New Trailer for No Apologies

Posted by Phil On May - 31 - 2012

My son Mike, who’s recently qualified as an FCP X  Advanced Trainer, has just sent me this trailer for his film “No Apologies”, which I lit and shot for him last summer. I’m pleased with the lighting, which wasn’t easy covering a five way conversation in a big blank hotel room.
It’s written by my good friend Ken Hammond. Not only did Mike produce, direct and edit, he also cooked and served the best food I’ve ever had on location. 🙂

Directed, Produced & Edited by Michael Peel
Written by Ken Hammond
Director of Photography- Phil Peel

How to make a half million hits YouTube video.

Posted by Phil On May - 31 - 2012

Now Everybody Stand In Line by L&O Featuring Valentine & Dretonio is now on ITunes, Amazon and HMV and the video has had probably 750,000 hits in its various different versions.

So it all started on a local football pitch and we ended up being interviewed by ITV News crew outside the Emirates Stadium and number one in the US dance charts.

Here’s a “behind the scenes doco” of the football, studio recordings, video shoot and news coverage of Now Everybody Stand In Line Football Anthem by L&O. + preview of new Ibiza mix.

Filmed in River Studios, Meadow Farm Studio and Liquid night club.
featuring producer/football manager Gary Louca, singers Dretonio, Valentine, Chris Todd and dance crew & sound engineer Olli Daddarn
Camera crew Mike Peel, Jude Peel and Robin Wheeler.
BUY the track and whole package of club hits NOW AT iTunes http://itunes.apple.com/gb/preorder/now-everybody-stand-in-line-ep/id500556074

 

The music video was all shot on a Panasonic GH2 with Pentax Super Takumar 1.7 lens and the Panasonic 14-140 zoom lens.

The making of video was mostly shot on a little Pansonic TZ7 camera.
