The Barber MovementTV series, LONDON UK
LEARN MOREWe are really happy to be film and edit this whole barber relate TV show which take place in London, UK
THE CONCEPT
World reknown Brittish Barber Jay Dabadman Adams who travelled the whole Europe, Australia, United Stated and Scandinavia and opened over 30 barbershops all around the world established the barber school.
The show follows the steps of this main characted allonside with his students who learning not just how to ut the hair, but how the whole culture works. Upsides and downsides.
The Filming
The whole journey starts in London, UK where Jay shows his dark past to one of his students, introducing him the location, the culture, the crime background of the whole United Kingdom streetlife.
There are spots where you should not go anytime. But if you grow in these parts you dont have much choise so you have to learn how to deal with it.
LOCATIONS
Through the whole series we travelled around the United Kingdom and other European countries to see how the customs and culture differs in each location. Meeting some of the Jay's past friends, colleagues, teachers, students and even grandparents.
We may see its really hard to make your own name in the rough environment of british streets.
Equipment
For this type of "rushed" filming ots necessary to have appropriate equipment, because no one going to wait for us :) So we setup the plan to use lepal microphones with separate recordes for each character a record audio non-stop each day.
For video footage there were action cams, DSLR camera for main and b-roll footage and event smartphones to catch the rest.
EDITING
You can imagine how much footage we filmed and recorded :) So the "fun" part was to sort everything, synchronize the audio with the video and then start to do the actual edit :)
Due to async script we had to categorize tons of material and then pick the right cenes for each part of each episode. resent, past and even future.
DYNAMIC SCRIPT
When you filming reality, you may have some script, but the reality always beats it. So we had to update the concepts of the show according to material we filmed.
There were lots of unexpected situations we neede to deal with and make the most of it.
PRODUCT PLACEMENT
For each episode there was the major sponsor, so we had to follow the instructions about the product placements in the episode of question.
So sometimes you see some products, services, etc. occures in the shot or even in the story and it works :) It's natural.
We are glad we could be the vital part of this project. See it by yourself :)
