Photo update - on the way to Campbeltown

The last 'dust-it-off' entry, I promise.

Since recently I had an honour of taking part in my first business trip (oh, the business trips are amazing, do go on business trips!) and since I work with cameras... well, we obviously had cameras!

Some snaps on the way to Campbeltown:




Digital illustration update

I'm still very far away to even remotely call it something profitable (if I was so inclined...) but this does not change the fact it's still a good hobby/free-time killer.
In the last couple of weeks I've been abusing my tablet a little so this is some results:







AN OPEN CALL TO ARTISTS!

Yeah, why not.
It's a copy of the ad I posted on gumtree. However low, chances are someone might actually come across this here, well...



Hi all, 
I am looking for talented people throughout Aberdeenshire who consider themselves underexposed (or something). Daily I work in oil and gas industry but I am getting involved as much as possible with talented locals and societies in the area. 
Anyway blah blah, to cut it short: 

THIS IS AN OPEN INVITATION to whoever is involved in just about anything. Are you a local band and could use a music video? Freestyle performer looking forward to put together a mixtape? Abstract artist painting with your elbows? You name it. 

There are no catches, I'm not doing this for any cash whatsoever. The most I can get out of it is couple of seconds for a showreel maybe. I'm just looking for interesting things/people to film. I shoot on Canon 5dmarkII (which is rather decent piece of equipment), have necessary lenses and whatnot. 

Anyway - if you made it this far it means that you might be in the group I am looking for. If so, send me a sample of who you are, interest me somehow, tell me what are you involved in, you can film it even with a mobile as far as I'm concerned. There are no tips & suggestions and as of now I'm not 100% what I'm doing but there's not much to loose.

Yes, free video. Excited. Go.

AUSA Fashion Show

Hi again!
The video below features some highlights from the fashion show organised by the students of University of Aberdeen. Like the video or not but you have to give it to them - they did put a lot of effort into it.

Breakdance school video - sick!

Another relatively new video - this time I had a chance to work with a fabulous breakdancer Navid Sobhani.

Check this out, some sick moves!

Footage from the last breakdance session for this year at the University of Aberdeen.
Navid's breakdance club is open to beginners and pros alike. The participants meet on Wednesday evenings and typically Navid would spend the first hour as a teacher revising the basic steps and introducing some new moves. Within the second hour the performers form an open circle: an opportunity for the beginners to showcase what they had learnt and a 'battle ground' for the more experienced.
If you wish to get involved drop Navid a line at navidbreak@facebook.com or simply come around to one of the classes.

Shortsfest 2012 in 3 minutes

I've been dusting the video archive for a new showreel and found out I've never came to edit anything of the Shortsfest from last June which I helped film.
This is some highlights from the 2-day long festival held in Glasgow. Music not for the faint of heart.


Enjoy!
