AETHER
This is part of a recent promotional re-think I have been experimenting with for Aether. The brief is
to create a series of enticing 15-30 second videos to be shared as instagram stories encouraging
peole to order the re print of issue 13. These will not only be broadcast to Aethers own followers
but also, as sponsored posts, will be seen by users who don’t follow and may not be aware of
the magazine. For this reason the videos needed to be fun, bright and immediately attractive to
people who may otherwise swipe past them. For this story specifically I had endeavoured to
do this by using my own colourful footage from a recent shoot and layering a colour matte, trim
paths and animated glitch type.

Promotional material for social media distribution

This video is a promo for the Aether Issue 13
launch. As with all Aether work I put together
sequences in 1080x1920, 1920x1080 and 1:1
for each of the socials. Displayed here is the
instagram story as it is the one I believe was
most successful. It is a layered composition,
heavily typographical with some of my own
mark making. I was especially pleased when
I found a royalty free song created my Jean
Michele Basquiat to design it around - Aethers
editor is a big fan.

REFORM
THE FUNK
This was an edit for for RTF that required
some creative problem solving. The high
quality footage was poor becasue the camera
man had struggled to find a good position in
the crowd but the producer who was also on
the scene had managed to get some very
striking footage on her iPhone. This meant I
had to come up with a way to edit together
these two drastically different kinds of clips
and try to make a cohesive and fluid promo
for Doja Cat. At first I tried painstakingly to
get the clips to appear similar through colour
correction, stabilizers noise etc. In the end
however I decided rather than try to make
the clips seem similar I should push them
even further apart. The result is a bold and
challenging video which I believe is well
suited to the artist. I also had to use effects
and transitions to break up some of the
higher quality footage. While its quality was
higher than that of the iphone it had been
unable to capture much very much light.
After brightening them as much as I dared
I broke them apart with choppy music video
effects, this also was well suited to the style
of the artist.

I was asked to design a logo for walking meditation

group Mind Walks. They were a relatively new company
looking into branding for the first time. Because of this
the work I produced for them is extremely varied,
starting off quite slick looking as in this video. The brief
was to create a fresh and simple design, with a “social
media type look” that was also fluid and organic in
nature. While I do believe that this was accomplished, I
dont think it worked for the brand.

Initial logo design and animation for Mind Walks

With the company shifting its focus to
instagram I redesigned some branding options.
They still contained the simple modern look the
client desired but focused much more heavily
on nature, this I believe was better suited to the
brand.

Revised logo design and animation for Mind Walks

I was asked several times to come back and animate
the Mind Walks “Word of the Week” . This was a word
chosen by the meditation leaders for the group to
focus on each week.

This was a self initiated project I
undertook to challenge myself and
my abilities in a fun and memorable
way. I decided to produce this film
completely independantly, rendering
myself choreographer, performer,
film crew, set designer, editor and
director. I pushed myself completely
out of my comfort zone and was met
with positive reviews. My tutor at
university showed the film to Phil Lee,
then director of XL recordings (the
record lable that represents Radiohead)
who praised my performance.
