John's preferred projects involve working with forward thinking micro-businesses, SMEs and organisations in the North. Producing anything from simple low-cost 'profile videos' to painstakingly original creative films. He also happily does camerawork and postproduction for other small video/media companies who appreciate a good collaborative relationship.

I started freelancing as 'Lunar' in '96 after graduating in arts at Newcastle (where I was working with photography, video, Macs and formative pre-html2 websites). Since those pioneering early digital media days I've worked on almost every possible type of pixel-motion based project for clients from almost every sector, from sole-traders to national NGOs. At the core of those projects digital video, animation and interactivity have always been my focus.

As for the cream of my work; my film The POW screened at festivals in Moscow, Dublin, Bucharest and beyond winning awards including Best Cinematography and Viewers' Choice... and commercially a video for client B4RN has featured on BBC's 'The One Show', and a project for client BRF was shortlisted for a TV award and applauded by the BBC. However it's not all about prestige - I'm still happy working on the smallest and simplest of projects.

I live in the Lune Valley with my wife and son and have a particular passion for paragliding on the fells of the Lakes & Dales. I'm also heavily involved with Broadband for the Rural North Ltd (a local non-profit fibre provider).
