Five Minutes Of Heaven






One take. We waited for the exact right moment at magic hour and torched the car. In the picture Diarmuid Noyes, Conor Mac Neill, Mark Davis and Mathew McElhinney. Super 16 with a 16mm lens I believe.







Brian Molko of Placebo - Bright Lights







We shot with some scaffolding which we wrapped a load of strings of 100 watt bulbs around. Brian had a big soft light over his head and was very good at playing into the light. We streaked the lights in post. What looked shambolic on the day (we had the producer asking us were we sure it would work) turned out like this.

Domhnall Gleeson in Corduroy








This scene was supposed to be shot outdoors at night but a huge storm drove us indoors. I think the scene actually wound up working better than it may have if we had shot it the way we originally planned to.
