REBRAND! The time had come to get around to rebranding and here it is! Play North is the new name for all my freelance activities: filming, aerials, editing & motion graphics.

I'm really passionate about 2D motion graphics. Here's the first of my 'opposites' projects

In 1935 radar was invented by the physicist Sir Robert Watson-Watt & co. Here's one take on a GUI for it.

Snowboarding. I love it. Droning. Love that too. When I can, I combine the two. I was lucky enough go to Leysin in Switzerland twice this year and took the opportunity to capture some beautiful alpine landscapes.

Finally got around to making up a motion graphics showreel! And here it is. It showcases just some of the work I've been doing over the last couple of years. Motion graphics / animation is an area in which I'm developing a wider skill-set, and more clients. Have a look and if you'd like some motion graphics / 2d animation for your project then I'm always open to new projects and ideas.

I was out filming at Abbotsford House, the home of Sir Walter Scott, recently in relation to an online course about the Jacobites I was filming in conjunction with the University of Edinburgh and National Museums Scotland.
