Before I Go...

It has been a ridiculous past couple of weeks.
After my last post I worked from around 10-5 Wednesday, Thursday and Friday on Helge's studio major. It was amazing and worth-while experience. And although I didn't do much, I felt like I learnt loads.
I then worked Tuesday to Friday 8:30-6(ish) on Sam's studio major which again was amazing. I felt better working on it because Sam gave me more responsibility, working with him on the script, camera shots and working with the presenter as a liaison. It's helped me to bring back my creative streak which I've lost after a year of logical thinking. It's still rusty, but hopefully will be a well-oiled machine by the time I get back after summer!
Working on both of these studio projects has helped me to learn that I really want to do a studio project for my major, so all I have to do now is think of a concept!

The two minute edit from the last We Are Your Friends promo video is online. The video is being used to promote WAYF in Southampton and Potsmouth to the Student Unions there to get WAYF moved around the South.
I also organised the filming for the last one of term with I had coursemate Kris film for me as he's more competent with a camera. It paid off because the footage is amazing and I've already starting cutting some bits up after capturing all seven tapes...
People have asked me why I'm doing it for free, but in all fairness, as much as it's for their benefit because they get promotional tapes for it, I'm getting more experience in Final Cut Pro which is still not a strong point of mine after doing a year of Production Management.

Today I also managed to get involved in vision mixing 'A Costume Drama' for the AIB, and PA'd for Sam, which went really well. By the end of it he had zoned out and I was directing the cameras, which felt good as well, especially when Sam said afterwards that I did a good job!

Well, it's time for me to be writing my PDP assignment (thought I'd get this blog up-to-date before starting = procrastination), so I should crack on.

Until next year old friend.
