The Internets

Creative Consultancy, making clever content for all screens.

Socialize is a creative brand whose members meet very occasionally to eat fine pies, but more often than not come together to create special projects.

At Meanwhile we pioneered an approach called Venture Marketing. It was our way of describing the combination of the social influence of marketing and communications and the entrepreneurial approach of private equity and venture capital.I concerned myself mainly with creative, planning, strategy and the supervision and delivery of all content.

Soho, London

As Senior Creative Director I concentrated mainly on bringing large scale VFX and digital projects to life for a broad range of clients, from automotive to fashion and film.I ran projects both in the UK and India leveraging all of the resources Prime Focus had to offer.I also shot and directed several projects for Burberry, as well as full CGI commercials for P&G and 118-118.

I oversaw the running of the commercials business for Prime Focus. Taking the Clear Post Production Ltd staff of 35 and merging it with the Hive and VTR plc to create a division over 125 strong, which was then branded Prime Focus.My responsibilities were both as a Flame artist and Managing Director. During this time we established the combined companies as a major creative force in the highly competitive London post production scene and also began the process of connecting the London businesses with those in India and recently acquired Prime Focus businesses in North America.

After raising the finance and heading an MBO of Clear I refocused the business, returned it to profit and my partners and I sold it a year later to become a core part of Prime Focus, the huge Indian visual effects business.I was both the MD and a senior Flame Artist at Clear during this year and we completed some amazing work for the likes of the BBC, T-mobile and Samsung.

Clear was an extremely creative, award winning boutique post production facility with a strong identity for creating the most memorable visual content in the business.During this period I delivered Rock DJ for Robbie Williams, became a director of the company and helped develop some incredible new talent.

London And Milan

Freelancing for Interactive in Milan whilst also transferring back to London and also working for Cinesite, Red Post, SVC and Clear.

Milan Area, Italy

At Interactive I was exposed to the full post production service from film development, editing, offline and online, to TV production, visual effects, colour grading and pre-press. I settled in VFX and after using mainly Quantel equipment both in suite an on set I then installed and ran the first Autodesk Inferno in Italy. I supervised many shoots as a VFX supervisor and traveled extensively, working for Italian and international directors, pioneering cutting edge visual and camera techniques in what was was a particularly pioneering period.
