Film & Editing Blog - Behind the Scenes

This mini online documentary shows behind the scenes of the filming for Student Adventures 2011 London to Paris (L2P) charity bike ride. The final footage was used in the online promotional movie which we produced for them.

The kit shown includes:
    •    Canon 5D with genus, Jag35 and Zacuto rigs - for stable DSLR based filming.
    •    Sennheiser Shotgun mics - for pro audio sound quality.
    •    Stickypod Director Pro Vehicle Mount - for action shots of vehicles and cyclists.
    •    Marantz PDM 661 Audio Recorder - for field audio recording.
    •    Canon XH A1 camera - no hard drive = no jumping!

Special thanks to the guys at www.ratherbecycling.co.uk who did the guiding for the event.

I normally hide behind the camera but this latest movie has me in it! Cringe! well when you watch it you'll understand why I'm not destined to be a Hollywood actor. But I do know what I'm doing behind the camera and in post production.

This video has a pretty funky intro with music from our musical consultant Baz. Enjoy!

Normally I'm behind the HD Cameras doing the filming. But today saw me acting as the talent for a short promotional movie to promote some Photography DSLR training courses that I'm going to be running this year.

In this image you can see myself surrounded by the equipment needed to do a proper job. There's shotgun mics, proper lighting, HD cameras and my assistant Franka who's doing a great job! I'll post the video on here once I've finished the post production and it's uploaded to youtube.

This video demonstrates a number of different filming techniques. Brought together with careful colour grading and fantastic music from our in-house musician Baz. It follows the artist Carol Arter from Arterworks.co.uk as she creates a papier mache sculpture of an angel.

Our good friend and client Nick Kemp, an international business trainer and coach, popped by our new Offices in Leeds LS2 to review the compositing animation and editing we've been doing on his footage from a training course in Japan. 

We've created a flowing flag animation blending his brand logo into the Japanese flag. We'll let you know when the project goes live. To find out more about Nick and his work abroad, you can visit www.nickkemptraining.com.
