Creature Cast

NHS

The NHS has launched a nationwide project to enable patients with prostate disease to make the right treatment choices for them. I wrote both programmes and directed the interviews with the doctors and patients (Pukka Films)

Rolls-Royce Marine

Rolls-Royce Marine delivers power systems and deck machinery for Merchant, Offshore and Naval vessels and is one of the most profitable parts of the company. I scripted three videos for an investor relations event held in Singapore, where their HQ is based. (The Edge Picture Company)

Shell

Shell International has a large production unit based in Shell Centre in London and over the years I have worked on a variety of videos for them including most recently two staff induction programmes for their plants in Singapore.

Lloyds TSB

Lloyds TSB has an ongoing training programme to make staff aware of financial crime and to encourage them to report anything suspicious. I have written three videos in this series covering topics such as money laundering, identity theft, mortgage and VAT fraud. Powerful dramas bring the issues to life and demonstrate how financial crime is far from victimless as it's often used to fund narco traffic and terrorism. (Orchard Communications)

Vive la France

I learned French as a child and taught for a few years and the French Lycée in South Kensington (in English) and so am reasonably fluent. I am a keen follower of French culture and politics and enjoy listening to the radio and reading the classics. Yup, you could call me a francophile! So if you need someone to converse with the natives, conduct off-camera interviews, translate or write sub-titles, then get in touch? Most recently I co-directed a video on climate change for the European Climate Foundation and interviewed various leading lights including the environmentalist and broadcaster Nicolas Hulot and Henri Proglio, the head of Veolia and EDF, France's stated-owned energy company. I have also directed medical case study and PR videos, interviewing doctors and patients across France and Belgium.

Je travaille dans la vidéo en tant que scénariste. Je suis basé à Londres. Je parle couramment le français et l'utilise souvent pour des sociétés telles que Sanofi Aventis et GlaxoSmithKline pour leurs communications bilingues. J'étais professeur de sciences naturelles au Lycée Français de Londres. Si jamais vous avez besoin de scenarios en anglais spécialisés en sciences et marketing, surtout n'hésitez pas a me contacter.

Foster + Partners

Foster + Partners have projects underway all over the world and video plays a central part in their communication strategy. I scripted two videos, one about a development in Kazakhstan called the Central Markets Astana and the other in Abu Dhabi about an extraordinary walled city called Masdar that will have zero emissions, energy and water consumption. (The Bank)

GlaxoSmithKline

I scripted and directed a 3D animated training video aimed at technicians required to operate a new H1N1 viral assay machine. I also conducted off camera interviews in English and French with patients who had been diagnosed with cervical cancer to support an educational programme to encourage people to be vaccinated against the human papilloma virus, which causes it.

Unilever

Unilever spends 25 billion Euros globally on goods and services so procurement is a major undertaking. The company needed a video to encourage staff to use the procurement system which requires cooperation across a number of departments. I developed a creative concept where each department in the procurement chain was given a voice. These appeared interacting in a lively way within an animated graphical framework. The programme has been very well received across Europe (Mediapool)

Pfizer

I have written videos for Pfizer for over 20 years. The latest was a public awareness video about a new vaccine against cervical cancer. I conducted a series of off camera interviews in English and French with patients who describe the effect of the disease and the value of vaccination. I also interviewed the leading authority on vaccination at her hospital in Paris (House Media)
