RM offers mobile ICT solutions for schools. In conjunction with Me&Him design, this film was made to highlight one of the many schemes that RM have for providing mobile ICT solutions in schools.

This particular case study takes place at Barnes Farm junior school and focuses on the RM mini notebook and various other RM support products.

This film forms part of an interactive tour of the Energie gym, Forest Hill. The brief was to create an interactive tour of the gym that would highlight all of the facilities available to members. The video will be included in an interactive player that allows visitors to the website to jump from area to area or just watch the film straight through.

About this video:

Salsa Kingdom takes place in Southport and features the absolute best Salsa dancers from around the world and some of the world’s finest Salsa Groups. Over the course of three days there are workshops, parades, parties, live music and a show – The Magic of Salsa Kingdom.

I was commissioned to make the film to promote the next years event. The brief for the film was to highlight all of the different aspects of the festival and to maintain a slick and snappy look and feel throughout.

The film required a mixture of interviews and footage of all of the varied events that take place over the course of the festival weekend. Some of the technical challenges included shooting in very low light, shooting alive stage performance from different angles and delivering a lot of important information whilst keeping the film nice and pacey.

The final film was delivered for the web and appears on the company’s website as well as their Facebook page and various other social media channels.

Technical Info:

This film was shot entirely with the Panasonic GH1 Digital stills camera. It was shot in 720/50p and edited in Edius 5. I used a mixture of the stock lens as well as a selection of Canon FD primes, including 28mm 2.8, 50mm 1.4, 100mm 2.8.

Please feel free to contact me to talk about hiring me and my rates etc.

All of the graphics were produced in After Effects using photographs licensed from the Press Association. They have a fantastic catalogue of photos across a massive range of subjects – but their sports photography is particularly good.

I’m not sure who I’d pick – but I think Daley Thompson has got to be up there…!

The reason for this is that it contains information that is sensitive to Orange and France Telecom and therefore I do not have permission to display it publicly.
