"The 40 Artists 40 Days Tate project was a really original and invigorating idea that captured the public's imagination in the run up to our bid to host the Olympic Games 2012. It was very important to find some way of embedding culture into the story in a high profile way, and I really felt that his project captured that in a way that got a wide public acclaim."

Jude Kelly OBE, Artistic Director, Southbank Centre

"He offers a refreshing insight into what's achievable within the realm of music-video production, informed in turn by his creative practice as a visual artist. It is this cross-over between his strong production values and a solid creative viewpoint that makes Chris's work stand out and it is always a pleasure to see how his work develops with each new project."

Mark Thomas, Creative Director, Soup Collective

"The video work he produced demonstrated his unceasing ability to experiment and invent the technical means to achieve his goal. - Chris is extremely industrious, highly committed and constantly experimenting. -  His great love for technology mixed with his sensitive approach to finding opportunities to develop and his strong aesthetic understanding must rate him as one of the strongest, naturally talented and inventive students we have had on the course."
