last sunday i filmed for a music video for noodlez and krazy out of bristol. here are a couple of screen grabs from the video that will be online from monday 14th june 2010
a day in bristol in burning sun turned into an evening at clifton bridge in pouring rain but we got what we wanted even if the last thing was in a smokey tunnel after finding a random fire that kind of smoked us out.
well, i have finished the fashion video and have it set up on a projector at Sion Hill ready for the Bath School of Art and Design MA students marking (which should have happened last night) and for the private and public viewings starting next wednsday.
after a summer of the odd week where i would get to follow some models around as they walked through gardens and did as i told them the video came to fruition. i think i did four or five edits before Jan Knibbs was happy with the short film.
it shows the models wearing some dresses that she designed like the summer dress or the winter dress
if you get a chance to go along to the show during the open viewing session they start at 10am and run till 5pm from thursday 1 to saturday 4 oct and on sunday 5 oct it runs from 10am-pm. get along and look at some of the ideas that may well be in our everyday lives soon, like a compact full size stand up dyson ball.
ill post the videos on youtube next week so if you cant wait get to the show and view the video and all the MA students hard work. peas
we went to the BVE expo last week and i had a good look around. i felt kind of like a kid in a toy store, anything that remotely interested me i looked at or asked questions about if i could get a word with one of the stand minders. i got the most photos of the 3d HD camera rig company, and having tried making a rig before to film in 3d it didnt work found it quite interesting. now this company originally only did 3d film and graphics work but after being plagued by customers about where they could buy a rig for filming in 3d decided to start producing their own. im not too sure where 3d stands in the future of broadcast really though. i mean who owns a 3d tv at the moment and how many are they? the popularity of 3d films may be making a come back in a small way but to translate that kind of scale into your average consumers home with their 37"(nowadays maybe a bit more) TV will take a bit more advancement in the technology from what i can gather.
No this isnt a plea to you to join the religious fanatics waging war around the world but more a quick review of a programme i came across. Now this programme is nuts, i would call it a reason for the abolition of public access television in the states. normally i would not watch this tosh and discard it as religious propaganda, but having watched a few clips of the show and realising that this has more than your usual US televangelistic bull about it. The presenter who runs the show really seems to get into his character, albeit which ever puppets rear he has shoved his hand up. I dont know if this is still running in the states though so who knows how relative this really is.
Now onto something more serious, i dont know how many people in our class have been keeping an eye on the industry and how it is running at the moment but a lot of television production companies are facing a bleak year or two ahead. Now some people may be worried, some may not care. i personally came only say that the one thing we can do is to go ahead and get our degrees, as hopefully this 'blight' will reduce the amount of crap telly on the air and bring back proper television shows. Come the end of this 'wave of destruction' that we are facing, not only inside our projected job field but also across all other business and commercial sectors we will probably be facing a lack of skilled individuals as people already doing the work we hope to get when leaving uni may well have moved onto pastures anew and there may well be the gaps that we need for us to do what we want. (this was inspired by an article in the Media Guardian and Charlie Brookers Screen Wipe, both from some time before christmas, Happy New Year)
