Working with Tiger Eye Studios

Within the past two weeks I've been working closely with Tiger Eye Studios on two video projects.

The first film project that I worked on with them was a short film idea that a friend of mine had so we filmed it for her.

The second project was filming the National Hip Hop Show to make a show dvd for people who wanted it.

I'm looking forward to doing many more projects with Tiger Eye Studios and hopefully create my own showreel.  

Finished the BFI Academy

So for the past 10 weeks I've been involved with the BFI who provided master classes from industry experts and also gave me the chance to create my own short 3D film which was shown in Stratford Picture House Cinema. 

It was a really great experience, I met loads of awesome new people and learnt so much about different aspects of the film industry that I didn't really know about. I would really recommend this course to anyone who is interested in film.       

Worked with Flat White Films to create a music video, Reading 2013

I recently volunteered myself to Flat White Films (Production Company) to film the behind the scenes of them filming a music video for a band called Despite My Deepest Fear. Throughout the day I was also asked to help set up the sound, reflectors, and was even asked to film bits and pieces of the music video. It was an amazing experience and I wish to do more projects with them.

I'm Back!!!!

Hey! I've been off blogger for some time now, but don't you worry. I'm back with lots of new experiences with film. =D

First Filming job

Last Saturday I found myself heading to Reading to film the behind the scenes of a music video for a band called Despite My Deepest Fear. This was the first ever real job I've ever had and I'm glad to say, it was a great experience! My main job for the day was to film everything that was going on during the day and to interview the members of the band. But during the day I also helped out with reflecting lights and I even ended up filming some of the music video. All in all, it was an Amazing day!
