Post Festival Videos

At Meadowlands we took looooads of footage. So far I have uploaded four videos to youtube, and I plan to upload more - even though the project is over and the deadline's been and gone, I think it would be a shame not to use it all. I'm hoping to make a Gentleman Starkey video using all the clips that me and Sam took - this was too hard to do before the deadline because it was such a mission to match up all the random clips from the 2 cameras. I'd also like to incorporate some of the interview footage from Yellowfish studios into a promotional montage-type video to promote the 2012 event.

Videos On Youtube

Abi Wade - Roulette

Abi Wade - C'est La Vie

Jo Harman - Bless Ma Soul

Jo Harman - Better Woman

I think this one was the best, me and Kirsty both filmed the whole song, so I could choose the best shots all the way through. I did this using the multi camera monitor in Premiere Pro:

Should be in my Sketchbook

Finally AT Meadowlands Festival

Last weekend was the actual Meadowlands Festival! Me, Sam and Kirsty went and took loads of film and photos and ate lots of pizza.





We did a few panoramas, here's Sam setting one up in the main arena before the site opened

My Portfolio Site

Initial Ideas

I tried to make the bottom middle one on the computer but it ended up being this:
Mockups

In this design the homepage is the video page, with only one video - my showreel.

All the black would be fixed and in front of the page content using the Z index in CSS so when you scroll, you get to different videos or images, and its as though your looking through some kind of blobby hole into the light of my portfolio.

After the crit I changed the navigation to Home, Projects and Showreel

Using a generic projects page instead of segregating them into web, motion and print means that I can have projects that combine two or more of the web/print/motion categories and means that I can have a nice long page of work - I'd only have two things in the 'web' section.

Contact information will be on the homepage so I don't need that on it's own page.

The screenshot above has a new shaped blob, this is so that the navigation buttons can touch the top, in the same way that HARRY WINTER does at the bottom.

It's horrible now though.

Coding it up

Here's the makings of my website. This is when I got @fontface working. This will allow anyones computer to display the font that I want without having to resort to nasty images. The font I chose is called Folk. It's free to use under creative commons licence.

I downloaded the kit from fontsquirrel.com which provides the font in all the different formats that different browsers want.

Then the CSS points to all the files.

After a while I realised the site looked better without the blob:

So I took the blob image out of the code and made a black background and borders:

This is the homepage before I realised I didn't have time before the deadline to make a showreel.

I then changed the 'showreel' buttons to 'blog'

and I put some better pictures in.

The projects page has the same layout as the homepage, it just goes on longer:

When you click on a project, you get a page like these.

I used a "showcase" class in the CSS to centre this content:

Here's a link to my site as it is now! harrywinter.co.uk
