Summer Ball prep

Throughout the year I work for Student Swansea Events, making short (1 minute 30 seconds) long promotional films. Most of these are based in the clubs. Now, it's time for the annual Swansea Students Summer Ball 2012. It's still a week left, but I'm busy planning this. I'm in charge of getting crew to come along and film it. So far I've managed to get two people and hoping for one more. Our job is to film the whole event and edit out a film,...

IGNITE Show done

This show went great, amazing performers (considering they are all doing this as a hobby)! The shoot went OK.

I sat down with Derek and asked him about his thoughts and how long it normally...

We all have similar work ethics and standards, but at the same time can bring individual strengths to the project. At an early stage we sat down and brainstormed on ideas. We said that we should present some ideas on the table and take it from there. All of us fell in love with Johan’s idea straight away. It was good, had a twist and seemed like a good challenge. We set about dividing roles: Director...

Videographer for Skeive Dager (Oslo Pride days)

Summer is coming up and I'm starting to look at any work experience I can get during the summer. I've got in touch with Skeive Dager (Oslo Pride Days) and been taken on as a videographer. This is an annual event, which all major cities in the Western world has, to celebrate and promote the diversity in our society. I attended the parade in 2011 and though it was quite fun, so thought why not volunteer? I will be working every day of the festival,...
