Why Can't You Be My Girlfriend? Music Video by ME!!!!

So this is what i've been up to recently. My sister is an up and coming singer songwriter and we had always chatted about making a music video for her.

I've never done anything like this so i was so happy with the result we got. 

Plus it was done on Zero budget. 

Here's the first single 'Why Can't I Be Your Girlfriend?' from my sister Rhiannon Mair's debut album 'It Goes Like This'

Produced, directed and edited by myself. 

Shot on two Canon 600D's with a 50mm, 17-35 and 28-135. 

If you like what you hear check out her facebook page music on itunes.

Check Out We Are Us

I stumbled across We Are Us today. They do design, brand image, websites and direction. Pretty cool. Fingers in all the pies.

Here are a couple of there music video promos.

Wiley - Boom Blast

Friday Afternoon Art Direction

Dennis Maitland goes to great lengths to capture these vertigo inducing photo's. Could see this kind of shots being used in a clothes/shoes poster campaign.

Via Adverve

A scary visual of how many McDonald's are in the United States.

A nice interactive site for Wrangler. You drag the models from scene to scene. Nicely done. It's obviously had some money thrown at it.

Complete Bayhem

Victoria Secret advert directed by Michael Bay.

Interested? Of course you are.

Michael Bay is all about less plot more action, girls and explosions. Kudos to the guy to some extent because he does what he does very well.

JJ Abrams talks mystery

Following on from our "What's in the box?" post  this is the talk by JJ Abrams. Motionographer pointed out that this is what could have inspired the short film.

JJ Abrams himself, is very engaging and has a nice take on the idea of mystery. He talks about why he loves this particular theme, and how he makes it work in his projects. 

He seems to really get popular culture and cinema audiences. All his work has this pace which keeps you firmly gripped to your seat. He understands the audience today get bored very quickly, which is why Lost, Alias, Mission Impossible 3 and Cloverfield feel like they never let off the accelerator. 

We haven't seen the new Star Trek yet, but if the trailer is anything to go by it will be one hell of a cinematic ride!
