It’s all about the story.

I love making these five minute videos. I love the filming process, the editing and the audio but most of all it’s about the story.

I knew Howard Heerey had a great story to tell about his time in British motor racing in the 60’s and 70’s, but I didn’t know what to expect when he asked to meet me at a pottery workshop.

It turned out that these days Howard spends most of his time at the workshop as the kiln manager and enjoys the artistic side of clay work. But it also turned out that there are some great similarities between pottery and car design, something that was once a part of Howard’s motor racing experience.

I loved making this video and watching the way the concept of form, shape and finish brought together what most people would think are vastly different disciplines: Motor racing and pottery. And for that, I say, thankyou Howard Heerey.
