M&C 24 hour ad challenge

Just finished a weekend nailing an advert in 24 hours. Surprisingly easy, yet staggeringly difficult to get something looking good and matching a concept. The reason for this isn't so much for the process, but for the members involved.

To begin with as a creative duo you are teamed up with a director, who has his own crew. The director and crew probably wanted to make a jaw-droppingly good looking advert as much as we did wanting to make a tight and tidy concept, executed in the most appropriate way. Maybe the process was flawed by the fact the creative inputs were all introduced too early. Being used to having little time to complete projects, the 24 hours actually seemed quite generous.

When it came to editing we were often left fighting a 4 vs 2 to try and get our voice across, leaving out video riddled with creative error.

General Update

This website is absolutely brilliant. I really enjoy the pace of the website, it keeps you captivated, and the music is beautiful. Immediately makes me want to have Fila clothing.

Other than that I was shown a copy of Sam Winston's Dictionary, in book form. It looks great on screen, and even better now that I've seen it in person. Proper white gloves moment for a brilliant.

My website is now running, and although only links you back to this blog, will soon be full of work and interesting juicy bits and pieces. I'm looking forward for this to be complete. Will update again when it is fully functional.

32 beaches in one day

The 12? of us stuggled through 13 hours worth of beaching and swimming to hit the official number of Guernsey beaches in one day. Same thing next 1st Sunday of August? Possibly? The weather held up for the beautiful south coast but failed to shine for the rest of the bays. More to come on this exciting adventure.

Check out the twitter feed here. A video of the event will follow soon when edited.

Website is running
