Priors Field School - Video documentation

This is the forth year in a row I've been asked to be involved with this Priors Field School event. I've posted about it each year but I will briefly describe it again.

It's actually a highly enjoyable job which takes an incredible amount of concentration. This is a good challenge for me because I'm used to working alone at my own pace and listening to music, great for creativity but not great for concentration.

It's a two day event where the pupils of this all girls boarding school put on a bit of a show for the parents on the last day of term. The pupils leaving this year play the songs they have written, play in orchestras, show their art, and give speeches. The teachers also give a round up to the years progress and give out prizes to exceptional students.

My role changed this year slightly. I was given control of a free roaming broadcast quality camera. A huge thing on a tripod with wheels, the kind you see in studios broadcasting live. The hardest part is to get to grips with the running order of the show by being at the rehearsals on day 1, and on day 2 I have to film and edit LIVE to a 30 foot screen at the head of the hall - broadcasting to over 1000 parents. I control two broadcast quality camera's and a basic live mixing desk. The sound, probably the most important part of the production is done by a friend and sound engineer who runs the company Kinetic (based in Woking).

As I've said before, if I have children, and if I have a girl, I will be thinking about paying for her education at this incredible school. Very impressive indeed.

Sorry there is nothing to show you, but it's all mixed live.

Andrex - Fresh sampling leaflet

The graphics for the stand were created, and that part of the Andrex Fresh job this yeah is complete. I needed to create an A5 leaflet which accompanied the exponential stand. The leaflet was to be handed out by the staff, to passers by in shopping malls.

Andrex - Fresh stand

Work resumed on the Andrex Fresh exponential stand. The concept boards were approved by the client, and the artwork files were needed as soon as possible!

My role was to create said artwork files, ready to be printed and built. It's been fun seeing this job evolve from start to finish.

Vintage Marque stand visuals

Vintage Marque are a high quality alcoholic beverage brand. Ports and Madeiras being the main bulk of their stock and sales.

I had to work as part of a small team to create some 3D visuals for an exponential stand. The stand was created to resemble a bar.

Andrex - A6 Invite

This was an in house job. By that I mean, it was an invite that was to be given out to Andrex employees, for a yearly staff event. It had to be a mixture of corporate and fun. A very simple and small job.

Kleenex - Hay Fever

Kleenex Hay Fever, is one if the Summer campaigns from this giant brand. The job I was part of was very simple as the campaign is yearly and already set in place.

I simply had to create the graphics for a "dump bin" which is a large tube that is full of product samples for the general public to take. I also had to create a sticker to accompany the dump bin.

Kleenex - Sore to Soothed concept boards

Sore to Soothed, a new product from Kleenex. The product has Aloe Vera in it, and is said to sooth a sore nose. I worked with the creative director to make his vision a reality on the computer. We had to create a set of concept boards, working in a small team, with limited time as usual! The concept had to include branding, product placement and an exponential stand.
