We gotta Stick Together

Started with my Bottom Now Im Here.

I must say this year got off to an interesting start, Instead of going to the first day of Uni, I stayed at home and had a colonoscopy. Whaaat. Yep. a colonoscopy, and if you want proof, you can click right here for pics.  Luckily my recovery time was swift and I was able to attend the first session of “The Digital Director with Mark Poole”. This is the studio I have selected for this semester, and to be honest I selected it so long ago I have forgotten what I signed up for. Heres what I gathered:

  • We will be talking about drones a lot
  • We are looking at the way technology has changed the way we make films
    • ie. Gimbals, Drones, Internet, Smaller cameras, Cheaper cameras

These are the two most important points… As for now however, it seems like this semester will be fairly flexible, we will be directing our research into areas that we personally find interesting. This should be a productive experience.

Great Belgian Egg Hunt

Firstly, lemme just hit you with the same amount of context that I had:

– We will be making a Music Video. Here is something inspiring:

Oh Boi oh Boi oh Boi. What was that?  That  my friends was the work of a man by the name of Anton Corbijn, (prunounced like Corbi-jaan. However I am eternally convinced its Cor-Bidgin). I soon found out that we would be looking at a range of his work, allowing us to analyse different styles of music video.

Welcome to “The great Belgian Egg Hunt” the one and only Amazing Music video Summer Course at RMIT this year. Tutored by sir Rohan Spong the course is already destined to be entertaining, and frankly, quite realistic. Realistic meaning that the things we learn and discuss will not be theoretical and unattainable, instead we will be learning from each others  real world experience, of which Rohan has the most.

First session in we were asked to outline why we were there and what motivated us to do the course – good start, thus I will be sharing some of that here:

  • I wont lie, partially i wanted something to do during the summer so people didnt tell me to get a job
  • I am interested in music video making, its a quick and concise production, also it allows one to be abstract.
  • The practical aspect of the program interested me, I would get to work with people who really want to be there (I mean they are there during holidays!) And it being done in 6 weeks means theres no time to waste.
  • Brushing up on my own skills is always a positive. For example here is a music video which I directed in the past:

 

This video clearly lacks in a  storyline, and If i was to do it again there are a quite a few things I could NOW improve. Thus the best thing to do is continue making music videos and learning about my craft. This is what I hope to achieve during this course.
