Last year I helped shoot a video to document the "Sturgeon Moon" performance in Bridgnorth.

Here's a BLOG on that event:

The other day I got my original tapes back from the dude I was working for, and I set about picking out some shots for a new version of my showreel, but I had so many that I figured why not put them together in a little video, so that's what I did.

Enjoy.

Ah, now that's nice. Good job, it has a colourful vibrant look and I'm sure it was a lot of fun to attend.

For some reason, the shot with all the folks walking across the field gave me a 'huntsmen tracking down zombies' kinda feel.

hehe, I was thinking along the same lines.

It was a chaotic night, similar to this year's event in Bridgnorth called "Sabrina & the Engineer" (which I blogged about in September/October), lots of 'run & gun' shooting going on.

It's also interesting to look at the footage I got a year back, and to look at the footage I got this year. I'm not saying my stuff from last year was crap, not at all if I dare say so myself, but what I mean is - I'm more efficient this year than last, can pick my shots better than I could last year (when I could pick them better than those in 2006, and so on), and it's also interesting to learn from your own footage - sometimes you think "why did you shoot that, ya fool?" lol, so it's all an excellent way to learn - by watching and by doing, and by watching your own doings.

Hehe, the opening shot of people outlined, slowly walking made me think of zombies, till (presumably) a family holding hands came into focus.

Nice color, awesome choice of music. In fact, the choice of music made me feel like I was watching celebratory footage from the most recent Olympic games.

Great job, MZ.

Ta very much, I just chose a track from one of my favourite CDs - "Digital Shades Vol. 1" by M83. They make great music, and as it's nothing official or what-not, I figured "fair use" and maybe it'll turn one or two more people onto the band.

Glad you like it lads, I rather enjoyed getting to see this footage again a year after shooting it for the original, intended purpose, and it was great fun to colour. So all-in-all, just a bit of fun really.
