Three words… I LOVE WELLINGTON.
This is the product of an idea thats been churning away in my mind for over a year now, and I have finally had the opportunity to bring it to light. I heard “Reset” once, and I knew for certain that I would make a video which discovers the city I love.

This was created as part of our individual music video projects for The Film School in Newtown, Wellington. The aim of the exercise was to discover, plan, shoot and manipulate ways in which music can be put with visual media to produce something that explores and idea, or tells a short story.
I have always been intruiged by the nightlife of Wellington City, and my appreciation for it has grown mostly within the last year, after basing my NCEA L3 Photography portfolio on a static/still version of this music video. It has definitely been a very, very fun project to delve into, as many nights have been spent shooting and editing. I’ve learnt so much about the Canon XH-A1, and like I say in the video log at the end, I am amazed at its low-light capabilities. Likewise, I have learnt a lot more about the Adobe After Effects editing system for compositing. AE is something that I would like to get to use more often. Thank-you to Andrew Kramer, video tutorialist from: http://www.videocopilot.net
Your tutorials have helped me learn the basics of AE incredibly quickly.
As mentioned in my vlog at the end as well, Mike Krumlauf, a young lad with a passion for art-film, from Chicago IL, has inspired many features of my work in this video. I would encourage you check out his work for yourself:

Thank-you Mike, your work is brilliant and I have always enjoyed your continually inspiring short/experimental films.
Thank-you to the partnership between YouTube and Warner Bros, which allows me to use this track, “Reset” by Mute Math, legally on YouTube. I became familiar with Mute Math more than 2 years ago, and I love their music. They are amazing, and different, and I’d push for making more music videos using their craft: http://www.myspace.com/mutemath
This video may also double as an advertising piece for the “Have A Love Affair With Wellington” Wellington City Council website. Thank-you WCC for your continual work to help keep Wellington exciting, new and an awesome place to live:

Anyway, I truely hope you’ve enjoyed this, I sure did, and hopefully it has come to serve as inspiration for other film-makers, as advertising for WCC, and as a showreel for the capabilities of the Canon XH-A1.
Cheers,
Andrew
