Poster

This is the poster for my band's album release. The simplistic design hopefully will reflect the simplicity of the messages within the bands lyrics. I used the same image from the album cover, however, I applied a filter so that it is recognisable to the audience, but it isn't the same generic image. The poster includes in image of the band, the band name, the record label, and the availability of the album.

Editing and Final Cut Pro

I thought I'd just blog a little bit about Final Cut Pro... Basically, I edited my entire video using this software, and it is amazing. Having had no editing experience before, I found this software user friendly, easy to navigate, and a lot of fun to use.

Here are some images of things I've done on FCP;

Where has she been?!

It's been a while since I've had the chance to post anything on here. Basically, I've split with George and I'm not making my own cut of this video. This is utterly unfortunate as I've no experience using any editing software. However, having spent every spare hour God sends, I have made a (rather good) first cut of my video, so I'm really happy about that. I realised upon editing that a few clips need to be reshot, and I aim to have this whole video completed by the end of the week. C'MON! In a weird way, I do feel rather accomplished. I've practically done this whole project by myself (mood board, blogs, story boards, animatics, 2/3rd of the filming, and ALL the editing). Kudos to me :D

Brrr!

I don't think I've done this much travelling in all my life! Yesterday, I was travelling from Eltham to Dartford to Chislehurst to Eltham back to Chislehurst and then back to Eltham. Good news is that it was the last film shoot over and done! It was just unfortunate that I had to complete this film shoot by myself (again) as George had other things to do.
Today, we were uploading and editing the footage. All the footage looks great, the HD is perfect. It's just a shame our mac isn't working to it's full potential and keeps crashing. A little bit frustrating. However, I have a lot of free time Wednesday, so I'll just busy myself then.
STRESS doesn't even begin to explain!!!!!

FILM SHOOT!

Was a little bit stressful, as I had to organise pretty much all of it by myself, but when we finally got to Dartford and set everything up, it all ran pretty smoothly. I'm much happier with the new shots, thanks to the extra lighting, they came out clearly. I love HD when it works properly :) so we have now reshot the opening. Sadly, we didn't get as much work as we hoped we would done today, but that's not a problem, as we have another full day of filming ahead tomorrow. Everything seems to be finally coming together. Phew!

This is my favorite picture from the photoshoot. Sitting on a pub table, gawping at Martyn, who is admiring my handsome chins :)
