elmysterioso

El Mysterioso
In the words of their own web-site; “we can do anything”. In the words of the boss, Angus; “We love the fun”. To be found in their natural habitat of Hoxton, these guys were responsible for this web site, and much, much more.






Huw DaviesHuw Davies – Graphics Genius

Huw, known inspiringly as “gingerhuw” to his friends (its also his website address) can draw anything, and animate it too. He was responsible for the Top Trumps opening title sequence for five last year. We love Huw. He is Welsh.




Julia King

Julia King – Artist, Sculptor, Cake Maker

Julia is just as Julia’s description says, with extra added lovliness. Julia’s artistic and graphic design skills are highly regarded so if we need artwork prepared, its Julia and her photoshop wizardry we turn to. Also, when we need cake.




Justin Kelly

Justin Kelly is his name

Justin is factual TV’s very own action man. In the name of documentary and entertainment, he’s been all at sea for Trawlermen and climbed into volcanos for the BBC’s Hottest Place on Earth. I have it on good authority that if you touch the lever on the back of his head, his eyes swivel.




Sally Hall

Sally Hall – Unit Manager

Sally does amazing things with money. Like stretching it so far its is practically knicker elastic. I think that’s where she keep the banknotes too.





Tom CurryTom Currie – Shooting AP/Director.

He shoots. he scores.





Dan de Castro

Dan de castro – DOP, camera operator.

If it has wheels and you want it shot beautifully, Dan’s your man. He is down with Jezza and Quentin, know what I mean?






Ashley SamwaysAshley Samways – Editor.

Possibly the fastest editor in the west. Definitely the funniest. Chop chop chop giggle chop.






Flick Crawford

Flick Crawford – Production Manager.

Wizard with cash and keeping productions cheerful. Always smiles under stress.




Helen Rushton

Helen Rushton (aka Tazzie)

Helen is an excellent stills photographer and trainer and specialises in stunning underwater photography which can be seen on her website See Life Thru a Lens. She also shoots extremely cute babies underwater.
