    IAG Cargo – Tokyo

    IAG Cargo - Ishizuka Shinichi by John Harding

    IAG Cargo was the official logistics partner of the Citi exhibition MANGA at the British Museum in 2019. Shots of the neon-drenched rain slick streets of Tokyo blend with an interview with manga artist Ishizuka Shinichi (Blue Giant Supreme). I travelled to Japan with one other camera operator to shoot and edit this for Social Films.

    The language barrier was a particular challenge; not only ensuring we had the right take when recording, but also building the interview within the edit, which required a translator to sit in and advise me. Along with the main interview, we also created a 30 second teaser, using thousands of photos taken using hyperlapse techniques around Tokyo’s famous landmarks. The result is a punchy whirlwind that grabs attention.

    This was a low budget music video shot in an afternoon in Peckham. The band wanted something a little psychedelic and a little different. We came up with a series of psychedelic visuals that would be projected onto the band as they play – it really suited their style and personality.

    This is a film I edited, and operated on, for The School of Life, a short youtube campaign to convince Jamie Oliver to participate in Philosophy. It was filmed at Holborn studios by FoodTube.
