KM Cinematic show reel package
Selection from 16 exhibitor and delegate interviews
Behind the scenes
This is the third year that I have been commissioned for a creative video show reel, interviews and photography [8th year photographing] by the Petroleum Exploration Society of Great Britain and The Department of Energy and Climate Change at the Prospects Fairs: The UK’s leading networking event for exploration and development.
I won’t go into too much detail on this post as many details overlap with a previous post [PROSPEX 2010 post]. But instead showcase the new visual material I produced this year at the Business Design Centre in Islington [a favourite venue of mine as it's so close to my home]
Production
2 days and evenings solo project, again not sure how many others out there are photographing and filming in the same way I do. The evening at the Victoria and Albert Museum was a highlight as I always enjoy the venue.
In total I filmed 16 interviews [all on the PESGB YouTube channel], shot the footage for the cinematic package show reel and documented the event with my photojournalism photography.
Some interviews were prearranged but most were shot on the fly and sourced by going from booth to booth and asking delegates for their participation.
If I had a 2nd cameraman / assistant then I would have considered one of my multi-cam interviews, but I had so much equipment to lug around and sound to monitor that a solo multi camera approach was to much.
Post production
The show reel edited myself and at the end I have added my new motion graphic KM credit.
For several clients I offer assistance with the social media aspect. I help set-up channels, login and upload directly and create annotations.
