Generally when commencing a new studio within the course, I like to set out a statement of intent. This helps to envision the steps I need to take to further myself on both a personal and creative level throughout the semester. I’d like to take the opportunity throughout Egg Hunting to the development of my critical literacy of aspects in cinematography and film composition. Music Video as a platform to achieve this was of high interest to me due to many years as a Musician, Music Producer, DJ, Community Broadcast Host/Producer and Web Series Producer. Hopefully I will be able to draw on all of these past elements and past study to create something which I can actively promote for my portfolio and future connections. The Introductory video to my Youtube Channel can be found here;

The ‘Ride With It’ concept has been in production for approximately 1 year. It has given me the opportunity to branch out into the creative music sphere within Melbourne (especially surrounding artists from a Hip-Hop/Beats background) Ideally I’d like to build upon this concept and/or create new music based channels. I’d like to place a lot of dedication in researching the techniques used by director Romain Gavras. I’m always drawn to the exuberance and impact of his approach to music videos, both on an intellectual and aesthetic level. Concepts which I will explore in PB2 when I perform a critical analysis of his music video of ‘Gosh by Jamie XX.’

Furthermore extending the opportunities of creative collaboration has always been something I have wished to pursue and develop. I’d like to broaden my contacts/networks within RMIT and solidify my ability as a Producer.
