2001 seen the need to expand the Pearshaped brand. A young production guru 'Smudger' joined the ranks from a rival production company that had some guy called Jolly (Not Dom, obviously). The chemistry was electric, the ideas flowed freely and the explosive Pearshaped experience began to flourish. Result - Gangster Video was born. "Best idea for a university promo video ever" one big wig was quoted as saying.....
This video was produced by me and Max Bainton as part of a 3rd year university project. It is a promotional video for the university's media and technology deparment. Max and I worked together on location and in post production. I did most of the editing and all of the graphics work while Max did more of the planning and paperwork.
