Anyway been interesting month or so since I last wrote a blog. I dread this, writing blogs, its just so well, who cares? Anyway onwards and upwards.
The Bluewater commercial has been finished, which I suppose is my first full commercial for TV. It is cheesy but it worked which I'm happy about. My concept for their pitch was to shoot the video in one shot shot so there are no cuts. It constantly flows, especially as we only have 20 seconds. The video was produced by Suzy Goodall of Create and she did a great job. There were some hairy moments on the shoot as always (wrong coloured skate shoes, a not very dexterous Santa and other problems) which she pulled us through. The client is really happy with it and so is the agency; so hopefully there's to some more.
Other than that I have finished off a music video for a heavy rock band called Obsessive Compulsive. Its not really scary enough but thats my fault, but pretty pleased since I shot it for no money. The band are great people really friendly so hopefully I'll be doing some more.
I went to Iceland with my wife Gilly for a week. It was beautiful and bleak. One day I will film something there!! A script writer friend is starting to develop an idea which we're going to make together I hope! Also have some ideas for a script too. So as 2011 nears the end I'm very much looking forwards to 2012.
