Setting up the studio with a projection backdrop, credit to Aska Ross, and a basic lighting set up in the rig and some mobile floor birdies. Shooting the band as a whole while running through the song numerous times with 3 separate cameras. Using the Glidetrack, tripod dollies which work well in the studio environment and of course numerous on the spot inventions to create a wide variety of shots. We also used haze to define the light beams in the wide shots, which worked well until we had to remove all of the smoke..

The story shots were filmed on location in Hammersmith, again using DSLRs, utilising deep depth of field to give this section a cinematic feel. Using focus shifts and glide moves to add movement into the shots to ensure that they did not slow the pace of the upbeat song. Some extra shots that we were unable to film on the first shoot due to fading light were filmed at a later date on Hammersmith bridge.

The final video was painstakingly manually synced with the original recording of the song in Final Cut, which is definitely something we are going to avoid in the future!

The Story is one of two Ex-lovers who have a chance encounter in a park, while at first one runs away he sees the potential in love and repents on his decision….

The journey so far

CreativeChaos’ completed and ongoing projects and objectives for the future. As well as a look at what and who we are currently.

CreativeChaos describes itself as a small independent film making company, made up of a small group of school boys between 17-15 years old. We are proud of where we have come from in the last year. The company itself started as Phoenix Productions, started by Luke Blackett and Edward Conder, this was at its earliest stage created to make a documentary style film for volunteering. The project was funded by £3000 given by Hammersmith & Fulham Council, and included an award ceremony for various local sports volunteering projects. The company lay dormant for awhile until a film competition was announced in the founder’s school. On spur of the moment the pair set about planning a project centred on a chase sequence through the school, at this point Barney Couch was involved in photography and editing for the company and Matt Blackett was involved on the acting and Creative elements. The film went onto to win the competition and was well received. This also marked a start in the company’s use of DSLR’s for filming for a number of reasons. From then forward we have continued our success with several small projects including a music video currently in post production, and also in changing its name to CreativeChaos. The company has expanded to include Jonah McGowan in photography and creative parts of the process. We are currently involved in planning and executing many future projects big and small, especially working with SPS Drama in a number of their productions.
