Light in the World, 2022, song by Andrew Collins, sung by Angel, video edited by Tara Kent, stock footage from storyblocks.com, 1080 × 1920, duration 00:04:45

I was hired to make a video accompaniment for this Christmas song that was made to raise funds for the repair and rebuild of All Saints Church, Mudeford, which burned down in July 2022.

Initially, I was asked to use footage of the church on fire, however I felt these images could be portrayed in the wrong way with the lyric, "light up the world" so we agreed that different footage would be best.

The client then asked me to take images and footage of the aftermath, from the internet, and use them in a video reel style. I was able to convince the client that the best course of action was to use stock footage to avoid copyright violation. This also allowed me to steer the emotions of the viewer to create a storyline that would encourage donations to the cause.

This project involved a careful selection of footage and much more cutting than I expected. It took me 3 days to complete.


Russell Brand Clip 01, 2022, video edited by Tara Kent, footage supplied by Russell Brand, 1080 × 1920, duration 00:05:39

This clip was made using an uncut video of 1:21:19, supplied by Russell Brand, with instructions to create two or more clips in his usual style in a 48 hour period. Unfortunely I only had a 12 hour window to create them both before submitting.

If I had more time I would have removed some cuts and replaced them with footage with a more uniformed background for continuiety purposes. I had hoped to show off some of my own area of specialty, glitch art, within the piece however I did not have enough time to do so. Maybe next time.
