Art Direction: Film

Since the Can Brief I have realise that I love filming and editing and I find it quite easy. I defiantly want to do it again!

The Honor Fall '11 film, directed by Todd Cole, explores the idea of finding beauty in the banalities of everyday life. The film captures a dream-like episode of a girl escaping her mundane reality, and roaming beautiful desert landscapes as a "warrior princess".

It is so good to see video used in Fashion to deliver a concept and sell clothing instead of just photography. The filming is great, just soothing music, no dialogue and a high end fashion catwalk fell to it. I love the landscape and set within this filming. I wish I lived in canada and could climb mountains and film on Glacias, unfortunately I cannot. This film is in a vintage old style and i love it. A very great way to show of a new fashion collection. I my opinion it is so much better to see how the cloths move on a model and the fact of using video shows the brands diversity.

Just funny and brilliant... nothing to do with Graphic Design.

Music videos

I told Dan to send me videos on youtube of his favourite drummers playing. Mainly so I could see how they were filmed, positioning of the cameras, movements and microphones. But also to see how the style of music is presented through the recording. I realise that most musicians are just filmed very simply as these musicians in particular are amazing and have too much talent to try and add more interest through lots of filming techniques.

It is also nice to see the sort of drumming dan aspires to.

Interview videos

How I completely forgot I don't know, but Johnathan Duffin (Miranda's Dream) on youtube and vimeo films bands, and has done MHG (the good video). He has also videoed Jon-Jo in a really beautiful way, something I would like to do for Dan, maybe of him signing on his guitar. Duffin focuses on great lighting, and atmospheres for his filming, something I want to emulate throughout Dan's branding, tasteful artiness.
