Our Wedding!

2010-08-08T12:21:00.000-07:00

What happens when a wedding videographer gets married to a wedding photographer? Well that's exactly what happened when we got married on July 16th!
Thankfully we were able to hand over the camera and video camera to our colleagues and friends for the day and then produce the wedding film from the footage shot. We got married at Old Wardour Castle near Tisbury, Wiltshire, and had our reception at Cleeve House in Seend, and enjoyed a fantastic wedding day with our closest family and friends - from England and Germany.

Watch the film here:

This is only a test post, as we are currently discussing the Creative and Media Diploma Unit 6 (Digital Technologies) and looking at methods for documenting the students work. This process sure does have its advantages, especially in terms of a safe storage location. Having delivered several sessions and workshops on the unit last year, I'm looking forward to working with the new Year 11s this September.

Shiny New Trophy!

An enjoyable day at the Shortwave Cinema in London yesterday was topped off by 3 Lions picking up the award for Best Documentary at the Kicks n Flicks Film Festival.

The 2006 England fan documentary was really well received by the audience in the South London cinema and was given the top award by a panel from the Football Supporters Federation and the Film Council. And it looks like World Cup Fever is certainly here, ready for the new tournament to kick off in South Africa next month.

If you haven't seen the film yet or want to get your hands on a copy, or would simply like to support the project, then 3 Lions is available to buy on DVD for only £5, including postage. You can buy it using paypal by clicking on the link at the bottom of the Ivisualise Player homepage: http://www.ivisualise.de/ivisplayer.htm

FC Magdeburg... BLAUWEISS!

2010-04-09T01:26:00.000-07:00

As we approach the end of the football season and things get interesting in the Premier League, the Regionalliga in Germany is looking like a season to forget for FC Magdeburg, with no chance of promotion. However, a couple of seasons ago things were far more interesting as the club went on a roller coaster of a season and were on the brink of promotion to the Bundesliga 2nd Division.... and I got to experience it too as I was documenting their season with the film "Blauweiss".

This week on the Ivisualise player homepage there is an exclusive extra from the limited edition DVD release of Blue and White: The Extras. This 5 minute film looks at the premiere of the stunning FC Magdeburg football documentary "Blauweiss" at the Theater Magdeburg, to a packed audience in 2007.

The tickets to the premiere and 3 subsequent nights were sold out before the event was advertised and a further 4 screenings were organised at the Moritzhof in Magdeburg, a FCM fan day... and the film was screened at the 11mm International Film Festival.

Es gibt noch ein paar DVDs vom Film Blauweiss. Sie kosten 12,50 Euro inklusiv Versand innerhalb Europas. Und sie bekommen "3 Lions" auf DVD gratis dazu! Also jetzt bestellen per Email und das Fußballfieber nochmal erleben - jamie@ivisualise.co.uk

Es gibt ein 10 minutigen extrakt von der Film auf der folgende Seite: www.ivisualise.co.uk/blauweiss/

Football's coming home!

2010-03-02T02:21:00.001-08:00

This week on the Ivisualise Player I'm returning to one of my favourite films and hobbies... yes football!

On the homepage is a 5 minute England fan documentary at the World Cup 2002 in Japan. This footage was all shot by Steve Thornton at the World Cup in Japan and edited by Jamie McDine, released as a bonus extra feature on the critically acclaimed "3 Lions, 23 Players & 100,000 Friendly Fans" World Cup 2006 DVD.

3 Lions is perhaps the work I am most proud of, due to it's success, film duration, the amount of time it took to produce, the way it looks and the fact I did pretty much everything! From cameraman, to editing, directing, script writing, the lot!

The film was completely funded out of my own pocket, so please support the film by buying a copy of 3 Lions on DVD for just £5 including postage inside Europe (or £7 inc postage outside Europe). Click the link at the bottom of the Ivisualise Player home page to pay by paypal http://www.ivisualise.de/ivisplayer.htm. Football fever guaranteed!

"3 Lions, 23 Players & 100,000 Friendly Fans" has been screened at the 11mm International Film Festival, British Council's 'Dreams and Teams', Nachtcafé Britspotting and at special events across Germany. Buy it now and get ready for the excitement of World Cup 2010 in South Africa this Summer!

As for this 'extra' on the DVD. It is an interesting insight into a group of England Fans as they travel around Japan, meeting plenty of friendly locals, as well as a few famous faces, including Terry Butcher. Personally I love the line "Who ate all the Sushi"!!

*****
On a different note, Jackie just shot a beautiful wedding for Jonathan and Tracey on Saturday and a selection of the pictures are now available to view on her website. Please take a look (and pass the link on to anyone who may be getting married in Wiltshire, Bath or Somerset and needs a photographer!) : http://www.ivisualise.co.uk/photography/gallery.html

Year 7 Self Portrait Animation

2010-02-15T14:05:00.000-08:00

Another week and another film has been added to the Ivisualise Player. This time it's a film produced in 2010, so it's brand new, and by one of my groups I am teaching as part of my 'artist in residence' role at Matravers School in Westbury.

A Year 7 self portrait animation project I led together with the class art teacher David Oakley. This film was produced in a 2 hour session with the group of 25 students, who all worked in small groups of 2 or 3 to animate their own self portraits, using pen on acetate and handheld digital cameras to capture that flowing movement.
http://www.ivisualise.de/portrait.htm

The kids are a joy to work with and they really got to grips with the concept of animation and working in their teams very quickly. We are now working together to produce an animated film version of Shakespeare's "The Tempest" which is very exciting.

The animation is cut to a beautiful track by Athlete "I Love". Visit: www.athlete.mu/home

Exclusive Begbie live and acoustic video

2010-01-29T01:40:00.000-08:00

Begbie are the latest feature on the Ivisualise Player. No, not that one from Trainspotting, but the excellent Indie band from Magdeburg in Germany. If you don't already know them, then check them out, before the debut album is released later this year! Head on over to: www.myspace.com/begbieband for a listen

As for the video on the Ivisualise Player, Schöne and Koss perform the title song from the stunning football documentary "Blauweiss". This was recorded in front of the Hundertwasser 'Grüne Zitadelle' in Magdeburg city centre in 2007.

This music video was an exclusive extra on the very limited edition bonus DVD (only a magical 74 were ever made) that came with the film "Blauweiss". A full version of the song was later recorded and released on the Heartdisco label, under the title "Blue and White".

"Blauweiss" is a critically acclaimed epic documentary that follows FC Magdeburg and their quest for promotion to the second division in the German Bundesliga. Full of emotion, passion and action, this 105 minute film leaves supporters teary eyed as they reflect upon the season that they came so very close. For more information, please visit: www.ivisualise.co.uk/blauweiss/

I love it towards the end when it goes a bit quiet and if you listen carefully you can hear the tram in the background, as well as the guy who shouts out "Große Klasse, wirklich"! There were a couple of builders who were working on some houses behind the camera and they stopped briefly whilst we recorded the video and seemed to really enjoy it! (the song that is, although I'm sure they enjoyed the quick break as well!)

the artist, new films and wedding photography!

2010-01-18T06:15:00.000-08:00

I hope you all had a great Christmas and enjoyed the snow. It's a New Year and I've begun a new job, as 'artist in residence' at Matravers School. It's very enjoyable working with kids aged 11-18 on a variety of subjects and projects, delivered mainly through film, animation and photography, and working with some particularly motivated and talented staff. If you'd like to read more, there is an article online here:
http://www.wiltshiretimes.co.uk/news/4853422.Jamie_goes_back_to_school_at_Westbury/

One animated film I made with Year 11 students last year (Too Much Too Young) was shown at a film festival in India last week and will be shown at the Preloader festival in Wiltshire next month. The film is in the archive on the Ivisualise Player if you'd like to watch it. And the featured film on the site this week is an animation with the local community in Westbury at a taster day:
http://www.ivisualise.de/ivisplayer.htm

Whilst I have been adding to my portfolio and range of services (I now produce beautiful wedding videos in Wiltshire, Bath and Somerset), Jackie is also working as a portrait and wedding photographer, shooting and editing wedding photos for a very competitive (cheap) rate! Check out some of her work and information here:
http://www.ivisualise.co.uk/photography/

As always, if you know of anyone getting married, who may be interested in our work, or may just enjoy watching the odd film for free, then please pass this email on. I'd also love to see some of your feedback or the odd message on the guest book of the website, or on each individual video via the Vimeo link.

On days when I am not at school, I am currently producing corporate films and commercial work, as well as delivering workshops for various organisations and schools, so if you have a project or an idea, then please do get in touch!

Best wishes for a happy and healthy 2010,
Jamie

Happy Christmas and new website!

2009-12-18T09:41:00.001-08:00

I'd just like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has visited and supported the Ivisualise Player and my work over the past few months. There will be plenty more added to the site in 2010, so keep coming back and please spread the word about the site!
There is a little animated plasticine Christmas message on the home page this week to enjoy, so please check it out HERE

I wish you all a happy and healthy 2010 and hope it is an exciting and enjoyable one for us all.

Having worked within documentary, short film, music video, corporate and community film for the past 10 years I will also be moving into a slightly new area next year as I will be producing wedding videos. After these copious years of experience of shooting, directing, editing and DVD mastering of projects for various clients around the globe, I'm looking forward to putting my film talents to the use of creating beautiful wedding films.

Having been to friends weddings recently and researched into wedding videographers, it's quite scary to see the quality (or lack of it) of films that are being produced (and for large sums of money). Which is why I am now offering my professional expertise, so that people have something beautiful to cherish and remember forever from their special day - and for a reasonable price.

I have just uploaded the new website for it here: www.wiltshireweddingvideo.info
Please check it out, let me know what you think and spread the word to anyone you know who is getting married!

Thank you and best wishes,

Teenage Pregnancy Animation now online!

2009-12-08T02:24:00.000-08:00

The animation "Too Much Too Young" is now available to watch on the Ivisualise Player. The film, which addresses the subject of teenage pregnancy, was produced by Year 11 students at Matravers School in Westbury.

This animation combines stop frame, photography and pixelation to tell a story about teenage pregnancy.

The film was made during a work experience placement, with the 6 kids involved planning their film, scriptwriting, designing their characters and backgrounds as well as going out around the town with stills cameras. The project was mentored by Jamie McDine.

The film was recently screened at the festival Creative Juice and has been used within the school to help teachers and students address teenage pregnancy.

Check it out at: www.ivisualise.de

Weiter... auf der Ivisualise Player

2009-10-12T03:21:00.000-07:00

Ian Brown has been moved into the archive, along with all the other films previously featured on the Ivisualise Player, to be enjoyed forever and replaced on the homepage by the multi-award winning short film "Weiter".

"Weiter" tells the story of Somsak Kitdee, a young man from Thailand, and his relationship with the city of Magdeburg. Studying in a different culture, on a different continent and in a different language, he explains how his homeland and the former East German city are not so different.

This 3 minute film was produced in 2005 to celebrate the 1200th birthday of the city of Magdeburg. It won several local and regional film awards, including the prestigious "Mitteldeutsche Rundfunkpreis" and was used to represent the city, as well as being screened twice on national television channel MDR. It was used as a promotional film for the city in cinemas, online and on cable television in Germany as well as being screened at international film festivals!

Hopefully you either understand the Thai spoken in the film or German subtitles... if not, then simply enjoy the visuals and the sound, of the music and Kitdee's voice!

One of the most satisfying responses to the film has been from my friends and fellow inhabitants of the city of Magdeburg (where I lived for 4 years) who kept telling me "I can't believe that's Magdeburg... it looks so cool in your film!" And that's the point of the film - it was to take a very different look at the city, from a point of view that maybe the local inhabitants haven't thought of or seen before. Their city is now just like any modern major city in the world, with a fantastic transport system, neon lights, shops and architecture, international visitors and residents... and above all, very friendly welcoming people.

Ian Brown Kiss Ya Lips (No I.D.) Music Video

2009-09-26T12:13:00.000-07:00

To celebrate the launch of his new album "My Way", we have something very special from the Ivisualise archives, featuring my favourite singer Ian Brown.

In 2004 I produced the official website for Ian Brown and his album "Solarized" which had 4 million hits in the first 3 weeks! As well as designing and programming the site, I also helped manage the message board and produced video content for the site.

In 2005 many fans submitted artwork, illustrations, animations, photographs and videos, all to represent Ian Brown's Kiss Ya Lips (No I.D.) which I edited and produced. This was an excellent community project and really brought together the creative skills of fans from across the world.

Ian loved the video, but until now it has been unseen by the fans. So now it finally appears in all it's glory on the Ivisualise Player. Thanks and well done to everyone whose work features in the video.

And please check out and buy Ian's fantastic new album "My Way". BUY IT HERE

The kids are highly animated!

2009-09-12T10:51:00.000-07:00

This week on the Ivisualise Player is a 90 second compilation of pixelations produced with students from a variety of Wiltshire Schools, all studying the Creative and Media Diploma. The "First Animations" were produced as part of an introduction to the creative and media world and in particular to my work as an independent producer and film maker.

The session was both creative and hands on, with all 60 new diploma students involved in the production of the animation - both in front of the camera, and also behind it controlling the animation software and setting up the camera etc.

It is always fun for me to work with young people, passing on my skills, techniques and mentoring or teaching them in producing their own work. Whilst in Magdeburg, Germany, I led 2 film courses for Year 12 students at the Hegel Gymnasium and the IGS Regina Hildebrandt, each 5 month project culminating in a cinema screening of the student produced films. To see the wonderful films and the reactions from all the students involved made it a thoroughly amazing experience, especially as they presented their films on the big screen in front of their family, friends and general public. Films produced during these projects will be added to the Ivisualise Player at a later date.

So for now, enjoy the pixelations and keep checking back as more films are added to the site! If you are viewing this blog on a standalone page, please visit: www.ivisualise.de

Jewish Berlin on the Ivisualise Player

2009-08-30T00:10:00.000-07:00

The sensitive and emotional film "Jewish Berlin: Yesterday and Today" documents the visit of 20 members of the UK Jewish community to the city of Berlin. For most it was their first visit to Germany, and a place where they met a new generation of Germans, who were very friendly and welcoming.

During the four day trip to the capital they met local Jews and visited Jewish memorials, institutions and spoke with prominent German Jewish personalities. Among the sites visited were the Jewish Museum, the Holocaust Memorial and the Wannsee Conference Villa as well as the Grunewald Memorial and Touro College.

The film was commissioned by the German National Tourist Office, London (DZT) and produced by Jamie McDine in 2008. The aim of the trip, and the film, was to promote the concept of visiting Jewish Germany to the UK Jewry.

The full 20 minute version of the film is now available to watch on the Ivisualise Player, full screen and uninterrupted.

We'd love to hear your feedback on the film, the other films and this site, so please post a message on the message board, send us an email or drop a reply on the blog - or for those of you who are signed up to Vimeo, you can 'Like' the films too!

Enjoy the film and enjoy the rest of the Summer,
Jamie

Triple award winner Sehnsucht now online!

2009-08-17T01:27:00.000-07:00

Triple award winning experimental short film 'Sehnsucht' was made in 2004 in the city of Magdeburg and was Jamie McDine's first film produced in German. Fear not though, it does come with full English subtitles!

The film's fans include musician Ian Brown, who supplied the soundtrack for the film. He also particularly liked the way a few of his lyrics had been sneaked into the script of the film, which talks about destiny and circumstance, actions and consequences. The film was produced during a heavily Ian Brown inspired time, as Jamie was producing his official website and video interviews for the release of the outstanding 'Solarized' album. If you don't own it, buy it here!

'Sehnsucht', translates to 'Yearning', and picked up awards at film festivals in Germany and Siberia in 2004 and 2005. First was the Jugendvideopreis Sachsen-Anhalt Publikumspreis, followed by the Nachtcafé Short Film prize and finally it made the trip to the Murmansk Film Festival in Siberia.

Sehnsucht concentrates upon our main female character, played by Claudia Janke, as we watch her interaction with the others around her and hear her thoughts. The audio narrative of the film runs forwards, but the visual narrative runs backwards giving the viewer a whole new perspective upon their actions and the consequences they have. Confused? Check it out and all will become clear!

The film also stars Jerome Mullan and Thorsten Schultz, together with the voice of Katharina Peter, all from the English Theatre Company in Magdeburg, with the kind support and assistance of Kate Sturrock.

Ivisualise Player Launched with Just Jack

2009-08-02T08:21:00.000-07:00

The Ivisualise Player has finally been launched, and to celebrate the forthcoming release of his new album "All night Cinema", we decided it would be fitting to kick-off with the previously unseen film "Just Jack: The Outer Marker."

The film was shot with Jack back in 2003, with the live performances recorded at London's famous Jazz Café, and the intimate interview recorded a few days later backstage in Bristol. Jack was a delight to work with, and had a good understanding of cameras, shooting and what we were trying to achieve, thanks to his background in tv production - as he used to be a Runner.

The project came about as a result of my work with Ian Brown. His manager (at the time) gave me a few CDs of other bands he represented, and Jack's was the standout album that literally blew the others away. After listening to it over and over, and becoming a big fan of the record, I desperately wanted to work with Jack, so approached him with the idea of producing the rockumentary style film.

His manager had similar thoughts, as Jack was searching for a record deal in the US and several labels wanted to see how he performed live, so a DVD which showed off his personality and onstage talents seemed to fit the bill nicely.

It worked. Within months he was selling records stateside and recording his second album, after a transfer to the Mercury label. "Starz in their Eyes" made Jack a household name and I hope that the film I shot helped play some role in this truly great talent being where he deserves.
