Flood

Hard to believe but this is a colour photo. It actually is that grey here.

Stuck in the middle

Back on Adelante for some solo down time.
Only way in or out is by Kayak as the Thames has burst its banks.
The river is barrelling past and shows no sign of going down.
It's going to be a quiet Saturnalia -

Beats - AJ

Out in the Londons for a change

Grey Cup - Calgary

It was cold, boy was it cold

Kuwait Airlines - Kuwait

More high jinks in the desert.

Cargo - Watershed

What you might call a 'snug fit' installation for an art piece in Brizzle.
As always, rabbits out of hats for Holotronica

Vodafone - Women In Work

a bit of camera on a day out in Newbury

Cowtown - Canada

Much confusion after I am asked to go to Calgary - but with no clue why or how. Just get on a plane and we'll figure it out...

Blimey

Dubai - Holotronica

Yet more show saving, this time in the fierce summer heat of the UAE.

Beautiful Daze Festival

Using the new rainbow projector system..

Can't win 'em all - Toogether Festival

Jeez, there is simply almost nothing good to say about this gig other than I am glad it's over.

Been around The Orb

The Orb tour is finally over, for me on visuals anyway. They have a couple of more shows in Japan and then 4 or 5 more in the UK. I dressed as Eric Morecambe during the last track and 'went home' across the back of the stage, much to the crowd's delight.

The highlight of the 40+ shows for me, was me offering Fil £5 if he stole Gaudi's Theramin, which to his credit he duly did. I was setting up my kit when Fil ran past holding the Theremin, being chased by Gaudi..

Oh hum, back to the real world tomorrow, maybe

Blue Dot - Holotronica - Klick Klack

My digital camo seems to be working just fine.
Finally got to use my Arborist climbing kit, mainly due to the rigger being 6 hours late..

Winding down

Sadly all good things must come to an end.
Preparing for the last few shows of what started out as a 12 date tour and ended up as over 40 shows with The Orb.

The Orb - Chester

Someone leaned over the rails at the end of the show and demanded that 'those people covered in glitter should dance for The Orb'

Anglia Studios Norwich

It's the quiz of the week

Back at the old Anglia TV studios and it's our first multiscreen show in a while.

An 8-Bit coincidence

Added some 8-Bit graphics to the start of the show and would you believe, someone posts this the same day...

The Orb - Inverness

With live Sitar this time, from Suns Of Arqa - Wadada.

Beardy Weirdy

A detour back in time for The Orb to a land of psy-trance and composite video in the MegaDog tent at Bearded Theory Festival.

I had a wonderful time and didn't want to leave

Back on The Orb tour

A banging night in a crowded venue in Verulamium.

Someone asked me to turn up the Aircon during the show..
I mean do I look like an AC engineer?

What The Floyd - Tour of the Orkneys & Shetland

We were so far north that the north was 200 miles south of where we were.
Six back to back shows, clean air, some colourful 'local' characters and some cracking performances.  Even the local papers loved us.

Orkney News: "the light show was superb"

The Orb - Mackintosh Church Glasgow

At the last church The Orb played at, the Christian staff were less than friendly and didn't hide their disapproval, but this venue had wonderful people and amazing architecture.

Orb Sound System

A bit of a busman's holiday - in the audience for a change.

On tour with The Orb

Tempted live - Duran Duran

As promised, onstage video for Tempted shot by Nick Rhodes, Nefer Suvio and yours truly..

Apocalypse Now

Sailing the dutch barge narrowboat Adelente down the Shropshire Union Canal can get a little like a Francis Ford Coppola Movie at times.
There are some very unusual people here on the canals, and I might be one of them.

Devil's

A day well spent, filming My Bad Sister for Duran Duran live.
As usual, a spiffing time was had by all..

Canary Wharf

A late night light test for a big mapping project next year.

Day off? No chance

Most kids want to borrow the car, or need a new iPhone.
This one wants visuals for a show in Vegas.

Ibibio Sound Machine

Very excited to be working with this super cool band

Winter Lights - Canary Wharf

A cold wet and very smelly day spent in a river bed at Canary Wharf installing the projection system for Winter Lights.. A 5 projector blend in resolume with 5.1 surround sound from Qlab and a dollop of timecode for good measure.
It was fine, but of course you can't have a job that involves a 'Video Artist' without something going wrong.  Oh hum..

Berlin - Promo shoot

Much drama on set as the 10m circumference screen ends up as a 10m diameter screen.
We got there in the end, but it was a bumpy ride.

Dublin NYE 2019

Two big waterscreens in the middle of the river for New Year's Eve in Dublin.
Best part of the week was some young chap diving off the bridge into the bitterly cold river during the show.
