Samsung Video: The UK Developer Programme

The Brief - Come up with a teaser introduction video to show at events, with no budget ASAP.

I set about writing some scripted lines for everyone, thinking I'd splice them all together in post production, but when we started filming everyone wanted to freestyle it and say something 'like' what had been carefully written for them. Not wanting to cause any offence I let them get to it and we ended up with some good content.

Shame the lighting was appalling for the first couple of segments and the mic wasn't on for the last one... A later re-shoot and the lighting still wasn't great, but I managed to play about with the spill level and chroma keying to soften the effects on the skin. I put the audio together in Garageband - I wanted something a little funkier that would get people's feet tapping and fired up when played on a larger scale, maybe a developer event or in a bigger venue.




In the end the branding changed and the requirement for a UK specific developer programme seems to have dried up, but it was fun to make and as always I learnt a lot of production essentials.
