John Walker and Son, Odyssey

John Walker & Sons - Odyssey from ART & GRAFT on Vimeo.
A few months ago Art & Graft approached me to do the photography for a new whisky John Walker and Son were launching called Odyssey. Love Creative commissioned Art & Graft after seeing the work Mike (A&G's Creative Director) and I had done together on "24 Hours, Pavey Ark" and "Island/Universe"

This time we were to off to Scotland for 5 days to capture the majesty of the highlands and lowlands using a motion control rig that enabled some of the dynamic backgrounds you see in the final film.  We provided lunch for hundreds of midges while we braved the Scottish weather to collect the footage which would be processed as individual HDR images and graded back at the studios in London. Using a Nikon D800 each frame is a massive 36.3 Mega Pixels. Once we had photographed everything we needed for the film I retreated to patch up my bites while Art & Graft set about creating the Magic. I think they describe that best over on their Blog, Here.

I am really pleased with the final film and the graphics make for a engaging and stunning introduction to the new whisky.

Island/Universe film by Mike Moloney and myself

During our time in La Palma our initial idea had to adapt and change due to circumstances beyond our control. The landscape and weather dictated our processes and we recorded our vision of La Palma.

The show is into its first week and yesterday Mike and I were interviewed for Artycok.tv (The latest news from the European Art scene). The interview should be up on their site in a couple of weeks. Above are shots of the show at _SFTF

24hrs, Here 1.2

From the 2nd to the 7th of November myself and the two gentlemen above went to La Palma in the Canary islands to make a film of the sky for 24 hours. What we ended up with was quite different, the results will be ready for viewing early next year.

24hrs, Here.

Once again I will set off up a mountain (well to be truthful this time it will be an extinct volcano) with Mike Moloney. Coming with us this time is the fantastically talented Chris Hatherill of super/collider fame with whom I have worked in the past. This time we are going further and higher than before, the Astronomical Observatory of El Roque de Los Muchachos. For 5 days (2-7th of November) we shall be shooting, rotating, logging and generally recording various aspects of life on top and above the observatory. Follow our progress at
