Flower Power!

Just a bit of messing around in Photoshop - I thought it was pretty funky! 




Surrealism

These are some of the outcomes from a shoot I did in chantry park - the theme was Surrealism! 
I thought this theme was actually quite hard because to get some of the best outcomes, I had to really plan in advance about the different kinds of shots that should go together. But I really like some of these outcomes!













Journey Home...







Chess


This was the first short video I made with a group at college -  my main thing in this project was probably the editing (I had to do the acting -_- So i didn't get to do much of the filming - but the spider you see crawling across my face.... Yeah - that was my spontaneous camera work)

I love doing spontaneous camera work! You can get some of your best footage that way!

Apologies

Its not like I have an audience following me (good thing i dont too cause i'd be awful at keeping this updated!)
But with college and everything else i commited myself too recently, there hasn't been a lot of time for youtube or blogging! :(
BUT I have been doing photgraphy and film stuff in the mean time!

  • Ive started a documentary project for photography which is about documenting mental health and the effects it has on the people suffering as well as peoples families
  • Ive applied for university! O_O
  • Ive started a music video
  • Ive started a short film
  • Ive started another short film
  • and another...

Thats just the stuff from the top of my head - there is more!
I've finished the video 'The truth behind procrastination' (a long time ago) Just need to upload and compress it!

Its also my 18th birthday this weekend!!! Woop Woop!! (-_-)
Seriously though, i cant wait! Weekend in London - so i expect i'll make a video from that!

I really want to start doing youtube videos and vlog and stuff, but right now I just dont have the balls! : /

Wedding Video

So. I've been spending the last few weeks editing all kinds of film footage!
I got that volunteering role at CVS and its excellent!! Im editing loads of footage and getting all kind of experience - not to mention all the people are lovely! :D

BUT the main thing thats been keeping me away is the making of a wedding DVD for my cousins wedding...

So - editing four hours of footage down to about 12 minutes... WOW I gotta say it took a while... a few hours... days ... okay weeks!
BUT IT WAS SO WORTH IT!!
I dont know what it is about editing - its like you've just finished putting together a massive jigsaw puzzle - but its harder because you haven't got a picture to go by.
I gotta say, the amount of time i spent color correcting (every clip), but like i said i loved it.

Im sure theres like a science to putting clips of film of photos to music to make them seem more epic and dramatic - you can send so many different messages depending on when the image comes in at different lengths of the song - or the chorus.

But today, i took round the final DVD draft to Gemma and Dan (Groom and Bride) and i was relieved to see they loved it!! <3
And seeing it on the TV gave me chills :D And it stretched to the screen well, the saturation hadn't changed... everything just went so well :P

Im currently working on editing "The truth behind procrastination"
And i cant wait to put it on youtube - i also have another video idea where i basically act out your usual day out with my dad :S Which is always tragic at the time but looking back you cant do anything but laugh...
