Project Description

'Sapling' is my graduate film for my final year in IADT. The piece was an absolute pleasure to shoot, and I had a wonderful time working with Director Emily McGee. This was a project that proved how versatile I can be when approaching a film's visual style. Sapling was shot with three cameras and includes underwater sequences, hallucinated dance sequences, and of course: a beautiful story. I easily consider it to be my best work to date, and I cannot wait to see what I learn on the next project I shoot.


"Capturing the Mythic Other: Alien's Visual Style and the Fear of the Unknown"

Throughout my thesis I explore exactly what made Ridley Scott's sci-fi horror 'Alien' (1979) one of the most prolific and timeless pieces of science-fiction of the last 50 years. To achieve this, I dissected the inner workings of the film's camera and lighting department, art department and most notably the contributions of H.R. Giger to the overall design and atmosphere of the film.
