Promo for Fantastic Fireworks - tribute to the Oscar-winning French movie in Leap Year.
Shot on a shoestring, using my own camera and a couple of floodlights the client had handy. Only me and the make-up artist are pros.
I prepared the shooting script from the idea supplied, directed the action, was lighting cameraman (John Nicholas is my alter ego) and editor.
I thoroughly recommend directing silent movies - you can talk all the time and get even amateur actors to deliver exactly (well, more or less) what you want!
The credits are bit drawn out, but then everyone involved client-side wanted to make sure their name was on-screen long enough.
Shot in HDV using my Sony Z1 on a setting for black and white film effect (PP6).
I've always uploaded .mov files to YouTube before, but have found that a .wmv (much. much smaller file) works just as well - at least in black and white.
Great fun! |

A canal-paced, relaxed and informative cruise with narrowboats Raymond and Nutfield.
Enjoy the scenery along the cut and find out about: working through narrow locks; towing on cross straps; breasting up and singling out; steering the motorboat and the butty; working through tunnels; what we do at canalside events.
Raymond was the last wooden commercial narrowboat ever built inBritain - Nutfield towed Raymond during the last years of its commercial working life, and they are working together again now, allowing the public to see and go onboard a historic vessel.

some of the BBC TV programmes
produced and directed by Jeremy Cooper
Until the Open University stopped broadcasting course-related prgrammes in December 2006, some of these were still to be seen regularly on BBC2 - the duration and first transmission details are shown in brackets.
- Moral Panic and Youth Culture
the love-hate relationship between the media and young people, from Mods and Rockers to Rave and Ecstasy (30 minutes: BBC2 2000) (Also off-line editor)
- Mr Moore Runs for Washington
An intriguing look behind the scenes of a 1998 Congressional election campaign in Kansas, where a democrat seems to have a chance of winning the seat for the first time in almost forty years. (50 minutes: BBC2 1999) (Also off-line editor, writer and narrator)
- Coming Home to Banaba
the dramatic and disturbing story of a tiny Pacific island destroyed by phosphate mining: ex-phosphate miners and exiled natives make a return visit. (website at http://www.banaba.org.uk) (30 minutes: BBC2 1998) (Also second camera/sound and writer)
- Patrolling the American Lake
from grand strategy to daily life with the US 7th Fleet and USAF on active service in Japan and the South China Sea - including life at sea aboard the USS Constellation, aircraft carrier and flagship of the 7th fleet. (30 minutes: BBC2 1998)
- A New Sun is Born
an account, using archives and memories, of the 1974/76 revolution in Portugal: generally not remembered in the UK, the army-lead "carnation revolution" brought about fundamental political change, from dictatorship to democracy, with virtually no violence. (2 x 25 minutes, BBC2 1997)
- Out of the Melting Pot
a portrait of the liberal Jewish-American community of Los Angeles. Does being more Jewish mean being less American? On the contrary, it seems. (50 minutes: BBC2 1994: also broadcast by KCET Los Angeles in 1995)
- From a Different Shore
the story of the Japanese-Americans of California, their internment during World War II, and their continuing struggle to be accepted as truly American. (50 minutes: BBC2 1994)
