So, I’ve been doing a lot of work on the directing side of things lately.
This is my latest commercial:
Slaughterhaus Five: Freedom Day
Director: Alias Cummins
Editor: Lydia Morgan (Bonehouse Productions)
Online promo for Slaughterhaus Five - After The Harvest, Weapons Not Food. Shot on DV, on location in Cockfosters in about 6 hours, for a budget of under £50.
Music is by Laibach. Used without permission.
Here’s the second half of the Slaughterhaus 5 launch campaign. These ones are a bit more well produced, I think. (although obviously still pretty amateurish by Soho/Hoxton standards…:p )
Making videos is so much fun! No writing code, debugging, or any of that stressful crap. And once it’s done, it’s done. Awesome.
The cool thing about this whole “video flyers” idea is that they’re much more effective than regular paper flyers, don’t require physical distribution, and are actually less expensive when you factor in printing costs. Of course, once we start doing location shoots, and hiring Christopher Walken to do guest appearances that might change… 
So I’ve actually had some spare(ish) time lately, and I’ve been wanting to expand my skills a bit - so I thought I’d have a go at directing some short promo videos. A club I VJ at, Strength Through Joy, is rebranding and moving to a new venue (and, ahem, making me a partner ), and they wanted to do a campaign to reflect this. Here’s the first two videos:
