So it all started one wet Sunday afternoon…

Matt came up with this great idea to shoot a TVC in a bar for the Brevis 35mm adapter. So we started susing out pubs in order to find the perfect “look” for the scene that we were after. Katie kindly offered to take the leading role and with a little encouragement from Matt, she got dolled up for the shoot. We didn’t have to look too far because the pub across the road from Matt & Katie’s had all the feng shui we needed!

We shot the TVC for the Brevis 35mm adapter, ironically, with the Canon 5D and a 50mm 1.4 lens. It took us about an hour to shoot and then 3 more or so to edit it up. I was in charge of the title animation and layout. After a little internet inspiration and talking Matt in to some appropriate background music via an out-vote, we were on our way…

We sent the clip off to “Cinevate” and they LOVED IT, so we were in business! The clip was viewed by tens of thousands of keen videography and communication professionals and enthusiasts at THE BIGGEST videography conference in the world - NAB. The event was hosted by Las Vegas, USA and Matt was fortunate enough to attended earlier this year. Matt’s Pics HERE.

We had fun doing this shoot given the frivolous nature of the clip. Congrats to Matt for coming up with the awesome idea & to Katie for her acting skills.

And thanks to Em for being best boy grip

Year 11 Leadership Camp - 2008 from Glen Wilson on Vimeo.

Here is a 5min clip of 2008’s MSHS Year 11 Leadership Camp at Sandy Creek Campsite in St. Mary’s Forestry. The camp was held on the 24th - 27th November 2008 with around 70 students joining in the fun. During the camp we enjoyed quality bush cooking from the camp ovens, leadership games, some rather dodgy “ice breaking” games, swimming and a massive 6 hour hike (well… for some of us).

I took around 3 hours of footage during the camp and have only managed to edit together a short 5 minute clip so far. I plan on making an extended version later on but I guess we’ll see how it goes.

Nerd Alert: the footage was shot in 1440×1080 on a Sony HVR-V1P & a Canon HV30.

Well we have returned from a fantastic camp with some fun stories and good times had by all. I am in the process of putting together a quick 5 min clip of the camp action to download for the kiddies so stay tuned…

I must say - these year 11 students are really impressing me as they are already turning out to be a really great group of people. Looking forward to spending the next year with them and getting to know them all a bit better… (that is unless i happen to get fired again this christmas

well, its friday night and im late for Novemboard… no doubt you will see the footage and many various clips posted for that soon enough…

cheers
