Art

I was commissioned by the artist Rob Pepper to make a short film about his work in general – and more specifically about the making of his new work Geometric Shenzhen, a piece commissioned by the China Resource Group which he made for the opening of their new Headquarters in Shenzhen. A film like this is helped a lot when you can shoot in a beautiful garden & studio…

Willie Williams, long time lighting designer for U2, exhibited his light sculpture show ‘Lumia Domestica’ at the London gallery Wallspace, who commissioned this film.
It involved shooting an interview, beauty shots, exteriors, covering the opening event & graphic elements.
Quite a challenge to shoot in almost complete darkness!

Music

I was asked by Chris Grist of CMG Promotions/ZUM Records to shoot & edit a 70 minute piano recital by Warren Mailley-Smith at St Martin-in-the-Fields in Trafalgar Square. This is a 3 minute taster of the resulting DVD which went on sale. Interviews as ‘DVD extras’ were also shot with Warren.
Due to the restricted nature of the budget, a pretty impressive result was achieved using three fixed and one operated camera, with moves being put in during the edit.

Live recording: one take, no edits or sweetening (just a little compression).

Yes, it was me singing a delusionally triumphant yet doomed ditty, walking down a corridor of the World Cup greats, blinking into oblivion as the half-hearted incompetents in the England team crashed out of the 2010 competition in South Africa.
It’s trickier than you think to stay on a green screen treadmill for 4 minutes with no handrail worrying about the focus, composition of the shot and the expression on your face!
Challenging to put this one together – mucho mucho graphics.
Words/music: Crispin Holland. Producer Michael Wolff.

Andy Harrison again, writer and actor taking the mick out of George ‘Dubya’ Bush, who with the state of the world today we all look back on with nostalgia – he was a leader, a statesman, an intellectual giant…

About me

My name is Crispin Holland and I’m a film-maker/editor.

As a film-maker, I am seeking projects which are intelligent, imaginative, artistic – perhaps funny, true or just downright fictitious… but I’m more than happy to do smart and functional too.

I’ve worked in UK broadcast television for over 20 years, mainly as an editor, with numerous credits across multiple genres for all the major channels: BBC, ITV, C4, C5, Discovery, Sky and more.

I’m also a musician. You can find some of my work at:
