JOHN WALTON
Passionate about media production.
I remember way back when I was in secondary school, in a year nine assembly to help us decide what to study at GCSE, when a video of a bearded man began to play on the overhead projector, talking about the wonderful world of media studies. This man's name was Mark Warner, and he is to be thanked for first introducing me to a career in the media.
So, enjoy your visit to this site; you can find my filmography and some selected photographs in the tabs above.

EVERYDAY LIFE: LIVE - NEWS
In September 2012, I - along with Nicholas Wright, Rebecca Smith, Joshua Warner, Robert Cross and Elizabeth Holliday - will be taking part in an independantly organised charity musical; Everyday Life: Live.
A rom-com-musical, for big boys and girls due to language and innuendo, Everyday Life: Live is a stage adaptation of a long-running web series written by myself and Richard Betts, who sadly passed away in April 2009. As such, all proceeds from the play go to charity, in his name.
NEWS:
The script has been completed and approved, the cast has been ... well, cast! In all, pre production of Everyday Life: Live is finished. Rehearsals are due to begin in January.

My latest project is actually my technical piece, or my practical dissertation, which takes the form of a documentary about a Leicestershire plesiosaur tentatively called rhomaelosaurus megacephalus, or the Barrow Kipper.
This documentary, titled 'The Barrow Kipper: Legacy of a Monster', looks not only at the animal itself, but at the effect its discovery has had upon the village from whence it earned its nickname. It has already received a lot of support from my project supervisor and - a little more excitingly - from the New Walk museum itself, which houses the original fossil of the kipper!
As can be seen from the screenshot of the current edit, I was able to procure an interview with the museum's curator, and plesiosaur expert, Mark Evans; allowing me to ask some serious questions regarding the animal around which the project is based. Also, depending on the context of the finished piece, the museum may be interested in using the film on their website and YouTube page.
Keep an eye out for the finished product at the end of March 2012, and learn more about the rich history of Leicestershire at the New Walk museum!
Recently I worked with Dipak Parmer on the Community Sport documentary for the Square Mile project in Leicester. Dipak is keen to improve the health and fitness of the elderly community - a group he feels is marginalised in the gyms of Leicester. You can see the finished documentary, including interviews with Dipak, in early April 2012.
