Seven Freerun Classes

So, another video for my friends in Seven Freerun, we decided to get some shots of their classes here in Burnham to help promote them a bit more and show off their classes and such. All this footage was from one session, 4:40 worth of video from 129 filmed shots.... It was a lot to go through, but, it gave me something to do :D 


One of the pluses to this is getting to experiment more with After Effects, since they didn't have an opening logo sequence, Ive been trying to work out different techniques to animate it :)
Also learning a few things about my camera as well, one being, it doesn't like low lighting, which is annoying... another being, I should really check my settings before filming so I don't get constant blurring of the Auto Focusing, damn technology!

Seven Freerun: Photo Edits From Burnham Session

Some photo edits following the video I done for Seven Freerun :) 
These guys are just starting out on this business venture of theirs, they're doing it for the pure fun of Parkour/Free Running, and I admire them for that! 
They are a genuine group of people, friends of mine throughout the past 5 years or so.. So, if anyone could give them some support or if people are interested in seeing where these guys go, visit them here: https://www.facebook.com/SevenFreeRun?fref=ts :D 

Just a minor injury, perks of a passion!

Meteor Shower Inspiration

After hearing the possibility of a meteor shower in the UK, i felt obliged to look upwards whilst walking home, I saw no shower, but the sky was incredible... So I felt a meteor inspired drawing was in order.
After taking my place at the patio door with my laptop, tablet, carton of orange juice and cats jumping past me; all lights were dimmed and headphones were put in. This is the creation of about 2 hours work.. I enjoyed messing around with the colours, I'm not normally one for colourful pieces.

Summer Editing

This year, some friends of mine started a Freerunning/Parkour company to teach the local kids and do gigs and such. Luckily for me, they wanted some videos done to show their progression and help advertise themselves a bit more.
On Wednesday, I sent Tom out with my camera to do some tester shots and just mess about to see the capabilities of my camera. Although the clips that were filmed weren't really done to be made into a 5 minute video, I done it anyway. 
So, after a few days of messing around with the arrangements and trying to find enough footage to fit the song, it has finally all come together in a decent enough way. 
Hopefully we get a few more video adventures before I leave again because I found this rather entertaining!

I hope for more videos to follow where I can shoot some awesome stuff for these guys! None of it is serious, it's just a little fun for them and for me. So, heres the video:
