Anecdote

Me and my friend, Huw, are now making 2 music videos; one for Joey G - a rapper from my church - for his rap: Breakthrough which you can hear on his website, and another for Baby’Oul - a french artist also from my church - for his song Papa Jah, which you can listen to on his myspace.

So far we’ve shot all the footage we need for Baby’Oul, including a live concert, for which we borrowed a Sony Z1 camera from Antena - thank you Antena!! Antena are also letting us use their editing facilities to edit the video - they’re so kind.

As to Joey G’s video, when it came to editing, I noticed that for a lot of the shots there was a tripod in the background - we hadn’t taken into account that Joey G would be moving around, so we just left it in the corner, not realising that it pretty much destroyed most of the footage! So now we’re going to reshoot but this time in more locations, so that there’s more variety in the video (another thing I noticed whilst editing was that it was a bit boring just having the same place all the time!).

So that pretty much rounds up where I’m up to with these music videos. The only thing is that I’m getting quite a bit of work at school now (and I’m supposed to start revising), so it’s pretty hard to get time to edit.
