Directing, Shooting, Editing and Colour Grading
I do it all!

Coconut

Coconut is a short, south-asian inspired fashion film directed by Tasnim Khatun. I participated by editing, doing sound design and colour grading, all for which I was given a lot of creative freedom by the director. I decided to go for a look inspired by retro Indian films/posters, featuring warm colours and saturated skin tones.

What I did: Editing, Colour Grading, Sound

Rolex & WIRED UK: How Arctic Caves Are Exposing The Secrets of Our Climate

This project was a collaboration between WIRED UK, British Vouge and Rolex for their Perpetual Planet Initiative. The videos were produced by AC Studios, and I was brought on board as part of my internship to act as a BTS Videographer/Runner and to shadow some of the crew. It was my first experience of working on a professional set and I learnt so much about what each persons roles were, how scheduling on a set works, directing an interview and much more!
During the shoot, we filmed two interviews. I've linked the second one here.

What I did: BTS Videographer, Runner, Shadowing

Flaneur Atelier: FINDING THE WHY

FINDING THE WHY is a short film completely made by myself, exploring my journey with art and trying to refocus myself to look at why I was doing art, rather than what I was actually doing. It's an amalgamation of other unreleased projects I filmed and some original footage.

What I did: Directing, Shooting, Editing, Sound, Voiceover, Acting, Colour Grading
