ABOUT

Concept:
Visualise Lava La Rue and Jerome Thomas's performances for BBC 1xtra in the world famous BBC Maide Vale Studios.
Lava La Rue and Jerome Thomas joined Jamz Supernova in the Maide Vale studios to cover an influential R&B track for Black History Month.
Unfortunately the Youtube videos were not commissioned so I edited 50 second clips to be used as promo for the radio broadcast on 1xtra's social media pages.

Execution:
I was given 3 Canon DSLRs and set one up as a close up of the artist inside the recording booth as well as a wide shot of the live band and artist and the third on a shoulder rig. I used this to get close up shots of the band members playing their instruments as well as a variety of close up shots from different angles of the artist singing.
I was careful to ensure that shots showcasing the live band and studio environment were used in these short clips as well as picking a part of the performance which best showcased the artists talent and passion during the performance.

Result:
The clips received a great response from the production team, presenter and artists. This clip was also found posted on LinkupTV’s Instagram page.
