Twin - Alexander Mcqueen fashion film

My first fashion film documenting the Alexander Mcqueen shoot is finalized and edited, Becky Smith has seen it and is thoroughly happy, just waiting for the website to be updated in mid April and then it will be put online, I will be continuing on the film as I personally feel it can be improved slightly.

Twin Shoot Alexander Mcqueen











These images were shot on the 8/3/2010, and it was a fashion shoot which capture the last dresses designed by Alexander Mcqueen before his tragic death. The photographer was Scott Trindle working in collaboration with twin fashion stylist, Celestine Cooney. The model 'Robin' was perfect for the dresses with her narrow shoulders and tall straight build, it allowed the natural movement of the fabric to sit beautifullyon her and look incredible on camera. This was a great day, which allowed me to get incredible footage for editing and allowing me to put my stamp on fashion film which is relatively new and not a full strength, however I believe I can change that and find formula to communicate fashion through film effectively.

Latest email contact and proposition for the rialto burns

Hi Jack

Ok So we have now signed the band and are ready to get the first video made.

If you are willing to Undertake this challenge then we are willing to put it in your hands! I suppose its the whole visual aspect of the band so it all ties in as one project.
I think it will be a great thing for you to get stuck into. Their myspace is www.myspace.com/therialtoburns


Play these LOUD!

We are after the following.

1. Video for 1st Single. (And 2nd if you are up for it?!)
2. Album Cover
3. Press Shots
4. Flyer / Poster / Ad Design
5. Visuals for Live show
6. Intro EPK (Short introductory video to the band. Small interview / few visuals etc - Check 'Burn The Negative EPK' on Youtube as an example)

The first Single may be "Radiate" followed by "Slow Fade".
I have attached some Band Imagery and some Album covers that they are heavily influenced by. The Band play live in Liverpool on 26th March (Friday) so possibly a good filming opportunity for some things?

Think Grainy Black and Whites. Silhouettes etc.

I think this is exciting as fook!!

looking at the way in which the bands darkness can be communicated through the visuals, but in keeping with the genre and the sound. I was looking at examples from The Smiths and Joy Division. To make contemporary taking reference from frank miller a graphic novel filter could be a cool way to go.
Passport photos of band, could be a segment of music video, sectioned in a quadrant grid with each member signing their individual part of song.

album confirmation

I heard the whole song list from the Rialto Burns and they sound very much like a contemporary version of the smiths. Sean who is the assistant of the head o gung ho he has confirmed I am to produce a music video, album art, lookbook, poster, flyers and tour promo. All of these outcomes need to be related so that the band are recognizable from all pieces of design.

Twin shoot

Its looking like the 14th March will be my first shoot with Twin, Content still being confirmed as is final detailing but I will be speaking with the creative director on the 11th March.

Twin Magazine

Looks like i'll be meeting with Becky this week, as I have been speaking to her this weekend and she has a few film projects coming up, which she will want me to work on. These will be fashion based films I believe and therefore I should be able to get some print based work from the shoots.
