National Geographic Explorer/Correspondent & Filmmaker
As a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and an environmentally focused interactive explorer, I’ve never been one to climb mountains for no reason… To me, the challenge of exploration in the 21st Century is an urgent one.

It’s fair to say that there’s been a few adventures along the way. Runningman was the start and a beautiful proof of concept but there are many more; From Tribal encounters in the Amazon through to tracking down cocaine barons in Bolivia with the DEA. From secret forays in Saudi Arabia, Sea Gypsies in… Continue reading “EXPEDITION FILM MAKING: ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES”

Working with 3DNA’s Peter Pritchard and modifying emerging technologies to suit, I developed an extraordinary virtual world around the concept of cause-based ‘coded’ expeditions. Designed to Engage, Inform & Inspire the platforms linked to mobile networks, empowering users to take action on issues and support causes revealed through the journeys.
This concept has evolved dramatically since its inception back in 2005, Have a look at some of the deeper details in the links or for more information just give us a call.
The systems have enormous, as yet, unrealised potential. Have a look at the simple walkthrough video below. Please excuse the quality it was encoded 16 years ago… so understandably its low res.
If you are interested in these concepts and frameworks or are looking to create engaging collaborative adventure programing with educational values… give me a call... this is just the stuff from way back.
