Last night w\as hectic but well worth it. I had booked the studio in Oadby for half seven and when I got back at four, I had so much to do.
All day, I had been organising lifts for everyone and what times, confirming that we were coming and props etc. and as soon as I got in, I had to get the camera ready, style and dress both girls as well as Rickie who would be arriving abit closer to when we were leaving as he didnt finish college until five in Coventry.
The band instruments were all set as well as the clothes, other props, makeup, tripod etc. as well as some Dutch courage as we definetly needed some!
We got to the studio at about quater past, everything was going smoothly which was good. The studio was an outer building of the owners house as he was a photographer himself. It was perfect, really well lit, panoramic screen, huge macbook, we even got tea and coffee.
As we were all dressed and ready, we could start immediately and not waste any time.
I had decided that we should shoot the promotional and digipack shots before filming so that everybody's styling was fresh and so noone looked tired in any of the shots.
The lighting really helped, connected to my E-PL1 by a wire to its flash sync socket and set to manual, I could easily check the aparture and change it in order to make the white balance in the photos correct.
We had two hours to film and shoot everything, which proved to be the perfect amount of time. The owner was really nice and showed me around the studio which I really enjoyed. It was good to be in a professional environment as I feel it furthened my learning and I hope that the professionalism is translated into the music video.
All that I need to do now is film the final park location which I can do in the next two weeks before the deadline which is no problem. Tonight I will begin the editing for my final digipack draft which I am really excited to start doing.
