Sneakers For Life!

This week Myles and I entered a short film/trailer competition on YouTube. It was an online competition across Europe by Foot Locker, with a grand prize of a lifetime supply of kicks (lifetime supply being 65 pairs over 5 years!). Already owning an ever growing ammount of trainers, the prize sounded very appealing and was an excuse to make another short film, my first to be entered into a competition. Here is the competition outline.



This was the first film that me and Myles had made in an advert/viral style, which I had been waiting for an excuse to do for a while. In the end it worked out well, despite some minor concerns, the main one being the slightly washed colour of the film, which was a result of a few factors, such as poor lighting conditions in the kitchen, which was made worse with a large window next to the fridge. This lighting was further made an issue, due to the difference in appearance on the Z1 monitor, the MacBook it was edited on and how it appears on YouTube, which made colour correction even more difficult. There were also things improved during the shoot, such as the ending, which was originally supposed to be an ambitious 360 pan of the kitchen (which probably wouldn't have worked as well in hine sight). Anyway here is the final product. Written by Gustav Newby, Directed by Gustav Newby & Myles McAuliffe Camera & Sound by Myles McAuliffe, Performed by Gustav Newby, Edited by Myles McAuliffe and original score by Tim Crosbie.
