Trafford Centre Part Two - Pop Up Fashion Shows 16/03/2012



So I got another call from my old pal Brett Claxton from the Trafford Centre TV.
I rocked up with my Z1 and filmed a day of 'Pop up Fashion', Dancers basically pop up in front of a top brand shop, casually then performs a stylistic dance/catwalk with items featured in the store behind them as their costume. It attracted a crowd at most of the stores, which made it enjoyable and fairly exciting to capture. 


Have a Look at the shots to get an idea of what exactly these Pop up fashion shows do. I had the pleasure of spending a day with Brett and Simon at TCTV, John and Jason from Steadicam-facilities. Jason and John brought over a wireless signal so they were able to film Live around the shops enabling the food court viewers to see it on the big screen. 


I was so busy on the day I never got any decent pictures of the shows as I was busy filming :( but follow the links and have a look at what was there! 


Also dont forget to 'Like' and show your support on FB and twitter your watch, like or subscription on Vimeo and youtube will help too :)

The secret flashmob shoot in the Trafford centre 1/3/12

So I have only 45 minutes ago de-rigged at the Trafford centre, Salford 6th form dance students have just performed to 250/300 people as a surprise!

It was the quickest shoot I have done rolling for a max of 5 minutes, I set my Z1 as a wide on the boat above the stage and then shot around the balconies with my 5D, with three other camera men.

Supposedly Granada will be showing it on the news today so I hope my footage was worth something. This job was scored for me by Brett Claxton it was a pleasure to be back working with the guy as it's been a good three years since the last time we were making a music video at university.
