a creative with no titles, but if you’re offering me a job, I’m a film & video director

Fish Fingers Spec Commercial

I made this a few weeks ago but couldn’t post it because it was for a competition and was still being judged. It was shortlisted for MOFILM’s January 2011 competition, but unfortunately didn’t win! Ah well!

It’s a commercial for Young’s Omega 3 Fish Fingers. Shot on a Canon 5d mk2 and audio recorded on a Zoom H4n, in about 6 hours. This was my first time working with children. The kids (obviously) aren’t actors, but both were amazing and cute.
Everybody involved did a great job. I’ve included their links so do check them out!

Starring:
Wendy MacLennan as Mum
Harvey Rhodes-Vaughan as Andy
Matilda Welsh as Kellie

DoP: Jim Dinsdale
AD: Josh Bower
Director: Me, Aqeel Ahmed

Big thank you to:
Howard Berry for all the help given, even though extremely busy!
The Khan family for letting me use their kitchen.
Andrew Ormes for helping at auditions.
