Child of the Night - Video Synopsis Re-Post

After a long discussions with Props, trying to find out who he is and what he is about, it has all boiled down to this, MUSIC MUSIC MUSIC and walking. For some reason he would rather walk then take the bus if that somewhere is within West London, which isn't good for me if i have to tag along!!!!

One night, I was on MSN at around 2am and he was online to.
Why aren't you sleeping I asked
"I'm making music" he said.
"Is this a regular thing then, working at 2am"?
"yeah" he said.

He then spoke to me about how his mum always used to complain that he didn't know the difference between night and day. As he was always sleeping during the day and working on his music at night, this is when he felt most creative. He'd actually recorded this convo.

That's when the light bulb switched on!!!

Video Title: Child Of The Night

This video will consist of footage from the studio, the creative hours ( walking journeys to his nightly hot spots), sunset/ cartoons/ still photography.

Child of the Night - Video Re-Post

I had a stressful time getting this finsihed - Laptop breaking down/ Uni editing rooms only open until 5pm, teaching myself Adobe Premiere Pro. Besides this, I've really really enjoyed the process and am proud of the end project as it's my first self -taught moving image video.

This is a musical bio not personal (Date of birth/primary school).

Hope you enjoy it. Web streaming quality not so good.

As my project is about non-stereotypical Hip-Hop, I thought this image would be a great representation of this, without using the cliché images of what Hip Hop represents today, to show what my project is not. I have decided to go back to old skool associations within a modern environment, as my client represents old skool in today's society.

Whilst Crate Digging, we found an album cover called 'No Sell Out', which sums the whole project idea. He is not a sell out to what Hip Hop used to embody, its essence is what enables him to produce now, its his inspiration, its his belief, its vital elements help him to form his music today.

Possibly add more saturation to give the image more richness.

Photo from recording studio - 16/05/07

Hey guys the day went well, got a lot of footage, which will be kinda hard to edit down into 5 mins along with everything else I've filmed. I didn't realise this at the beginning but deciding what goes where and what to cut and what to keep is really stressful!!! I want to portray him exact to his character, but everything he say is so useful and interesting, it kinda hard. I'm worried that if i leave something out people won't get who he is, and this is important as it a biography for anyone interested in him and his music.

For this video I'm going not going for the polished look, more of a roar laid back, down to earth.

Anywayz I'll do the best i can, heres the images i took on the day.

Music Received

Sorry guys it doesn't seem to be loading, will try to correct it.
