Phil Evans Video Showreel from Philip Evans on Vimeo.

I just released a new showreel, there it is right there! I’ve also assembled a select few video pieces I’ve worked on and with a bit of background info on each of them right here. I’ll be updating them with more work as the weeks go on..enjoy!

I am now finally down to the last box of Format Perspective books! No re-prints, so if you are looking to get your paws on a copy, now is the time! Last chance saloon!

The guys at the amazing Dublin-based creative festival OFFSET have inspired a whole bunch of radness all around the city with their Creative Project, the idea of which was to make Dublin a better place to be using an arty skill set and the inspiration taken from a previous OFFSET speaker.
I chose Kyle Cooper (maker of many epic movie intros) who’s quote “The more you give away the more you get back” really struck a chord with me..so I got together with the lads and we built a skatespot, that’s a good way to give yeah?

When the radical individuals from the band Blind Yackety asked me to do a music video and told me I could do whatever I wanted, I thought “dream brief”. Then I thought “wait, what do I do now??”

So after a few weeks of tea-fuelled stress filled procrastination I settled on an idea that would take me on a 3 month journey of solitary confinement stop motion photography, well, I had my camera and a few containers full of sticks and taxidermied bugs for company, so I guess I was never truly alone.

Really though, I was and am very grateful that the guys put full faith in me and let me do my thing. 11,229 still photographs later (5000+ of which had to be individually manipulated!) and you have the video you see below. This is easily the most technical thing I’ve worked on, but I won’t bore you with the technical details, yet.

Thanks for being a good sport and letting me turn you into a wooded imp creature Mackey!

I am quite shocked/stoked/excited to be part of the International Skate Film Festival’s GoPro competition, some of my favourite filmers who’ve made some of my favourite skate videos are in the mix so it feels a bit nuts! Should be fun though!! You can get more info on the ISFF’s site!
