Hey, I am Vanessa

Hi everyone, my name is Vanessa and I am from Germany. I’m going to do my internship at The Light Studios until December this year. I hope to learn as much as possible in photography and video making.

This week we, the interns, shot our first fashion video. Mara plays a girl who isn’t able to find the perfect dress for their second anniversary.

Charlotte plays her best friend who tries to help her but fails.

I have the responsibility for the camera and the editing.

The shoot was during 2 days and we had a really good make-up artist, Shelly Feldman, a talented actor, Diego Barbosa, who played the boyfriend and Thamizh Thendral who played a Clown in our video.

The filming was trouble-free and incredible funny with all that people together.

We shot at Holland Park, Fulham Palace and Oxford Circus.

Here are some expressions:

This and next week I am going to edit the video and upload it as soon as possible.

All the best to you,

Vanessa

there is no business like show/music business

Video shoot after video shoot is going by and time is flying fast. People are being ushered around, make-up is being fixed, the filming days are getting longer and longer. You think that I’m getting tired of this? No way! That’s the most amazing part of the business if you ask me! Lots of people involved in a project, seeing it all come together and creating some amazing work of art, that’s what it’s all about in my opinion. You can literally see how passionate people are about their work.

During the last couple of weeks we had some really amazing video shoots. The first one I would like to tell you about was the video shoot for the band “Pony & Trap” performing their song “Time To Engage”. After the shoot our videographer did an amazing job with editing all of it and creating a really cool music video for them. It’s fresh, new and colourful.

Do you want to hear something new, exciting and completely different? Then you should definitely check out the band called “The 45s”. They are an upcoming British boy band from Carlisle and we had the honour of doing two music videos for them! It all started in Camden where we were filming them having a walk around stables market and such while messing around. We got some really cool footage. In the evening they had a gig in this area so we filmed them while performing. The audience loved them and so did/do we! These boys are extremely talented as they are only teenagers and write all of their music themselves. You should really check them out: http://vimeo.com/90117058

Enough about music now. We also have a new shoot for Bounce BMX coming up. Do you remember our last shoot for them? It was thrilling and a great success. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, have a look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4J6fEe42zNM. These riders were just incredible and our video shows pretty good what you can do with such an awesome mini bike!
