Happy House of Horror TV Commercial
for Virgin TV and Liberty Global

 
 

It all started when...

Virgin TV/ Liberty Global wanted to make a TV commercial for their new Halloween film season that was happening in 7 European territories. 

Filmed in an old victorian detention centre in Clerkenwell with a superb cast featuring Malik Ibheis as the creature, and Alex Critoph as the damsel.  The Special FX Make-up of our Zombie Butcher was created by the awesome Millenium FX.

The Production had a cast and crew of 40, was filmed on the Arri Alexa, and 72 seperate versions of 6 films were delivered 6 days after the shoot.

This project was a lot of fun!!

 

STIHL TV Commercial

 
 

It all started when...

Jonathan Stow was commissioned to make STIHL's first UK TV commercial.  Stihl wanted to show a real person using one of their new products in a real life situation.  What better than to film the UK's top female ice sculptor - Anne-Marie Taberdo in her ice studio where she works at temperatures as low as -8 degrees Celcius.  

Anne-Marie is one of the UK's top Ice sculptor's regularly competing in the World Ice Sculpting Championships and she uses Stihl Chainsaws extensively in her practice and she was a pleasure to work with on the TV commercial.  

After the Commercial was cut, it was handed over to the awesomely talented composer Sophie Cotton to score.  Sophie added a real touch of magic and created a beautifully epic score that complemented the visuals to create a truly beautiful TV commercial that was aired on prime time (7- 7:30pm) Channel 4 in the UK.  

Directed and Produced by Jonathan Stow
