Current Projects

I have 2 projects that I want to spend some more time on at the moment,

Islands lost at sea – Are a Bolton based band and I know the singer/guitar player of the 3, there are starting to make some head way in getting their music out there. I have seen them play a few times in Manchester and we got talking about a video for one of their videos, the song they feel is making the most progress is ‘The way we played it yesterday’ which you can check out on their myspace here. All be honest there are a few ideas going round at the moment.

1. Take a shot of live night, try and get them to play a few time to get many different angles as I would plan to use 4/6 cameras with some close padding shots (eg mics –on vocal, Guitar – close shot down the head)
2. Plan the entire shot, get a venue which we can use for the day and take shot after shot to get the footage needed.

At the moment I thing option 1 is more do able and would look better with a good flow as it would be the same footage just different cameras but we will see, they are not playing for a few week and I would like to get some footage before I start to plan the shoot.

Untitled – I have no title for this one yet but I do have a concept. I want to use outdoor light to get a strong contrast. With the outdoor light I want to get some very close shots but some cut shots so no full on frame. I have the music I want to run with the clips and I have the location, all I need now is time and good, sunny weather.
