In Iridium he uses Salt's best time-lapse sequences to create a strangely meditative, almost hypnotic, poetic video short.

The area's four ski patrollers explain their light-touch approach and their passion for protecting this one-of-a-kind ski experience.

Uncommon Ideals is part of a project to document surfing on the North Sea - as far from the traditional ideal as you can get with its cold, grey, windy waves and murky brown water. Set to a poem by Dan Crockett, this beautiful short was shot to raise funds and exposure for film-maker Chris McLean's dream of making a feature length version.
