Hey guys!

Here's my latest uni project:

I mainly produced this piece but I also had input on cinematography and operated the second camera. Also did all the after effects work and colour grading.

There's a lot of problems during this project, our crew was a bit unreliable at times - Our editor left on the Thursday before deadline (deadline was Wednesday) and came back on the Tuesday morning. We managed to just about get a final edit down by the Monday night, then it was all a bit of a mad rush to colour grade, hence the poorness in some shots!

Could have been great if we had a bit more time (and recorded the interviews somewhere with less noise! )

Regardless, hope you all enjoy!

I wrote that this was as good as any professional documentary I had seen. In fact, that didn't faithfully express my thought. “Derive” is actually better than many boring professional documentary I've had to sit through. It's only 5 mn but based on those 5 mn I'm pretty sure you can a 60 mn lively and interesting documentary.

I've read (or heard) somewhere that when a director loves his actors, it shows on the screen. Maybe it's just some silly myth. But there's such warmth and humanity emanating from the interviewees in this documentary! I don't think it's that often that a director manages to get that across. You've really managed to capture something of their individualities. In the end, I think it's that humanistic aspect more than the beautiful cinematography that made me like “Derive” so much.

Thank you very much!

There were plenty of devoted and talented folk working on this project, and the guys where great, it was effortless to just step into their world, and feel as though you're apart of it. It's captivating, truly.
