New video! I directed this music video for Tom Milsom’s track ‘Pipes’, from the upcoming album Organs. It was produced in just one week, from concept to finished product, and I’m very proud of it.

If you enjoy it, please reblog it!

Tom Milsom - Pipes

Directed by Bing aka Slomozovo, and I was a production assistant. Really happy with how this came out and you can see me in it, too.

I got to work in the YouTube Creator Space today. I’ve now officially been there on a production as well as listening to Bing talk about one [first time there] and being shown around when it was empty back when I bought the camera.

The experience was good - I got to learn a bit about positioning of people and pulling focus, the key to reshooting and preproduction, as well as ways to engage your team and keep them involved, so a bit on people management, and some on set management. I was the production’s assistant. What that meant was that sometimes I’d be pressing play for playback, sometimes I’d be cleaning a lens or holding down the rail when tracking, sometimes getting drinks or food and other times just looking pretty.

I also took a bunch of photos for Jack Burke (JackvsLife) of the space and things being used (such as a Canon C300), and the performance for Bing’s behind the scenes things. I’d not met most of these people before including Tom Milsom (Hexachordal), Lucy (MeowItsLucy) and Will who was helping with pulling focus throughout the shoot.

On Friday, you’ll be able to see the result of our hard work.

MidTea Session number 24 is Cariad Harmon performing her song Old And Grey. I’ve had it stuck in my head for the last few weeks and absolutely adore Jon Paul and Clara Lafaro’s harmonies on this

My last days in New York were with these people. Scott Mason, Cynthia Li, Allison Weiss and Lauren Zettler. Not a bad combination
