Scotland from Home & Schweppes Gold


Priest were extremely proud to be part of the Scotland from Home campaign that won Gold at the Loeries last year. The episodic journey was shot in Scotland for The Jupiter Drawing Room CPT, directed by Jason Xenopolous from 2.0 Media and edited by Eugenie. It was finished in HD at Choirboy using Color and After Effects.

Luke recently cut a Schweppes Gold commercial for Ian Gabriel and Ogilvy CPT for Egypt and Nigeria shot on 35mm that portrays how one can Create Your Moment with Schweppes.

Spoek Mathambo / Control

Richard has just finished editing a music video for the artist Spoek Mathambo directed by Pieter Hugo and Michael Cleary.
 The song is a redo of the legendary Joy Division track Control.
 Shot over two days on 2 x 5D and a 7D, this is a viral video for the artist that will most likely not be flighted on TV. It portrays the artist as a township street preacher who interacts with some children who are undergoing some rather strange rituals, and has a distinctive visual style. See it here on the Dazed & Confused magazine site.

Welcome to the new and exciting Priest blog!

Welcome to our new & exciting blog, where Priest & ChoirBoy will be sharing our latest news & info about important things, chatter & gossip about less important but nonetheless interesting stuff, as well as witty & amusing banter about anything or nothing in particular... :)

As you may know by now both Richard Starkey and Michelle Barrow joined us last year as Senior Editor and Head Producer respectively. This has put us in an excellent position as Richard, apart from being one of the country’s top editors, has a wealth of knowledge as far as digital formats are concerned — which is an area of Post production that we are interested in developing.

In order to expand our finishing capabilities we have affiliated ourselves with Grant Aerts aka The Monk who will be operating Smoke on a top of the range Mac from within the Priest crypt — contact Cal Kingwill or Michelle Barrow for bookings.

Other than that we love your work and still make mind bogglingly good toasted sandwiches!

Richard & George discuss the Dark Side of post production...

Michelle & Ridley ponder the meaning of life and yet another brief...
