Finished these last week, due to bad weather the shoots had to be postponed a few times again and in the end the editing kinda got rushed. Starting this Wednesday you can watch for these at JIMtv, about 8 times a day.

Enjoy and feel free to leave a comment!

Currently I’m doing my 3-month internship at muziekodroom.be, which is a local music venue, which organizes concerts, parties and their own ‘Play Festival‘. Also they have their own educational program and as of next year even their own study direction ‘Pop & Rock’.

On my first day already I got the responsibility over the Play Festival promo clips. Earlier an announcement was made through the Play Festival website to make an own version of the Stranglers - No More Heroes, which is also the tagline of the festival, since the festival and the “Play” concept in general seek to promote upcoming bands. So the winner, Floris Francis Arthur, was chosen and contacted to star in the clip.

After some brainstorming with colleague Stijn I was left to it and during the rest of the week I searched for locations to shoot and drew a storyboard. A day before the shoot it started snowing. Since we were on quite the tight schedule we had to shoot something anyway. So we went to ” ‘t Jazzkot” inside muziekodroom and started improvising. And this is the result:

I will be shooting more of these next week, so stay tuned!

Joby comes with the revolutionary, very reasonably priced, Gorillapod, which allows you take pictures in a way you could never before. You can mount this tripod (yes, it’s a tripod, in case you were wondering) to literally, almost anything. Hang it from a tree branch, a light pole, put it on some rocks or simply on the ground for great perspectives or neat close-ups, … the possibilities are endless. Hell, you can even mount it to your dog and view life through his/her eyes (- well, more from its back, actually).

Below you can watch a video I made passed October for the Community Building module at school. In the end we had to come up with a new improved concept and prototype for Sanoma’s FitFixers website/community. More at the beginning of the module we we’re asked to do interviews in order to make a needs analysis, which we had to present in an “original” way. Most groups went for video interviews, others for slide shows and I even saw a word-document

In my eyes, the problem with a video-interview in this case is that people will probably not answer as honest when there’s a camera pointing at them while begin asked about their health, weight, diets, …

I felt like playing around with stop-motion before, but never got past the small experiments, and thus, I took my chance. FitFixers is part of Sanoma Magazines, and given the fact we still needed faces to present our needs, I grabbed a bunch of magazines. So after 2 days of ripping out pages and cutting-out hundreds of people and objects and one mad night of shooting (in my room, which explains the bad lighting) and editing, this is what I came up with:
