Excited to share the video captured during the Earth Sciences field trip to Italy, for the University of Plymouth.

The 5 day trip took place over two key locations - the surroundings of Pompeii and Campo Felice in the Appenines, where students learned about volcanology and seismology respectively.

It was a really exciting trip to be on and I'm so glad I was able to capture some of the beautiful scenery.

Check out the field trip highlights video below:

Really proud to see that one of the recent videos I've worked on has gone 'viral'!

A short educational video promoting a research story - a scientist at the University of Plymouth has been blending smartphones and chemically analysing the results to determine the raw materials used and their quantities.

Issued as part of a press release, the video has been picked up by news outlets such as the BBC, 5 News, ITV News and many more. It's also been chosen to be a Twitter Moment, which is a collection of the hottest topics of the day on Twitter. The video's been viewed well over 100,000 times across multiple channels already!

You can watch the video below:
