cambridge folk festival
super8 film

Having grown up 5 minutes away from the Cambridge Folk Festival site, I jumped at the chance to film the event in 2001.

I filmed lots of footage during the build up to the festival as well as the weekend itself on two Super 8 cameras. It was a rather expensive way of filming but worth it for that Super 8 ‘feel’.

BBC Radio 2 (sponsors of the event at that time) stumped up some money for me to edit the film professionally and eventually the film got shown at the prestigious Cambridge Film Festival as part of the short film programme.

live concert
drawings

A bit of an odd one this. I was asked to create computer drawings so that the show designers and the band themselves could begin to see how the stage set would look for the ‘Up’ world tour of 1999.

web shop design & consultancy

Mono Industries was asked to design a web shop for Icelandic band Sigur Rós by their management company Big Dipper Management.

A simple and elegant design solution was required to work alongside the band’s evocative visuals. Great attention to detail was given to the layout and typography within the shop as it was felt that the usual online shopping experience would not be appropriate in this instance.

The shop was built by e-commerce merchandise experts Sandbag.

U2

photo editing

Mono Industries was asked to photo-edit the first version of U2.com – the official website of U2.

The site was a complete retrospective which included all stages of the band’s career.
