Biography: “I set up moving image boutique, FELT, in 1998 getting known for a combination of photography, motion graphics and live action. An early commission was a series of animated end devices for Nissan TV spots (TBWA). This led to Felt's first live action TV commercial, again for Nissan, which was featured in Shots' New Directors section and won a Creative Circle award.
“Nowdays I am a Director/Film maker. I have worked in LA, London, Paris, Berlin, USA and Asia. I'd5ve had work in festivals as well as in Shots, Boards, Print and Graphics International magazines. I have been featureded in several books - particularly a whole chapter in onedotzero's lavish book Motion Blur.
“My most recent commercial was for cinema - "Homecoming" - for the charity The refugee Council.
“My film 'd2Underdog'd3 has aired on TV in Japan and Italy and was most recently on The Sundance Channel in the US.
“I've recently directed, shot and finished 2 films commissioned from Johnny Depp'd5s new production company and is now in development to expand the project for them to air on HBO.
“I use composition and visual style and add depth and layered elements. I shoot and cut a large proportion of my work and am very interested in the sound element - a film is nothing without one - and engaging with the post production process.”

Statement: “I must admit to being a bit anti-fashion because "her-indoors" is quite involved and it can get a bit "24/7" round our house! I've tried to perhaps enhance the darker side by speed changing all footage to run concurrently as multi-screens. Sort of feels like a nightmare and have spent time to manipulate the music accordingly - speed changed, looped and reversed. To me this sits comfortably with Galliano's freakish themes. Wish I'd had more time to experiment with the layering - every 15 seconds a layer fades away into the background but perhaps this could have worked more successfully - there's also an underlying change of audio theme for each of these segments - this should have come across more clearly perhaps. Whatever - I do like that all these submissions are part of a living experiment and so there seems less urgency to perfect everything to the extent required in the big bad commercial world!”
