From Russia With Love






Hi-Gloss has again been working with our favourite diva, miss Shena Winchester again. We're the British side of an International co-production of the music video for Shena's new single '24 Hours In Moscow'. Having already produced two music videos for the singer (Nasty Little Rumour and Aphrodisiac) we shot some very effective footage of Shena in a simple studio setting (with some rather complicated lighting) that we'll be editing together with footage shot last weekend on location in Moscow with Russian pop heart throb Alex Sparrow.

Things Are Beginning To Look More Colourful!



Well, It's been a super long work flow but we've been putting the final touches on our London Eye project via the hugely talented Mr Tom Balkwill (www.dirtylooks.co.uk) and his mighty Baselight grading system at the fantastic Locomotion in Soho. The film is looking fantastic and the fabulous jib shots (courtesy of master DOP Gareth Ward) of the London Eye as the sun is setting are especially impressive. Considering we shot over three days with varying weather, Tom has done an amazing job of seamlessly blending the various segments together and we are super excited to showcase the final result...coming soon!

LG Short.



Another exciting project wrapper filming in November. After 3 days of castings and several location hunts, we went ahead with the short film shoot for LG's new Scanner mouse, an amazing piece of equipment that we were given the task of showing off in a fun and creative way. Am not able to reveal said way currently but you'll see from the pictures below that we had a lot of fun and were also very mindful not to spill any tea or coffee anywhere on the rather pristinly white location! We filmed using the Panasonic FA101 which turned out some great pictures (though was a trifle complicated to use), some nifty tracking and a simple lighting set up and were very happy with the results on what was a rather packed day (though we managed to run just 15 mins over schedule!). It was also rather fun listening to our actors gossip in between takes and we couldn't help but be reminded of the bitching on the excellent sketch show 'Extras'! More info coming soon.
