Fasion Show

KK so me and will got some work filming a fashion show for Baa Bar. It was an experience but really hectic...

We went there a week in advance to see the venue and get some ideas, one the night (a week later) all was going to plan until WIll realised that we were running out of memorey, fast! so after 10 mins, £10, awkward taxi convo and me catching a cold we had more memory.

Other than that all went well and hope you enjoy...

Fashion Show rehearsal edit

So we went to the rehearsal fashion show on Wednesday, I got a parking ticket which I'm not happy about. However it was a real eye opener! There were so many idea going about and me and Will were just bouncing those ideas off each other.

Will went back to his because the videos were not working on my computer and just threw this together. I was listening to loads of tracks and found this song, "Battlefields" by Fenech-Soler. The song goes amazingly well with the video and the way we want it to turn out, So i gave it to Will and he added it.

BMX vid

Not really a big fan of BMX vids but as soon as this video started I couldnt take my eyes off it.

I think it goes on a bit but i really like the slomo they use and the lighting is amazing.

Fashion Show

So on Sunday my mate Will went to film the rundance event happening in Lace Market. He got talking to some people and got a gig filming a Fashion Show next week. He told them about me and got me involved.

So me and Will, are off to rehearsals for the Fashion show tomorrow. We got the equipment out and are trying to learn how to use the new Panasonic Camera before tomorrow. Ive been watching some fashion shows and taking notes because i have no idea what to expect.

But I will update on how it goes and hopefully will get some more stuff to do from this...

Have to give these guys some credit, not only a catchy song but what a video! Genius!

Back to uni and work experience

So the course has started again and im surprised at how many people are doing moving image! However they all seem to be good guys and hopefully good to work with this year.

After working a part time job and a bit of work experience I am looking forward to start learning again. Not that the job and work exp wasn't fulfilling but i guess i get a lot more out of this course now.

The work experience that i did was with a company called Raw Cut tv. This company produces Street Wars, Police Interceptors etc. I got the job because my dad knows the Boss as he was on the show a couple of years ago from being robbed. So i had one week planned to go and work for them.

I knew the jobs that id be doing; mainly making tea, washing up, cleaning, sorting etc and i was right! but while i was there i realised how much i could learn from the people working their, with actual experience of the industry under their belt. So i started talking to everyone there (it was a small company) and asked what uni they went to and how they got the job. By doing this, i got a lot of information on what to do in the future and what the industry expects. at first this made me panic as i found out that making tea is a big part of it! However with anything you want, you have to work hard at it and be persistent. After my week was done, i got a call from the Boss asking if i wanted more work, even though i had plans that week, i would have been a fool to turn it down. So i went in with the expectation of making tea for another week. But this week was different, some of the staff had gone to Glastonbury to film for Green Peace and they had a lot of footage that needed to be watched and sorted. This was really good as i got to see the fun side of what i could be doing in the future. The best part of the whole experience had to be the last day. One of the Assistant Editors (he was like my sensai) asked me to have a go editing some footage of a skate park that was made from recycled wood for green peace. He put me on a mac with final cut pro and taught me the basics. so i was on that for the whole day and what i made i was really happy with. My sensai came in to look at it and was shocked, a real confidence booster! Unfortunately i was unable to get the video off their system as it crashed and was my last day. But i will get it!
