Dubai & Abu Dhabi

As you do I got a call from Hurricane media asking me to go and edit on location in Dubai....2 days from the time of the call. Luckily I'd had a client pull out on me for that week so I was able to confirm the booking immediately.

In Abu Dhabi I worked directly behind the main stage at the Yasalam music concerts held in conjunction with the F1 that was going on the same weekend literally next to the track.



I edited a variety of outputs from Broll for the main stage and vox-pops that was used by both BBC World news and CNN International. I also created complete polished edits for Kelly Rowland, Sean Paul, Linkin Park and Prince and worked directly on other edits including Kayne West and Gabrielle.





The job was heavily labour intense involving digitizing from EXCAM cards, transcoding, project assembly/organisation & editing of the material (as it came in so edits would be ever evolving). I was in charge of and outputting, Broll to h.264 .movs (1024x576) and Web Edits to be used for internet promotion at 1280x720 h.264 .MP4s.

Not all of the outputs have been rereleased yet so I will update as they become available. Photos of locations also to come.
Heres a start though.

Kayne West Live - I was not the primary editor on this piece however I did have direct influence and input into it:



Heres how CNN Used the Broll:
