Camera + Laptop + Plane Ticket
15 Minutes of Footage, 350+ Edit Points, A Glidecam Rig, and one epic track…
The 52nd Annual Australian Medical Students’ Association (AMSA) National Convention in Sydney, 2011.
www.convention2011.amsa.org.au | 03 July 2011 – 10 July 2011 | Promotion Video #1.
I guess this is what you call a ‘mixed media’ project. I was asked to produce a single shot video of a performance of Shostakocivh’s String Quartet No 3, for entry into a competition (hence the unedited single shot) and promotional material. This presented few challenges, in contrast to previous video work, except for the question of how to record audio.
Thankfully the two hour rehearsal left me with plenty of time to adjust levels and microphone location, and some time for portraits.

“A trail of twenty pieces…” was written and produced for the inaugural Concord Hospital short film festival, Confest 2009 which it later won. A big thanks goes to everyone involved, as cinematography really is a team effort.
This is my first serious attempt at a cinematography project, the script was written for the University of Sydney Medical Revue (see the youtube page for a full list of contributors) I was tasked with putting it on film. What quickly became apparent is how much of a team effort video is, a huge change from the somewhat insular world of stills.
