RIGHT: In Drive Through Disaster, Leo films the grand opening of Chef Tatties’ drive-in café, which doesn't quite go according to plan. I chose to stage much of the action through Leo's camera phone, adding extra visual suspense through the unfolding drama.
RIGHT: In Muck the Elf, a gust of wind unleashes a domino destruction of Bob’s Christmas display. A great opportunity to add visual comedy, I included a homage to Buster Keaton’s falling house facade, replacing Buster Keaton with Wendy! Rather than staging in multiple shots, I used a panning shot to place the audience amidst the action to show the escalating damage to their Winter Wonderland before moving into tighter dramatic shots.
BELOW: Research always plays an important part in any project. For Bob the Builder, I made a site visit to a building site to understand more about working methods. Watching builders working together influenced my staging of build scenes and visualising the series learning principle: ‘working together to get the job done’.
