners. And trees. Yup, KFC are taking huge bites out of rainforests to ensure their packaging is as cheap (and throw away) as possible. ENSO hatched a plan inspired by the global Occupy movement to 'occupy' a collection of KFC promotional films. Appearing initially genuine it's only moments before the packaging 'revolts' and shines a light on the Colonels true state of affairs. I worked on five 'occupied' films in total.

Boffins at the Royal Greenwich Observatory asked shy genius Richard Hogg and designer Anna Fidalgo to create a short animation explaining how scientists are able to measure the distance between stars using parallax, doppler and red shift. This is to compliment an exhibition at the RGO to coincide with the Transit Of Venus, happening this June 2012. Along with first rate animators Kwok Fung Lamb, Robert Milne and Ross Philips, Dick and Henry Holland created the most simple, informative and entertaining four minutes ever. I was asked to sound design, produce and compose a fitting piece of music. I chose a waltz. I love a waltz. The voiceover was from Head Astronomer Olivia Johnson recorded on her laptop in her office.
