My first and last focus is the power of an idea. Start with a big idea and greater things follow more naturally. When you have a truly spot-on, strategic and campaignable idea -it will seamlessly transcend any media or format and might even make its own new space. Everybody loves a big idea. Big ideas get talked about and remembered. After having a big idea, how it is art directed, written tonally, produced and executed becomes an easier decision. Creative work with a big idea behind it makes other productions look shallow or executional at best. New technology and trends come and go, but the power of a big idea always remains.

job
Creative Director and Brand Creative at Channel FIVE
Teasers, Promo-campaign, Print and Press.
The thought behind this posting was to strengthen the channel's brand, creativity and strategy. Improve creative presentation and mentorproducers into having clear ideas themselves ahead of going into FCP (thus growing the standard of creative while reducing time spent editing). Leading by example, it was also my welcomed duty to create, write and direct more campaignable promo's around each show (meaning a more branded series of spots that could share the same campaign thought/strapline and work across an On and Off Air multi-media platform). Hands-on in creating and then making idents, any general fillers and animation sequences. Also work at Five as a writer, film director and storyboard artist while being in charge of the department in the absence of the Executive Creative Director (Nol Davis).
Campaigns run:
Robson Green's Extreme Fishing (write and direct Channel ident, Teasers, Promo-campaign, Print and Press campaign), The Gadget Show -FIVE (write and direct Channel ident, Promo campaign and animated menu's, etc), CSI -FIVE (write and direct live action shot Promo campaign and individual episode introductions from the lead actor William Petersen) also write and direct numerous Christmas themed animation stings.
