Do you have staff to train, hearts to win or minds to change? Whatever the creative or communication challenges, I strive to deliver a big idea, a comprehensive script and a happy client.
Foster + Partners
Product Launch
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.

Rolls-Royce Marine
Investor Event
Rolls-Royce Marine covers offshore, merchant and naval vessels and is massive. My task was to research and write the scripts for their annual investor event in Singapore. This involved conducting telephone interviews with their senior VPs across the world and writing the shooting scripts. This was my first project for The Edge which has an awesome reputation and I’m glad to report, it all went very well. (The Edge Picture Company)
Ministry of Justice – You be the Judge
Public Awareness
The Criminal Justice Reform Directorate, part of the Ministry of Justice, runs a programme called You be the Judge. It’s designed to increase public awareness about criminal sentencing policy and explains how judges and magistrates decide the most appropriate sentence in criminal cases. A large number of factors are taken into consideration, including the seriousness of the crime, the effect on the victim and any mitigating factors. They are also informed by sentencing guidelines, designed to achieve consistency across the country. I scripted four courtroom scenarios based on cases provided by the MoJ. To find out more about the project and the creative challenges it presented, click here. To try your hand at being a judge, go straight to the MoJ website.

European Climate Change Foundation
Conference Videos
When President Nicholas Sarkosy took over the EU presidency in July 2008 one of his first acts was to bring together the European energy and environment ministers. Not only did the three videos that punctuated this event have to be turned round in just two weeks, they also had to be in French or subtitled. I conducted all the French interviews including with Denis Hennequin, President of McDonalds Europe and Nicolas Hulot, their most prominent environmental activist and broadcaster. I also supervised the edit and subtitling. (Brandcast Media)

Barratt is leading a huge development in West London on the site of the former Beecham’s HG on the Great West Road- it’s called GWQ The Great West Quarter. This CGI video takes you on a virtual tour through the site. (Glass Canvas Productions)
ENRC
Financial PR
With huge, proven reserves of ferroalloy, manganese, iron ore, bauxite and coal in Kazakhstan, ENRC has ambitious growth plans. I scripted two videos commissioned by ENRC’s PR company Phoebus aimed at the financial press. (Brandcast Media)
Metro Newspapers
Sales Promotion
Metro is a worldwide publishing phenomenon. It is published in over 100 major cities on four continents. The video used a mixture of 3D graphics and live action to promote the advertising opportunities of Metro and to describe its innovative campaigns and street promotions. I was given the edited vision track and asked to pen some punchy commentary. (Grand Visual)
Procter & Gamble
Conference opener in French and English
Procter & Gamble were holding an event about the importance of innovation to the European economies. The opening video featured an English and a French family talking about the innovations that had touched their lives. I researched the subject, interviewed the families in French and English, translated the interviews and generated the subtitles – oh la, la. (House Media)
Rio Tinto
Graduate Recruitment
A video for use worldwide for recruiting graduate geologists to join Rio Tinto Exploration. It reveals that the work of the modern geologist is very technological and that the helicopter is used as much as the geological hammer. (Jacaranda)
