RockNess Festival 2010

RockNess Festival 2010

I was asked by UGroove.tv to direct and film a round up of the RockNess Festival in Inverness. It was an awesome weekend enjoyed by myself and the crew. The highlight was Club 75 but as expected there was plenty of good music and vibes going around the place. Benji Boko was probably the best discovery of the weekend.

ENJOY

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!

2010 is here and its work as normal here at GSM towers. I didn't get up to much for New Years, I'm going Jamaica on Monday for a couple of weeks so im more concerned with getting things done before then- WIN.
Xmas was taken up with more work as well, which means i got a new website launching soon and a new music video coming just after that.

For now though here's my new year treat. Just seen this today.

UMBRO SPECIALI BOOT TEST part deux

And here it is!! Both short's turned out quite nicely considering we didn't have the audio track approved and ready. the way we ended up working was:

1. line up a rough edit of the footage and key bits we wanted to include in the film.
2. add what we thought was the approved audio and 'retouch' the edit to sync well with the audio.
3. change the audio track last minute and wish for the best :0

UMBRO SPECIALI BOOT TEST
