Music Video Shooting







this week was great! really much nice things to work on. first of all this week, we filmed the bijenkorf oktober fashion flash was. every month the bijenkorf has somthing like that. it's a presentation of upcoming fashion for in-store tv's, you could call it some sort of moving catalogue. so on monday a model was there that we filemd wearing dfferent sets of clothes, in different poses. we did that in the office of holland centraal, they have everything necessary there to do so. light, camera, a treadmill... yeah right, a treadmill. they have that for these "catwalk-shots", like the model walking towards you and stuff. nice effect.
ok, so we filmed everthing on monday and i had time till thursday to make a montage of that. i tried to pretty much use the same style as in the catalogue itself. afterwards michiel added the text. the bijenkorf liked it and so did i.
and then came friday. after having done two music videos for that girl-band "lisa, amy and shelly" their managers (EMI, music label of sony), asked holland centraal to make a music video for "KUS", a somewhat more popular and further grown up group, and today was the shooting of their clip. and even better, i was asked to come and help! awesome!
the group consists of four nice girls from the age of about 24 (i guess), and the clip was shot in a big gym in amersfoort. that was one really great experience.
ok, most of the time i was busy carrying around lights and camera equipment, but having participated at all was and really good and informative for me. and one other task of me was to film the making of! so cool!
all the time i wasn't busy with carrying stuff around i filmed what was goining on, and if i wasn't filming, i was taking photos (brought my camera, naturally). i will also be the one mounting the making of, so the clip will follow as soon as it's done.
is also was one long day. a lot of work such a video shooting, that's for sure.
