video series -
​the british council's five gentlemen


This was a series of videos called '"The Five Gentlemen” which I featured in and was meant to point out the funny side of English pronunciation, connected with popular culture. It was all recorded in one day in a studio, and was my introduction to the green screen effect.

Case notes - "A Polish film directed by Jakub Charon.
​ My voice is used to overdub a British guy in a nightclub. I do the voice-over between the 7th and 8th minute of the film. Available now on Polish Netflix. Warning: my part has lots of swearing! Here is a link to the page on imdb about the film​

​Case briefing - swear so hard and as much as you like!

move guides

I wrote 3 guides for MOVE Guides - two for Warsaw (one was the updated version) and one for Wroclaw. The guides were used by people relocating to the cities and had all relevant and useful information needed for new city dwellers and were published on their website.
