Shakeway Video Shoot May 17, 2010
Posted by admin in : Uncategorized , comments closedSecond Year FdA students were involved in the shoot for a new Pop video for Peter Dickson and the Shakettes yesterday in Southampton.
Peter Dickson or ‘Voice Over Man’, as he is best known as, is the voice of the ‘X- Factor’, “Britain’s Got Talent’ and ‘E4′. The Shakettes are three students who won a National Talent contest to form the band that would sing the new single ‘Shake It’ with Peter Dickson for the Shakeway chain of shops.
Yesterdays shoot was for the new Pop Video to promote the single, due out this summer. Over 400 dancers and many more members of the public joined in at the Marlands Shopping Centre in Southampton.
A big thanks to all the crew that turned up at 7.00am on Sunday morning and for all their hard work throughout the day. In the picture below from left to right top row Phil Beards, Natalie Shakette, Phil Peel, Peter Dickson, Billy Shakette, Christy Shakette, Elliott Trent, Front Row Mike Cosgrave, Phil Andrews, Sam Ibrahim.

Here is a making of recorded on the day by Shakeway, our version and the full pop video to come soon.

DMP Showreel May 6, 2010
Posted by admin in : Uncategorized , comments closedHello All,
I have been assigned to create a new Showreel for the course and would like to get as much variety of work as I can. Could you please bring in your work on a data dvd with all your best bits (this can be 1st, 2nd or 3rd year work) in the highest quality possible. Please leave the DVD’s on my desk (next to Phils office) with your name clearly labeled. Also if you have created any music yourself I would be very interested in using this as a backing track.
I need this work ASAP so we can get it ready to put on the site.
Thank You
Jay
PS please pass the word around.
