EDITING & FX (MUSIC INDUSTRY)
PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL, EVENT LIVE CLIP, ADVERTISEMENT, SHORT FILM & MUSIC VIDEO EDITING & POST PRODUCTION
FEEL IT ALL.
For this project there was an extremely short deadline of two weeks. A music video was needed to premiere alongside the track on the Proximity YouTube channel. As this was during the pandemic and we were unable to shoot any footage, I had the idea to create a James Bond intro style video utilising CG elements, selected stock footage and footage provided by my good friend Lewis Rhodes.

REMIX EDITS:
In line with the individual artworks created for the remix package, the music video was re-coloured and edited to conform to the release style.
MOVIE.
Artist management required a quick re-edit of some footage shot in LA (via external collaborator) for a music video. Unfortunately no raw footage was provided so I had to make use of an initial first cut. Some minimal FX shots were also required. Ultimately management decided against releasing a music video altogether due to time constraints.

VULGATRON.
For this Foreign Beggars side project (Vulgatron) I collaborated with several other visual artists, videographers and editors. The short edit displayed here showcases some of my edits and FX work. [The black & white section at 2:15 features footage from a music video edited by Digital Boy]. I stitched together each section of the full mixtape visual and created a short animation for the intro. The full 30 minute version can be found at the link below.

PUBLIC FEEDBACK:
GENERALS.
Artist management had a strong concept for this music video and requested the utilisation of stock footage of multiple television sets. With a short turnaround time of less than one week, I shot the Killa P footage at a studio in London in an afternoon, then re-purposed the existing Vulgatron greenscreen footage from the mixtape visualizer above.
