Fabric video



So... I've just finished and delivered a video for Fabric

The mix combines 90's music with current music — 30 tracks featured in 60 minutes, so there was a lot of choice of audio for the video — almost too much!

I spent quite a lot of time to do the audio mixdown (which is where my old DJ skills had to come into practice, though I played Techno!), as I had to select 4-5 tracks out of these 30 — in a way creating my own mini-fabric-mix for my video.

I wanted to make a visual that shows both old school 90's and more current sounds, as is done in the mix by Jackmaster.

Basically: I like to stand in the space between two mirrors and look either left or right, or to look at a TV screen which is feeding from a camera - filming the screen and look into 'infinity'. BUT what I always found annoying is that I can't see beyond a certain angle — the angle you can view is the angle of what the camera is shooting.

I've experimented to try and do a similar thing by slicing the frames of footage in space and observing them from different angles with a 3D camera (through after effects) this is a technique I tried randomly 2-3 years ago when at college.

I can unfortunately not upload the video yet but here are some frames from the video:

Just flew back to London last night...

I went to Sweden for a holiday during the royal wedding, flew back last night which made this 5 minute TED talk extra relevant and inspirational
