The challenge: to get 49 microwave ovens to play Jingle Bells. Still one of my favourite projects...

How did we do it? Some of the 1.4 million YouTube viewers thought they knew - who would have thought there were so many Microwave Oven experts in the world!.

It's match day and our hero, shod in the latest Umbro Velocita boots, decides to go for glory. This fantasy film features state of the art (sic), homemade VFX...the challenge to the Director, Ben Jones and the Post House being to make the effects looks sufficiently homemade...

Shot on location in Barcelona, the Post Production was handled by Cherry Cherry in London.

Stacie Pridden was, at the time of making this film, waiting for a heart transplant. She'd been on the waiting list for 3 years. The campaign was designed simply to encourage people to sign up to be an Organ Donor. The film's purpose was to drive traffic to the campaign website where the visitor could send someone a Valentine's Day card, for free, if they enrolled as an Organ Donor.

Stacey was eventually given a double transplant (heart & lungs).

The film won a Silver at the 2016 Creative Circle Awards for Best Digital-LED Campaign.

And so the call came late on a Friday night: George is playing in Paris on Sunday night and he'd like it filmed. It's going to be very special. Can you sort it out?

After a few hours sleep and long conversations with willing Parisians, Director Andy Morahan and I were travelling to Paris on the Eurostar to scout the Palais Garnier with a view to filming it the following night. Huge thanks to Ben Toulemonde for his amazing help in putting this together.

Most memorable, for me, because it's the only job I've produced where I was unable to actually attend the shoot. I had a reasonable excuse I think; I was in hospital while my daughter, Ella, was being born.

Cher had all her glam team over from LA, 1st Class flights and limos...but when she arrived she spotted one of the extras wearing some plastic in their hair, so got him to do the same for her.

We had 5th wheel trailers and the red carpet was rolled out...but she quite happily went up onto the roof of the ELC Studios in a scissor lift at midnight in the p*****g rain. Respect.
