I’m not alone in my pain, Tom Ellis is also sore from the copious amounts of food we just ate at an Indian in Plumstead. I would like to think that the pain would remind me never to eat that much food again, but, as the pain is only temporary, I can imagine I would find myself in a similar situation in the very near future.

DIY Dolly Time
Would like to say a quick thanks before I get started to Dale (AKA Quail Trail). He made the whole process look so easy and it took him a matter of minutes to make all the adjustments required (it’s been sitting in my wardrobe for some time as I would have messed it up if I made an attempt to modify it!)
Two blog posts in one day, what’s happened?! Maybe I’m making up for the lack of blog posts over the past few months! Apologies before I get started as it appears I have caught the time lapse bug. It’s not exactly new to me, but when I revisit something I start to think about all the extra little things I can do to improve something I’ve done previously.
Last night I ventured out of Lowestoft to go to the Big City and meet Mr. Tom Ellis and finish off an outstanding project. While overlooking the Thames from his flat I decided to mess around with the camera and set up a time lapse.
I haven’t written a blog post in a while, so after a long day of taking lots of photos (you may have gathered from the the title!) I thought I would write one! Where do I start? Might as well go with what’s fresh in my memory, so here goes…
The team arrived at the venue nice and early on Saturday, a lot earlier than normal as we had to prepare for our first live streamed event to the internet. 10th Legion Championship Fighting was going to be broadcasted live, to the entire world!
It’s quite hard coming up with new ideas each time we create a highlight reel for another fight event, but this time I think we’ve done it! We’ve recently had a moody slow motion 60 second teaser for a TV advert, this video has again been shot to provide a smooth slow motion highlight reel, but this one is colour rather than black and white. It has been graded and I have added a few extra little bits to the highlight reel to make it slightly more interesting when some action happens. You’ll also notice changes in speed in places to coincide with big slams and elbows!
Filming in Gateshead & Video Premiere in Lowestoft
It’s Bank Holiday Monday, and despite it being a bank holiday we’ve been working! Today me, Tom E and Brendan went to The Globe Inn in Lowestoft for the premiere of Samuel Hughes’ music video for “In The Streets”. Sam, AKA PurpleSolja is looking to submit the video to AKA channel after promoting for a little while on Youtube. I shot the video in approximately 7 hours using 5 different locations and a total of 11 takes. We also shot a little bit of b-roll taken while moving from location to location. Tom Ellis then went to work and used all his editing skills to make this really cool video. The people that attended the premiere were really impressed – so a big thumbs up! I took a few photos of his close friends (also one of Brendan looking like a model!)
Documentary about the positive aspects of dementia
Yesterday I attended a showing of a documentary about dementia at the Seagull Theatre based in Lowestoft. Chimp Media provided camera equipment and helped with the filming, editing and motion graphics for this 35minute film. In the film, health professionals, carers, and those with dementia all give their different perspective on how they deal with day to day life. It also talks about how people perceive those with dementia and how our understanding is gradually changing.
A young musician, Samuel Hughes (23), who performs under the name ‘Huzi PurpeLsolja’ has created his first music video with two chimps, Tom Tailford (27) and Tom Ellis (19).
