Last night I went to my second Bug – an evening of music videos hosted by Adam Buxton.

Regular readers (all 3 of you…) may remember the last time I went to bug – I was inspired by Garth Jennings to make three videos (more on that next… year…). This bug was no less inspiring, but also a little frustrating – to the point where I’m about to raid my savings and buy myself a new camera (to replace my burgled one…).

In a moment of Celebrity wowdem, I found myself sitting almost directly behind Edgar Wright. So I sent him a little tweet with this picture attached:

Edgar Wright

He has not yet responded.

And here are my highlights from the evening (apart from the heckling drunk woman, who has not yet been featured in a music video):

Enough. I’ve been distilling my brain in alcohol all summer. It’s time to get busy.

Saw Adam Buxton at Bug last night with Jason. Adam interviewed Garth Jennings, who has made videos for R.E.M., Beck, Radiohead and more. What I took away from the evening was to keep things simple. One concept per video, no more!

Here is a cheeky picture I snapped of Garth. Adam is unfortunately hidden behind someone’s head…

In the pub afterwards Jason spewed ideas for music videos all over me, which distilled down to three solid concepts:

1. Performance piece for rock band involving time experiments

2. Looping video piece

3. Motion tracking / colour cube mask ideas

Yes those titles are vague, but I don’t want to give too much away! Over the coming months we’ll have more to show you.

Stay tuned….
