Epic camera gear and old scripts are used as props

Again David came up with the EPIC idea for this one, and I filmed most of it and put it together. We make a good team!

We managed to convince friends of ours to have faith in our filmmaking skills to come and act in our Jason Bourne, MI6 spoof movie. They did a good job!

GoPro HD Hero 2

It has arrived!

I’ve recently bought myself an awesome GoPro HD Hero 2. One of the best things I’ve ever bought, close match to my IPhone 4.

I really love the 120fps slow motion applicabilities of this tiny little camera. Shame that when it shoots that many frames a second it loses quality – but who cares? Everything still looks awesome!

It amazes me how robust the housing it for it. Check out the video below of it stuck to my car.

How awesome can it get? But wait… it gets even better.

Check out this music video I made containing lots of GoPro footage I’ve acquired since I’ve had it.

Wight News on Hold!

Wight News has been on hold for a while now as the weather has turned for the worse. While the weather was good we managed to get one outdoor scene done but we couldn’t get the last one done in time.

The last one was supposed to be filmed at a football match with friends but we never were able to organize it. Now the weather is wet, cold and windy we have to wait until next year when the weather gets a little better.

The outdoor scene that we managed to get done was a very tedious but a good laugh. We filmed it at a friend’s balcony/garden thing at their house while they were on holiday. For the scene we used a handheld microphone for the Anna and Luke while David took on the role of being a sound man. I mounted the main microphone on to the camera for any background noise that we would need.

Hopefully we’ll have this film done by mid 2012.

David came up with this – it was virtually unscripted but it came out really well and it was great fun to make.

It was the first time that Luke used the microphone with boom pole and the external audio recorder. It seemed like a professional film shoot!

BEHIND THE SCENES

 

 

 

 

My Micra v Bimmer

My Nissan Micra overtakes a BMW!

The exterior car shots were shot with a HD Bullet Camera from Dogcam Sport but I dubbed over the sound.

HD Bullet Camera Test

Bought a Dogcam Sport HD bullet camera which is an awesome little thing that shoots at 720p. Of cause there are better bullet cameras but this is pretty good for such a small size, and I stuck to my brother’s car for a little test video. Maybe in the future I could use it in a film. Perhaps in a S.A.S raid?

APPLE FIGHT

The UK Riots of 2011 have reached the Isle of Wight – Whitwell has unleashed Apple HELL.

I had a load of friends and family over for a BBQ one Sunday afternoon and we ended up having the most epic apple fight ever with crab/cooking apples. The objective is simply to hit the other opponent and we protect ourselves with bats and planks of wood etc. Its a lot of fun.

I decided to film it for fun. Then I thought I’d edit it together and I ended up with an epic film!
