Director Colin O'Toole Joins Chelsea's Roster

Chelsea welcomes visual effects and documentary director Colin O'Toole to our roster.  Known for his high concept special effects and unvarnished real-life moments, O'Toole has created insightful work for clients such as Nike, Playstation, Alfa Romeo, Adidas, and Reebok.

The diversity of O’Toole’s commercial work is mirrored by the diversity of his larger body of work. Deeply involved in the music world, O’Toole has shot a number of music videos, particularly for cult musician Ian Brown and Polydor Records.  His love of music also lead to the creation of Let Us Be Golden, O’Toole’s documentary hit at this year’s Edinburgh Film Festival.  Moving from film to television, O’Toole was also co-director on the recent BBC 4 series Drivetime, and he won a D&AD award in 2009 for his PSA “Pick It Up,” for the Home Office Anti-Knife Crime campaign.

Colin O'Toole directs superstar DJ Tiesto and Mark Knight's new video "Beautiful World"

Just in time for the weekend, we have an amazing new music video from Pulse@chelsea's Colin O'Toole, who has previously directed for artists including Ian Brown and Deadmau5. The project is for the infectious new dance single "Beautiful World" - listed as one of MTV UK's top playlist tracks - by DJ Tiesto and Mark Knight.  


Alongside the high-energy, uplifting music, O'Toole puts footage of the DAZL Diamond Peewee Boys, the world's first all male cheerleading squad hailing from south Leeds, England, and recently featured in the 'Wonderland' series on the BBC. The combination is unexpected and captivating, if we do say so ourselves - check out the clip above, and enjoy.
