Opeth - tour trailer

I was asked to create a trailer for Opeth’s 30th Anniversary Tour “By Request”, which gives fans the opportunity to vote for tracks they want to hear from the band’s back catalogue.

I had to choose a track from each album, edit the 13 together with footage from various shows over the years, and top 'n' tail it with intro and dates outro, which I used as an opportunity to get more involved with After Effects.

Youth Rugby Team

This was a great, sunny day in the midlands (Northampton) and what better way to enjoy yourself than to go and watch the local rugby team go on the pitch and have a “field” day.

This was an excellent experience and I am very grateful to have been allowed to get content of the team and their preparation for their games.
