I'm a Creative Producer and Project Manager available remotely for short- or long-term projects. Specialising in sports, music, film/television, and branded content, I work across motion, stills, VFX, audio and everything in between. 

 

Hailing from Northampton - former capital of the European shoe industry (shout out Shoe Army) - by way of London, I now find myself in Curitiba, Brazil. Or Brasil, as it is known here.

 

Red Bull, Google, and a big chunk of Sky UK make up my roughly 8-year professional background.

 

Work from the latter lives on this site. It's a selection from the hundreds of projects I've been involved in, sometimes as an AP in charge of office and on-set admin support, post-production, and delivery, sometimes leading from start to finish. 

 

I'm used to high volume, working with zero fuss. Done the full spread, too: films, stills, animations, digital, banners, socials, print, radio, OOH. Ah, and a dance track composed entirely of  tennis sounds.

Outside of all that, I've assisted on London's Last Wilderness, a documentary about the effects of climate change on the Thames Estuary. I also offer music supervision and can also do a bit of design and copywriting when needed. In my spare time, I write comedies. I cannot claim to be funny.

Drop an email my way to say hello, check availability, or talk about remote short- or long-term opportunities.

Based in Brasil? Eu também! I have a visa and can work on your English-speaking international accounts.

Welcome

F1 drivers have it pretty bad. Travelling the world. Free clothes. Yachts.

Alright, not so bad. But is the lifestyle the best thing about being an F1 driver? 

This project was a break from tradition. Sky's first social-led F1 campaign, rather than a TV spot launch.

Challenge
Tap into the sport's skyrocketing popularity. Talk to fans and non-fans alike, aged 35-and-under. Encourage them to sign up to Sky Sports F1 and see for themselves that where the real excitement happens is on the track. 

Production
7x core 30" films, plus hundreds of versions for every social media platform, as well as TV and radio spots. With cutdowns.  A mix of broadcast footage, social media content, and pieces to camera shot remotely by the drivers themselves. Absolutely mammoth. 

What I Did
I led the AV: sourced footage and photos, cleared assets for use, booked travel, liaised with  designers, creatives and editors, oversaw audio, and delivered where needed.

Success
It was rated System1 "Best in Class". Also, best performing social media campaign in Sky's history, 57% engagement.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Thelma and Louise, Harold and Maude. Film history is filled with great double acts. 

It is also full of people walking away from ridiculous explosions unscathed, with their hearing in tact.


Idris Elba and his sidekick pay homage to the silver screen, careening through the streets on a pair of armchairs to launch Sky Cinema's partnership with VUE.

Challenge

Make people excited about the cinema again. Get them back into the auditoriums. Entice them to subscribe to Sky Cinema where they will get 2 free VUE tickets a month.

Production
Shot over the course of 4 days in Cape Town. Closed streets. 2 go-karts pulling the armchairs around. With a Marvel stunt coordinator overseeing the action, they were in safe hands.

Many weeks of post-production after on the final 60", followed by cutdowns. Delivery to cinema, TV, digital and a radio spot.


What I Did
AP support back in London - office administration, travel booking, Clearcast checks, delivery.

2023 saw F1 hit the Las Vegas streets for the first time. Such an occasion needed a season launch campaign to match. 

It doesn't get bigger than this neon-drenched rollercoaster ride directed by BAFTA winner William Bartlett.

Perfectly representing the crazy twists and turns which occur throughout the season, fans are taken on a journey of jaw dropping proportions.

All to the bop of A Little Less Conversation by Elvis.


Challenge
Make a film befitting the landmark event, grabbing the attention of fans. Coordinate with the Sky Germany and Sky Italia teams. Make the VFX look as realistic as possible.

Production
Cars and track completely built in VFX by Framestore, whose rivalled attention to detail made the ad feel believable. Lots of tests on the internal Nuke system to get the flares right in the nighttime setting to make the world feel alive. Live action shots filmed in Barcelona and Silverstone.

40' launch film with cutdowns delivered to TV, social and digital.


What I did
AP-support - compliance checks, Q&A, creative support, music licensing, delivery.

Outside of all that, I've assisted on London's Last Wilderness, a documentary about the effects of climate change on the Thames Estuary. I also offer music supervision and can also do a bit of design and copywriting when needed. In my spare time, I write comedies. I cannot claim to be funny.

ello, I'm Sam. I'm a Creative Producer helping people make

things. I've been doing it for around 8 years, starting as an intern, organising shoots and developing ideas for Google and Red Bull at a small creative agency, before moving to the broadcaster and entertainment company, Sky.

Over the 6 years spent there, I went from Production Coordinator to Producer, working on everything from digital banners to key art to films. Some 300 projects later, either assisting or producing end to end or providing support at various stages, I moved to Curitiba, Brazil, with family, despite only really being able to ask "bread, please" in Portuguese.
