mind shag

Well that fashion show rehearsal went fairly well. I mingled and mangled quite a bit whilst I was there, talking to a fair few people. One of them was Phillip Campbell, who I had met origonally at Rundance, he was covering it as well, he seemed like a real interesting guy, and he owns a studio called Fibre Camp (http://fibreca.mp/), which he runs along with a woman called CJ, and I've made pretty good friends with them, in fact they were the ones to ask me if I'd like to cover the Hockley fashion show. Anyway, I put together an edit of what little test footage we took at the rehearsal

Quite a bit took off since meeting Phil, he's a really cool guy. He also got me the thing covering The Bunker's launch night (website: http://bunker.fibreca.mp/), going down to his studio on monday to have a walk and talk about ideas for shooting it and things, he liked my edit of that test footage and said he'd like something in the same style. Oh, I showed it to the owner of Baa Bar as well, and he said it was awesome, and that he'd like to use the final cut to play on the tv screens at his bar, which is pretty rad. That got me thinking about ideas for it, I thought about perhaps getting a high framte-rate camera into the studio, along with some of the models from the event and get some good footage from that. My friend from ASOS uses that quite a bit for the videos he produces for them

for example. Anyway, Spoke for a long time to John Hallem about it, and he gave me the email address of a lecturer who might be able to help with getting hold of a high frame-rate camera, so we'll see what happens.

Phil also added me to Hockley Traders, and I have no idea what it is.

I looked on the website, and it just has a lot of dates with times of meetings and things. I'll find out what it is, maybe it's something good.

Been watching Jam a fair bit recently, a Chris Morris creation. Tempting to call him Christ morris, he's just that incredible. He makes everything look amazing, definitely one of my favourite directors.



Just look at this amazing scene. Beautiful use of music (an ending, ascent - classic Eno (Who, strangely, made this for another one of my heros, Carl Sagan (how many brackets are you allowed))) Wonderful framing and lighting, great script, everything about it just looks fantastic, I'd really, really love to meet Chris Morris one day.
