Hi all 😀.

It was my privilage and honour to produce a film recording of the ELSOM and Carte Blanche Charity Concert, which was held at The Royal College of Music, London on Sunday 19th May 2024.

The orchestra is a combination of both pro and amateur musicians of all ages featuring the East London School of Music Orchestra, The Community Orchestra Project made up of members from the local community (also includes members from BAME backgrounds), and the Hampstead Adventist Choral Society (HACS) Orchestra, whom I’ve worked with for 10 years.

This video’s duration is 2hrs 18mins, but I hope you enjoy it regardless of its length 😂

Enjoy! 😀🙏

This is a concept film based on a Bible reference - Mark 8:36:

“For what shall it profit a man,
if he shall gain the whole world,
but lose his soul?”

It was shot in various locations in Birmingham City Centre. Enjoy.

A behind-the-scenes video is included in the comments 😀.

Lately I've been experimenting with short "Vertical Videos", as the current trend is that most folks watch them on mobile phones.

Which one do you prefer? Here are 2 clips; one shot in the traditional "landscape" (widescreen) format, and the other in the "vertical format (see comment for the vertical clip):

BQCF 2024 Show Reel

And now for something a little epic!😀.

This “virtual choir” recording was produced during Covid-19. In collaboration between London Ghana SDA Church and BQCF, the goal was to create a series of these films for their Virtual Concert of Praise 2020.

London Ghana SDA Church Choir is a 50-strong choir plus their musicians, so these videos where more complex than the idea would suggest 😀.

When the concert went on it attracted a total of approximately 5K online visitors, with an online audience of 3K who tuned in on the night.

Here is an example of one of their songs from the event, enjoy! 😀
