Creating a music video in 2 hours

14 May 2010

Last week saw me bunkered down in a back room of the Hyatt in Auckland frantically designing a video clip for the NBR Best Dressed at the 2010 CAANZ Media Awards.

This clip was put together ‘on the night’ with the help of talented fashion photography Kirsty Harkness at Tiger Tiger. I had 3 Apple laptops on the go all using the iLife and iWork suite of products. Between the shoot and the video deadline there is only a 1.5hr window for me to choose the images and and put the clip together ready for the big screen.

Think MC Oliver Driver loose on the mic, max volume and 600 media egos screaming… you get the idea!
