Charlie Young

For this Ryan Gosling stunt we did a small shoot based around the results of some research we'd conducted in the office. Namely, that every woman, pretty much everywhere, wants a big, naked piece of RyGos. It got 4 Promax nominations…. which was nice.

We shot this 20" Ident for the TV1000 Action movie channel in the desert outside LA. Very cinematic, on the dark side but beautifully simple. We shot six Idents in all, in three days, and scooped a silver at Promax UK, only losing out to those really bloody good Film 4 ones!

I produced this simple clip based spot for a special month promoting some old-ish comedy movies  on TV1000.  Adam Longworth rattled out a couple of trade mark voices and even managed to launch into a bit of singing - all in 45 seconds. Top man!

This Daily Show spot won a Gold Promax for Best Copy at Promax UK.  Luckily for us nobody noticed that Justin Bieber is actually Canadian and not American. Ooops! A sizeable ball drop.

This is a 30" Ident shot for the TV1000 Kino channel in Russia. It was part of a group of 6 Idents that were shot for 3 Russian movie channels, scooping a silver at Promax for Best Idents. A classic comedy moment. Del Boy would have been proud!  

This spot was for a season of war movies to commemorate VE Day in Russia. A war veteran opens a box of memorabilia, reminding him of his war years. His memories are, in turn, scenes from the movies. We did a small and very cheap shoot in Latvia to commemorate the day while at the same time managing to sensitively promote the content. It won a Bronze for Best Foreign Promo at Promax UK.  

For yet another new series of Two & A Half Men, we decided to go all out silly. Michael Bolton starred and what better way to celebrate that than with a song by Stefan Ashton Frank.

What better way to introduce your British Comedy strand than with a fat, boorish skinhead. It generated a fair few complaints at Comedy Central at the time but, as Oscar Wilde once said, the only thing worse than being talked about... is not being talked about! (or something like that) A co-production with Mr Michael 'Egyptian Mike' Yanny.

What an evening to forget. You get lost in the middle of nowhere, have to check into some ghastly motel and then the owners spend the night trying to kill you. Rather Kate Beckinsale than me.

For this 30 Rock promo we decided to lampoon the much maligned 'record scratch' as a device to jump from one section of a promo to another. The challenge was to see how many record scratches we could use in 45". The result - loads! 

A cool graphics based spot for a month of stand up comedy on Paramount Comedy. A combination of stills, moving footage and nice editing from Andy Linton. 

This is a 30" Ident we produced for TV1000 Action. A really nicely shot car chase that pays homage to Steven Spielberg's Duel.  Directed by Richard Tindall.

Apparently, Tuesdays are officially the worst day of the week. It must be true because we made a promo saying it was!  We took a bronze for Best Stunt at Promax UK. 

For a summer of stand up on Comedy Central we produced one of these funny 'dubbing-over old footage' every day of the week for 2 months. Yes, that's right...every...single.....day.  Alright, the rest were only 20" long but it was still knackering.  This one was the opening 60" generic. 

A silly film merits a silly promo. Adam Longworth earns his money on this one! Excuse the low quality picture, it's all i could get my hands on.

The idea for this spot for Comedy Central's new HD service was that our HD was soooo crisp and clear you could even see stuff in the picture that wasn't really there! Lovely job on the comping in of the funny stuff from Piers at Creative Nuts. He even hand painted and cast the gnome himself! A genius.

A fun Kung Fu Panda spot for Dreamworks 

A sort of anti-Scrubs promo. We thought a funny way to sell the show would be to highlight all the dullest bits for a change. Luckily, there were plenty of shots in the episodes of people looking incredibly bored. 

Everything about this Brand new Scrubs promo is new, new, new! I scooped a silver at Promax UK for Best Entertainment Promo for this effort.

This was a shoot we did in Bournemouth for a season of Live Comedy on Comedy Central. It didn't rain and we managed to get a cow involved. Good times.

Myself and Barunka O'Shaughnessy wrote Continuity links for comedy legend Phill Jupitus many moons ago for which we won a Gold Promax. The voiceover sessions were legendary. Good times!

A weekend promoting all things Two & A Half Men and Charlie Sheen. Kennie Andrews provided the vocal bit.
