Today marks the 19th anniversary of my first time using a video camera ‘professionally’.
On Saturday November 18, 2006, @caloomba and I picked up a Canon MV700 like a pair of chimps presented with a quantum computer and marched fearlessly into The Arches in Glasgow to film Death Disco’s Fourth Birthday.
We’d had no training, the £300 camera wasn’t built to cope with the low light or the high decibels, and the crowds, smoke and strobes made it pretty much impossibe to learn what the buttons did.
The plan was to get some b-roll for a video interview we were doing the following day with the Glimmer Twins for a website we were starting, but we recorded more than we needed in The Arches, so I opened iMovie for the first time and cut together this… /watch?v=bQdMd2oyg0E
Boiler Room take note.
I don’t know whose account is hosting this film on YouTube, but they’ve saved for posterity what I would have binned long ago.
While I think it’s fair to say that my films have improved a bit since then, without that first shoot and without stubbornly heading back into The Arches again and again, I’d not be doing what I do for a living today.
Anyway, the point of this ramble is just to say a massive thanks to everyone who’s given me the chance to come and film something for them over the past 19 years – all the promoters who let us drunkenly point cameras at their guests when I was starting out, and all the people behind the businesses, universities, charities and public bodies who now keep me in food and lodgings by booking me to make videos for them.
You might not get the same wide-eyed, lager-fuelled camera waving that Death Disco got back in the day, but hopefully you’re getting a film that looks and sounds like it’s been made by someone who knows what he’s doing.
