Filmed at Ashfield School theatre in Kirkby-in-Ashfield.

Rehearsals filmed exclusively on a Panasonic Lumix GH2, guests arriving on the day was filmed on a little Panasonic SD700

Here is something to tug on those heartstrings. “When will I be Famous” the latest dance show by Julie Shacklock is dedicating profits from the show to the “PATCHES HEART GROUP” charity, to aid the families of children born with congenital heart defects (CHD). There is about 1 sufferer in every 140 births.

Maria is the founder of the charity and is singing Somewhere Over the Rainbow on behalf of PATCHES HEART GROUP. The video shows some pictures of local children who have the disease.

Hi Energy 2012 at the Acorn theatre in Worksop, here is the behinds the scenes Rehearsal film. This film was shot exclusively on the Panasonic GH2 (20mm F1.7 Pancake lens). The haunting theme tune is something I have used before, and always send shivers down my spine when I hear it.

Because this clip contains young children, for privacy I have permission only to make this clip available on this blog and nowhere else. So sit back and enjoy two minutes of dancing bliss….

Because this film contains children please don’t use the share buttons. Thank you.

Here are some video stills from the Rehearsals of our latest dance show, Julz Hi Energy 2012 held at the Acorn Theatre in Worksop.

Filming went very well for Thoroughly Modern Millie yesterday, and today I have started the edit. I love the shot from the roof I had with the little cam and it makes the full stage dance scenes look spectacular. Sound so far from the sound desk is working well, though I have had to use a filter to stop a bit of clipping on loud parts.

I haven’t got far with editing yet as main editing starts Monday and I aim to have the edit complete by next weekend if I can put enough hours into it. The performance was fantastic as always from the Expressions college students. They’ve even made some great sets for the actors to work round. Of course, the choreography was spectacular thanks to the tutors at Expressions, especially the director Lynn Nelson.

I am enjoying editing it and at 9pm have called it a night on a high, look forward to doing more tomorrow morning before we all go out for dinner.

I’ll be heading to Expressions this morning to prepare the cameras for the show tonight. I’ve had an idea about setting up a camera to the roof to get a great shot of the stage over the heads of the audience.

Of course safety is a major issue here, I need to make sure that the camera isn’t going to fall onto someone on the tables below. I have a few ideas about attaching a safety cord so if the worst happened, at least it will not fall far.

I might also set a mic up in the rafters too directly in front of the stage in hope of a ricer sound from the dialogue. This may need a little experiment so I’ll film a little of the rehearsals to pick up the best positions.

Copies of the DVD will be available from expressions once completed. A great present for family and friends who couldn’t make it to the show. Just contact us for further details.

Here is the latest Dance Show Trailer video entitled We Love to Boogie by Staged  Door Theatre Arts! The show was filmed in Derby theatre and features Jazz, ballet, pointe and tap.

Here are some pictures taken from behind the scenes at the Julz Hi Energy show in February. All pictures are taken from the video footage recorded on my Panasonic GH2 DSLR during the rehearsals, and can be seen on the DVD of the show.

Here is the latest Expressions Promo Video for their website and to show at Movie it this weekend. Hope you enjoy. I am thinking about making a shorter version for the website.

I’ve been very busy this last week working on the Expressions Promo video for Move-it 2012. This year it’s even more dynamic with more live sound than ever before. Also this year I have made the promo a little different than before. Instead of filming lessons as such as in the past, this time I invited the students into a studio to strut their stuff in front of the camera, just to see what comes out!

Lets just say, it’s very interesting! A little over half the dancers got onto the promo video with their routines. The promo is on its 4th version and is available for Maxine to see and edit. But this close to the show lets just hope its ready to go, because I am making a little something for the casting side of things too!

So working to a three day dead line, it’s all work and no play this week!
