Because of the legal requirements involved, these videos were set to a very strict script and posed many editing challenges of getting the actors to say the right thing whilst keeping the flow of the video as natural as possible. In addition to the edit, I designed and animated the graphics for this project, based on the 'Lessons From The Road' style guide. if(!navigator.mimeTypes['application/x-shockwave-flash'] || navigator.userAgent.match(/Android/i)!==null)Wistia.VideoEmbed('wistia_441694',640,360, http://www.dylankmercer.com/First-Songs http://www.dylankmercer.com/following/dylankmercer.com/First-Songs Mon, 01 Aug 2011 09:45:47 +0000 dkm247 1804530 First Songs is an idea to produce a Melbourne-based series about all the teenage bands out there and what they go through making their first steps into the music scene. We started by going out and filming two bands; Stonefield and Quinn, to cut the trailer together to market the series. if(!navigator.mimeTypes['application/x-shockwave-flash'] || navigator.userAgent.match(/Android/i)!==null)Wistia.VideoEmbed('wistia_310155',640,360, http://www.dylankmercer.com/William-Angliss-Institute http://www.dylankmercer.com/following/dylankmercer.com/William-Angliss-Institute Mon, 01 Aug 2011 09:43:46 +0000 dkm247 1804526 William Angliss came to the team at Catfish to make a cinema ad that would position them as the further education provider who trains you for anything outside of an office job. Filming on Red, we set up a series of scenes depicting the absence of someone in an office job. The edit was a very fast turnaround and a refreshing return for me to the intricate nature of advertisement editing, where cuts are short and every frame counts. if(!navigator.mimeTypes['application/x-shockwave-flash'] || navigator.userAgent.match(/Android/i)!==null)Wistia.VideoEmbed('wistia_310145',640,360, http://www.dylankmercer.com/SKILLED-Pit-Crew-Challenge http://www.dylankmercer.com/following/dylankmercer.com/SKILLED-Pit-Crew-Challenge Mon, 01 Aug 2011 09:43:45 +0000 dkm247 1804498 Once a year, a handful of Lucky SKILLED employes from accross the country are flown to Sydney for a weekend out at the V8 Supercars where they compete in the final round robin of the 'Pit Crew Challenge'. This was a fun project which demanded a lot of high-energy and fast-paced cutting.
