LOVE ISLAND 2015 - 2018

In 2015, ITV re-comminsioned Love Island and employed me as Series Director to breath new life into the format. It has since grown from strength to strength and is now an multi-award wining and international giant. Here are some snippets of my contribution to the show:

·     Incorporated Jib and railcam into reality coverage – this had never been done before in a fixed rig show of this scale and hugely increased the production values and visual impact of the series. The gliding camera moves give the reality a much glossier look, far beyond all competing formats in this genre.

·      I set the jib on a gator to enable quick repo’s around the whole villa, opening multi shooting positions giving the impression we have more than one jib, directly increasing production values to the viewer.

·     Established PSC crew to shoot slow-motion shots in all challenges

·     Sent PSC crew into the villa during parties to shoot slow motion, again hugely increasing the production value of reality content.

·      Incorporated PSC into camera hides to shoot slow motion during big format points.

·     Created the camera plan and carefully positioning more than 70 cameras to ensure we can shoot intimate close-ups at eyeline for reality storylines.

·     Studio directed every live final presented by Caroline Flack.

THE LOVERS AND THE LIARS - 2018

I've recently completed series directing a brand new international format for MTV. Presented by Maya Jama and set for broadcast later in 2018.

I'm a celebrity get me out of here - 2017

I studio direct the backbone of the format with Ant & Dec as they present the Bushtucker Trials. I plan all camera, sound and lighting positions for each trial, consult all departments throughout pre production and advise on all staging including filming at extreme heights, underground and underwater.
