A little Canadian Folk Song


... which I never knew existed until this project. Thanks to this lady for enlightening me through the art of burlesque!


Burlesque serves as a cultural education too!

Backstage

Just some footage roughly cut together.

Pippie Hotstocking footage from LBF

I have created a youtube channel for uploading clips from my project.

Here is rough edit I made from one of the performances. The whole routine will not appear in the finished piece, but it gave me a good idea of which bits of footage I want to use. Also, I haven't yet put the sequence through Colour, as you can see, the red lighting used at the venue caused me some issues with the camera levels & w/b.

A taster from backstage @ LBF!





Russian News Report!

Filming at LBF was fantastic. I finally got the backstage footage I've been wanting from the outset of this project! Have just captured it all to the comp.(Full report on the LBF trip to come later)

On another note though... through an acquaintance I made at The Eccentrics Club meeting (on my last trip to London to interview Equador) I have come across this Russian news report from the same evening (there was another camera crew present, and now I know who they were). If you watch closely, Equador makes an appearance towards the end... I was set up right next to this camera guy shooting the same thing.

Recently tweeted by Dita herself:

"Time to go home & recover. Corset-lace cuts on all my fingers, corset-burns on my back, bruises...burlesque is SO glamorous!"

Why did no one show me this before?

I <3 multiclip editing! Something I learned in one of my one-to-one sessions at the Apple store, is how best to edit something shot from multiple cameras! And I wish I'd learned this long ago as it has made my life so much easier and is saving me immense amounts of time.

Caught in the act!

"The Naked Truth"

....possible title?

London Burlesque Festival


Equador has kindly invited me back to London to shoot at this year's LBF! Not sure if it's a bit close to the deadline tho. Here is a link to LBF website, to give a gist of what it is exactly.
