Val Saville Edinburgh Fringe

So the Fringe is Finished

It’s taken me a while to say that

And that’s because it hasn’t really finished for me. I’m inspired by what’s been happening and the doors and opportunities that I’m considering. However there are some things that are pretty exciting to me at the moment and one of them is how things just fell into place at the right time. One of those events was when Andy Burns joined us and came out filming and joined the Edinburgh Fringe Live community effort of capturing something magical. Which is what we did when The Showhawk Duo got in touch and said “we liked the video you did of us busking did you know we’re playing the Tron on the 23rd?” Well that was my birthday and Rachael and Becky had other plans. But I couldn’t have had a better birthday present than filming their gig and the footage that Andy caught was that of a pro. Getting to know him it transpires that he’s not new to filming and he has raised the bar for us in many ways. One of which is to up the professionalism and have an ident as the maker of the film which really makes sense to me so I’ll design one and start adding it to the videos. (more…)

We filmed the Edinburgh Festival Fireworks

although it is technically now called the Virgin Money Fireworks I like to think of it as the Edinburgh Festival Fireworks.

So we had a go at filming the Fireworks show and I have managed to do the first part with the Walk of the Valkeries and there was a few things we didn’t do properly. First of all we scoped the camera shots during daylight instead of darkness as it was going to be filmed. We actually chose the view so that we could get as good a view onto the castle wall where the water fall fireworks happen and had imagined that the clock would be silhouetted against the background and would all but disappear.  (more…)
