Biography
Chris grew up in Manchester and followed an academic route, studying languages at Oxford. He left before the end of the course on realising that he wanted to study graphic design and experiment with cameras. He went on to do an Art Foundation course at Salford University where he had a fantastic time experimenting with all sorts of new and unfamiliar media and began to learn about film-making by making a short documentary about Blackpool. Only in his final year at college did Chris really concentrate on making moving image stuff. He entered the Kodak Student Commercial Awards with a test commercial for Niquitin CQ made with friends. It won the editing category and came second in the brief. As a result, they were invited to enter Kodak�s Promo Academy and won Best Video for the pixilated �Shake� by Pink Grease. Partizan saw one of Chris's Tom Vek videos online and immediately signed him up in autumn 2004. Since then it's been non-stop, with a constant flow of promos and a CAD Best New Director award in 2005. In the same year, he directed his first commercial campaign: the BBC Radio 1 'Chris Moyle' and 'Zane Lowe' stop frame spots for Fallon London. In 2006 he won Cfp/e Shots Best New Director in the Viral Section at Cannes for his Proxfade Viral ad and Best New Director at Kinsale for his Radio 1 and Proxfade spots. He also won 'Best Director' in the Commercials Direction category of Creative Futures 2006, their annual run down of the 'brightest talents in the coming generation of designers and creatives'. His on going campaign for cadbury creme egg continues to entertain us, on TV, on megatrons, Piccadilly Circus, on the underground and online with the latest of their suicidal antics being aired this January in anticipation of the film award season. |
