WELCOME TO MY BLOG

Since DSLRs opened up the world of low light filming to us mere mortals , there has been a steadily growing swell of people entering the live event/ nightlife scene looking to eak a living from capturing and editing the craziness that comes with filming the heavily intoxicated!


I was part of the early movement that saw the potential to earn money from this particular scene, and along with a few others from around the world, we began to sketch out a look for these videos that was considered the “IN” thing. Typically this includes quick cuts, fisheye shots and over the top sound effects. Some of us go dark and moody, some like to emphasise the half naked girls, whilst others concentrate on the DJ’s and the live element. Me….I like to inject a sense of humour. Afterall, that’s why we all love going out right? For the good times!

But through the last four years, there has been a real lack of a “face” for the scene. A go to guy where the would be event film makers of planet Earth can go for advice, ask questions and learn various techniques. A place where instead of tit-for-tat Facebook word games with the oposition, we can become a community and share our colective knowledge.

As EDM (that’s just normal dance music to us Brits) becomes ever more prevalent in the mainstream across the world, so does the demand for high quality, well made promotional material for promoters, DJ’s and nightclubs looking to raise their social media profile. I’ve been doing this very thing since 2007 and have amassed a pretty huge portfolio and a wealth of experience which I now intend to share with those interested in joing the party.

Naturally this being a “filmy” blog, theses tutorials and reviews will mostly be coming at you in video format. As you will no doubt find out, ethics are important to me and I will endevour to give my rawest, most honest opinions and advice on all types of live event related matters.

In turn, if there are questions you have or things you would like me to blog about then you can follow me on twitter @TPAKproductions and I will see what I can do for you.

In the mean time, take the time to take a look around my youtube channel and feel free to comment.
Thanks
