History
He began his media career by making short films at University. His award winning short films were used as 'calling cards' to get a 'foot in the dorr' with the video production company Factor Films. He then went on to begin shooting three very low budget music video's costing around £5000 each.
Work of Thraves
Thraves two most proud achievements come are the video's for the song Just by the Radio Heads, and then the song The Scientist - Cold Play

Cold Play - 'The scientist'
Like the Radiohead song it was shot in just three days but this video had a budget of £200,000

Jamie used these videos to establish himself in the video production business and he used these to help take him into the film industry. He shot three films
- The Low down
- The cry of the Owl
- Treacle Jr.
In todays climate the average music video costs around £20,000 and the average shooting time is around 2 days.
Tips
Jamie's top tips for music video's are
- use the LYRICS of the song but do not be too literal, i.e don't act out every word
- Go with the EMOTION of the LRYICS
