In the weeks running up to Christmas I did some video work for St Austell Brewery. They wanted to create an animated video that showcased their achievements both internally and within the community in 2012. I was commissioned to film 8 clips of various groups associated with the brewery holding up pints of Tribute in a toast to the audience. It was a fun project which was filmed in about 2 and a half days. There was a lot of driving as I had to be in Exeter & Westward Ho! in Devon on 2 separate days for 2 separate conferences, and also down to the Pandora Inn at Mylor on another day.
I decided to use the 10ft jib for most of the clips as this would give the clips a bit of life instead of a static or sliding shot. For the shot at St Columb Distribution Centre I used the Glidecam. The media designer at the brewery did a fantastic job putting the final animation together. Have a look…
What a whirlwind day we’ve just had! Left home at 5am to drive up to London with my colleague Tom, from Paramore Productions. Got to Mayfair at 10am to setup filming inside a pub, started shooting at 11am then went on a whistle-stop tour of London sights in torrential downpours of sideways rain to film a man in a wetsuit walking about with a 7ft surfboard. All sounds a bit cryptic doesn’t it?
