FELIX'S MACHINES
An intriguing, music-driven documentary, which observes the orchestrations of a fantastical robotic musical machine, which was created by the inventor Felix Thorn in his bedroom. I found Felix's Machines on You Tube some time around Christmas last year. His machines were amazing, but I thought the way in which he had captured them didn't do justice to what they deserve. I got in contact with Felix and a collaboration was born, the result was this. Massive thanks to Felix Thorn, Tom Swindell and Chris Barnett for getting involved.

Also special thanks to Ben Platts who helped me film the final city shots in the video. I am looking to make more videos for people and have lots more ideas, so if you like my stuff, get in contact at www.tommansfield.co.uk Thanks

Ed Williams in the bluebell woods
I was introduced to Ed in a local pub, when I said to some friends that I wanted to test out my new camera crane, (Jib) and I had a location in mind. After juggling between our availability's and the weather, we decided to just go for it before the bluebells disappeared altogether. This was the result. I think it turned out very well, despite the weather closing in on us with rain! Thanks Ed, this was a good little collaboration. Shot and directed by: Tom Mansfield Preformed by : Ed Williams

His talents have also been eagerly sought out by Baby J, who featured K*Ners on "Fix The Problem (FTP The Mixtape Pt2)" in 2008 and more recently this year UK hip hop legend Skitz called opon K*Ners to feature on the remix for "Rebel Stand" with D.Gritty for the critically acclaimed "Sticsman" album.
