Imagine walking through a beautiful ancient oak forest, stopping along the way to view the saplings poking through the grass as well as the strong healthy trees and some that didn't make it through the storms.

Battle of the Flowers
2:08
The camera slowly pans down through the undergrowth to a bare patch of ground,
The Timelapse starts and we see fronds spread over the bare earth towards the centre of the the pace
Then a moment of Calm
They the second wave picks up as different plants try and dominate the space pushing each other down and entwining themselves around each other in a shivery shaky battle.
The camera pulls pack to see the landscape covered in beautiful flowers.

We gently float looking down at the reef just below the surface then we take a dive and are amongst the myriad types of life living on the reek, all different , all beautiful, all busy living their lives.

I wanted to write an African piece but not do the obvious, marimba/Lion king. This coupled with the need to reach a younger audience meant I decided to go Hip Hip style. There is a choir in Cardiff called the oasis choir made up of Asylum Seekers and refugees. So Laura who runs the choir picked out Paul from Uganda, Faith from Kenya and Lle Lle from South Africa. We spent an afternoon translating some lyrics I'd written into their languages then we workshopped different parts and ideas. If you listen to this track with your 'blue chip' hat on you'll hate it. If you think about modern film making involving a younger audience trying to inspire the future generations of filmmakers and conservationists then we're on the same page. Anyhow, I hope you get up and dance. xx
We are deep below the surface in the coldest, Blackest, Sea, this isn't one of those cues that points out the cute animals glowing with bioluminescence dancing by, it's more the marvel at how deep we are .

City of the Army Ants
2:14
When a creature has six legs, eyes on stalks and can squirt acid from its bum why use a flute? We tried to create the dark mysterious world of the ant.
