Recent projects

About half my work is live video engineering for conferences, concerts and exhibitions, and the rest is custom-built hardware and software solutions.

If you're reading this you'll probably already know what's involved in conference work, so I'll skip that bit. Here's some examples of the custom-built stuff:


Alpine F1 garage (motorsport)

Alpine F1

Video and lighting control systems for the Alpine F1 garage, including race engineer integrations, and the most famous curfew timer in F1.


Virgin Media Portl (TV advert)

Virgin Media Portl

Using the Portl (now called Proto) hologram system to allow fans to play FIFA with their idols over the internet.


Air Suburbia (EE TV advert)

EE land a plane remotely

Using an OpenReach FTTP connection to send multiple video, data and audio feeds between an airplane, an airport and a house in Harrow.


Coolman's Universe NFT activation

Coolman's Universe

Crypto activation event in NYC where NFT owners could see and interact with their custom character using RFID scanning. Biggest win: custom-built space invaders!


Nike Air Max Day

Nike AMD

The latest in a series of brand activations for Nike Dubai. Users can build a custom audio track with associated real-time visuals, then publish and share it via QR code and a custom microsite service.

Equipment

This list changes a lot and I'm not very good at keeping the logos up-to-date.

Analog way, Barco, BrightSign, Christie, BlackMagic Design, Green Hippo, vMix

Fun (free and/or open source) stuff I've done
