Glug Brighton

“For designers, creatives, clients and friends. Glug is for us, for everyone we know and everyone they know…”

Tired of boring networking events, this is a great event to meet people and have a few beers at the same time. In partnership with Glug London Made Studio and Studio Output, Agency Rush and Crush bring Glug to Brighton. Following the overwhelming success of the last two Glug events, a venue change was in order and we were there to capture the night, and enjoy a beer, or two…..

BKSA Round 1 – Watergate Bay

Well the start of the UK kite surf competition season was blessed with clear skies and beautiful warm weather – its a shame the wind and waves didn’t turn up! We were down in Watergate Bay all weekend, full report, video and photos will be online soon but for now some of our photos are on the BBC Cornwall Website here.

Triple S Wildcard Entry

While in Zaafarana, Egypt, we put together this Triple S Wildcard Entry video for Dan Sweeney, the UK Junior Kitesurf Champion.

“The Triple- S Invitational is the international free ride “world championships” of kiteboarding. 2010 marks the 5th year of the Triple-S Invitational, after four extremely successful Triple-S events, this has become a highly anticipated event on the pro kiteboarding calendar. Watch the world’s best kiteboarders compete in Surf, Slicks and Sliders in Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. 7 Parties, 7 Bands!”

Watch this space to see how Dan, and the video produced by Blue Juice gets on!

Creativity over technology

It’s been a pretty hectic start to 2010, and following a trip to Zaafarana in Egypt and Les Coches in France to produce a selection of video podcasts I started to realise I had to really put some serious thought to hardware and workflows if I was to make it through an already busy year of web and video production.

I consider myself pretty technically comptent, to many I am considered a techie geek – always one to embrace the latest gadgets and push them to their full potential in my work. The last two years in particular have seen real advances in the kit and technologies at our disposal – HD DSLRs, go pros, prores, proxies, LT, quad cores blah blah blah and if we are not careful we can all be at risk of going into digital overload – not seeing the wood through the trees, the creative through the technical. Technology should help take some of the pain away to let us be completely focused on creativity, it shouldn’t dictate it.

With hardly any time to catch my breath I am already making filming and web design preperations for the Cannonball Run Europe which kicks off on 4th July and three sizeable corporate web videocasts scheduled in May. Rather than think about what technology I have at my disposal first, I am instead going to bust out the pad and pencil. (NB not an iPad!)

Great concepts and ideas come from not being tied to a gadget, so after completing this post the iPhone is going off.
