Go Pro Hero 3 Show Reel

Buying a Go Pro Hero 3 White Edition was one of the best investments I've made this year. I've been thinking about it for a while and once I got it I couldn't wait to start filming with it.

Technically it gives me the freedom to think "outside the box" since I'm able pursue a multitude of angles that I wouldn't with any other camera. Personally, it's really fun!

Here's a collection of clips shot with the Go Pro, on my four main academic projects in progress:

• Aston Martin GT4 Challenge
• BUCS Gatorade Nationals 2013
• Major Incident Simulation
• Birmingham International Fashion Week

Highlight Report (Prod. Lab)

Project Title: Marcelo’s Portfolio Establishment and Professional Networking  (Redirected from Project D4RE!)   

 

Project Update. What has happened in the project to date? Please provide as much detail as possible.  

Because of a lack of response by the potential client, and unexpected workload, I didn’t have time to pursue an agreement with Ackers or any other outdoor activity company to work on a video, to the according deadline. Instead I pursued the goals I wanted to achieve, on an array of different projects. These are now the focus of my production lab project. 

Project Issues. What issues have arisen since the project started that you didn't expect?
  
I didn’t expect to have so many extra-curricular and academic projects going on, which altered my organization and priority management. 

Update on Risks. Have the risks changed since you started? If so then what further mitigation have you had to put in place. Are there risks arising out of the issues you identified above? 

I feel that by changing the focus from one single video to four different ones, by having the same project goals in mind, actually mitigated some of the risks of not having enough content and improved my chances of building up my portfolio and learning creative filmmaking.

Won!

It isn't' first place, but it still feels good to have won runners-up for the Gatorade Nationals Video Contest.

The prize money of 250£ and the inclusion of the video on the Gatorade website are happy news. More than the money, having the video displayed on an big corporation's website like Gatorade gives me extra strength to keep developing my projects.

Even though I have to change the soundtrack because of copyright issues I'm still pretty glad about the outcome.

It was a great opportunity to apply fast action\pace editing and shooting skills, and build a sports package, which is one of the main objectives of my production lab project.

Here's the winning version of the video, without copyright clearance:

A re-edited version with a new soundtrack will be coming soon!
