Cyberfight was a project designed to experiment with virtual production and produce showreel content for the people involved. The film was shot in one day at the Alex Theatre LED Volume during my time working there.
As a part of its production I also produced a making of documentary to record the process and reflect upon its challenges and successes.
The film shows a cyborg enforcer (Shem Le Scelle) who has caught up with his mark (Myself) and plans to bring him in for a bounty, but gets more than he bargained for.
Bloodrite was initially conceived as a project for the Unreal Short Film competition but was unfortunately unsuccessful in being funded.
Despite this I went on to produce the film solo based on Nat Texler's initial script (Nat also contributed feedback and some voice work) and released it on Youtube.
It used an extensive amount of motion capture with me acting out each part individually and it was my first film project where I was also responsible for all the sound and music.
A theory of incompleteness, directed by Simon Green, was filmed as part of the Red Brick Wall Project's LED Volume at the Alex Theatre. I contributed to the project as an environment artist, helping to develop the tools at the space, and as a general stagehand on shoot day. The film was a finalist at the Sony Film Festival in 2021
As part of my wanting to learn more about film and in order to get clearance to be able to hire film gear for virtual production projects, I joined SAE's intro to cinematography class as a student.
As part of this, alongside learning camera operation, lighting, and general set operations, we produced a short film. I worked on 'Alone' as producer and first AD, and was responsible for casting, location scouting and permits, and when shooting I wrangled the cast and crew.
