Dan James Boulton’s Self-Shooting Director Reel.
Hey, thanks for checking out this reel. The examples below show what I’m capable of producing on minimal budgets. All the work is self-shot: the Morrisons spot and the McCain spot I edited too.
McCain was briefed in as a online, pre-roll and social piece but was upgraded to TV because the client loved it so much. Also because of the nature of the piece it was made up of lots of high res stills and was used for digital, OOH and other static assets.
I strive to be as self-sufficient as possible as a director so will be my own DP or do my own online work if necessary to maintain high production values. While I’ve directed projects with much larger scales the type of work often produces a large volume of assets.

If you fancy a chuckle over your break stick on one of my shorts. GOOD GRIEF, Shadowboxer and El Vapo are all currently on the festival circuit with El Vapo screening at the BIFA qualifying, Manchester Film Festival. These films were shot with Zero budget. borrowing kit and are a testament to my resourcefulness I’d like to think.
