Sitting by Nellie: Presented by Joan Brown

So now that I have graduated from university, I am working hard to start my career in media and video production.

So what have I done so far?
Well this post is about my first video production job, which I literally started the day after my graduation, entitled 'Sitting by Nellie: Presented by Joan Brown'. It's a how to fashion film that shows the process of creating a female jacket using Couturing methods.

The hard thing about this production was that I was covering all bases from production to post-production. All visual and sound footage was captured by me on a Canon 550D MarkII and a Zoom H4N. It took 4 days to film and 6 weeks to edit and produce the final DVDs. This educational DVD is archived at Norwich University College of the Arts for students to use if interested in Couturing a female jacket.

Projects Outside My Education - 2012

I'm going to start with what I've been up to with the projects I've been involved in outside of my university work.

I was fortunate enough to get a great opportunity to boom operate a short film production that was being directed by my friend Martin Watters called 'Golden Globals', for Heart FM radio station.
Here is a sneak peak at what we were up to behind the scenes.

Next I was lucky enough to produce a promotional events video for Norwich Cathedral.
But the really exciting thing that I was involved in this year was as a sound recordist for a low budget feature film called 'Another Day'.

The film is kind of surrounded in mystery at the moment, there's not a lot of marketing at the moment, but there will be. I will be posting links to all advertising of this film when it is released.
I can say that it will be making it's way round the major film festivals next year.
I had a great time being a part of this production and met some amazing people that I will never forget, can't wait for it's release and seeing it on the big screen for everyone to enjoy.

At the moment I have now got my first paid gig as a filmmaker. I am producing an educational tailoring DVD for the fashion department at the Norwich University College of the Arts.

I'm Back (One Year Later)

It's been a long time since my last post. Been very busy with not only my final major university project, but also a few outside projects. A lot has happened in the last year.

This post is a kind of an introduction to the posts that I am now going to create to fill in on what I've missed out on in the last year.
