Finished promo

Here is the finished promo that I have been working on. 

I was supposed to have an interview today for a runners job at a post production company but the northern line was broken. I've managed to reschedule it for tomorrow but I'm a little worried that I may have blown it... I'll have to give myself two hours to get in rather than just one...

Editing

In my post from last week I wrote about how I had managed to get some unpaid work editing a band promotional video. Well sadly hat project fell through due to my camera being unable to transfer HD footage into Final Cut Pro. 

This week, however, I was given some SD footage to use for a different band. I spent a day or so playing with the footage and sent it off to my contact who is organising these promotions. Apparently it was the best he's seen so far. I've sent it over to the visual effect guy who will add a few touches here and there and hopefully I will have the final piece by Monday or so.

In the mean time, here is my edit of the footage. In classic Youtube fashion the quality is terrible but you get the idea. I will upload the final version when I have it. The band is called Kojo (there is no link because apparently they are revamping their Myspace at the moment).

Louis the freelance editor

I've just arrived home from a meeting with Media Circus. They are an advertising agency based in Leicester Square and they want to move into creating band promos. For this they need editors and that is what I hope to be. 

I have been given a couple of tapes of live footage from a band called Cats and Criminals. I'm having a listen now and they aren't exactly my thing but I'm sure I'll be able to fling something exciting together. They have a cool logo that I'm thinking of taking advantage of.

This is (of course) unpaid for the moment but it could lead to a permanent position and I can at least add it to my show reel and put it on my CV.
