Coronation Street
I have been very fortunate to have worked with ITV on an exciting new Drone project for Coronation Street.
Below shows some stills from The Coronation Street Experience. This is fully open on weekends and it gives you the opportunity to visit the sets of the programme and take photos and to feel in the shoes of the actors https://www.coronationstreetexperience.co.uk/

Trentham Monkey Forest
I really enjoyed working with Studio B in the Winter and Spring to showcase the amazing Trentham Monkey Forest (The Only Monkey Forest in The UK). I shot the FPV drone for this sequence.
The VFX work in this video is amazing to composite the different tree elements and the monkeys and monkeys hands. Studio B completed this in Nuke and Cinema 4D
Below you can see some photos and videos and behind the scene clips from the filming. The first round of filming was done in the winter in which the park was closed and I was very privilege and lucky to uncover that very few people are able to see the monkeys in the snow.
I also worked on a promotional video for Trentham Monkey Forest which shows some of the key features of the area and it's history.
