I have already been asked by the london record label “Raskil” to interview another of their artists for a reasonable sum. I think that I will be continuing work on Untitled Promotions after I leave University considering that it has been generally well received by the artists in question. Considering I have produced the majority of content for this project I am rather proud of it as far as my work is concerned. Although I wish that the editing hadn’t taken so long and I could have spent more time towards the end on developing the website and fleshing it out a little more.
Although as I said I intend to continue work on Untitled Promotions and this most definitely won’t be the end of my work on it. Considering I have focused on digital production throughout my course I was rather glad that I was practically forced into producing some moving image for this. My original intentions have rather drastically changed throughout the production, although I think it was for the better.
It also seems like there is another unsigned artist that wants an interview, also I will be producing Kaypa’s new music video under the Untitled Promotions name. So this really as a project isn’t a completion, it’s more of simply a beginning of how I’m going to apply the skills that I’ve learned throughout this course into the world of work. And with two interviews and a rather ambitious music video in the works for the next few months, Untitled Promotions is far from over.
It has been a lot of fun interacting with artists (regardless of wether it made me quite jealous of my lack of involvement in the music production) being behind the camera and producing helpful materials for the artists has been brilliant and I couldn’t have done it nearly as well if the artists involved hadn’t given me the levels of access to their lives through the time that we were recording and shooting, although to be honest I wasn’t expecting any prima-donnas, they have been incredibly helpful and even provided me with a few good ideas along the way.
Practically working on this project on my own has also taught me a lot of organisational skills, throughout this course I haven’t really been able to keep to deadlines (And even though this project is being handed in late) Scheduling filming and networking with artists and labels has been a learning process, simply because there was no other way than to force myself into it and get over my fears of working and communicating with other professionals. Having to conduct myself in a professional way has also taught me some self confidence in the fact that not everyone involved in such an industry is nitpicking every single informality, and that my ability to produce such materials was a lot better than I thought.
