Outside Work

Along side my course I have been working on some outside projects, mainly music video and documentary. My most recent job is based around a young boy trying to find his niche in life. He has a great passion for skateboarding but is unable to buy a skate bored due to his family's financial situation. On the young boys birthday he is given a guitar. Having shown little interest in guitar the boy is displeased with his gift but still attempts to learn the instrument. With little success the boy gets frustrated at his lack in progress and tries the throw the guitar in anger. In doing so the boy finds a new way in which he can use his guitar. He decides to take this new found skill to the streets and skate parks to practice. As the boy is interested in skateboarding he combines his love of skating and movement to create a very unique style of urban movement called "Choreo". This newly created sport involves various types of movement and practiced choreography. If I had attended the workshop prior to filming and editing the video I feel I would of had a much better understanding of shooting and working with extreme movement. 

FX
To show the boys progression and skill I was asked to create a type of motion graphic. The screen shots show some of the final stages of the FX. Once the video is approved for publishing I will post a link on my blog.

SHIFT K3Y Touch-Promotion video. 

Another project I have recently compleated was a promational video for Recdording artist, producer and DJ Shift k3y. Recently Khift k3y has reached number three in the UK charts with his latest single Touch. Ben and I were commissioned by Sony Columbia to film Shift k3y's set at Village Underground in Shoreditch. The aim of the video was to create a short one to one and a half minute compilation of shift keys set to attract potential fans. We were ask to feature a unique concept that would compete with the vast variety other promotional videos on the internet. Knowing Shift k3y gave us an opportunity to show a personal side to a recording artist that I feel some videos of a similar nature lack. Using inspiration from our first term project Maps and journeys we decided to fix a Go Pro to Shift k3y's chest and film his journey to his gig to use for the intro to the video.
