It was last week when we were visited by the creative whizz Eugene Riecansky. He showed us a video compiled with samples of videos and photography that he had produced for clients including Prodigy and Madonna. I was so inspired and taken aback with how down to earth and normal he seemed for someone that has had so much success. He said about costs and budgets of music videos nowadays that they work in the region of £10,000 to £15,000 and explained where the money is spent. It was really cool to hear someone from the actual business talk about their ideas and experiences and problems and accomplishments. It's helped to confirm that creativity isn't just a hobby and I came out of his speech with a burst of new ideas for my music video. Also, he has set the task of coming up with a video idea for one of his clients songs "Do You Mind" by Betty Curse. Watch this space...
So, Eugene came back to hear our ideas. There were only a few of us and Lizzy and I were very nervous and felt slightly unprepared. We listened in on a few idea pitches, and thought the competition was intense! There were a lot of different creative ideas and Eugene seemed to love them all! Our idea in a nutshell; was having Betty at a high school prom dressed up as a normal girl and then her night takes a turn for the worse and she ends up looking like her gothic self and goes on a rampage with her band mates trashing the neighbourhood. He seemed very enthusiastic and said that he may keep this idea stored for the future! :)
