LBM @ Emotion Wave

LBM was asked to do some filming for the independent Electronic music night Emotion Wave. Here are the results in this short promo video.

Another piece of equipment available for hire from LBM

LBM Has just purchased the Kessler Pocket Jib.  The pocket jib is a great tool for the videographer/film maker who wants a cinematic effect to the film but has limited space and only a small crew/single person shooter to work with.  The jib is light with multiple counter balance points and can be carried by a single individual, perfect for DSLR/mirrorless shooters.  Check out our equipment hire section for more details.

(Below) is a snipet from a recent shoot using the jib which will give you an idea to some of the shots you can achieve. 

 

Baltic Clay

LBM has been working with a local ceramics studio collective Baltic Clay on raising awareness of their organisation and documenting their different practices and events.  Lately we have been working on their most recent event at the Liverpool Light Night titled 'Clay Lab'.  The event lasted throughout the whole of Light Night.  Baltic Clay encouraged anyone to drop into their studios for this family friendly event.  They asked the public to participate in a changing clay sculpture.  After receiving 100 bags of clay, the public were asked to shape, mould and sculpt the mound into whatever they wanted.  LBM was on hand to document this non permanent  creation throughout each stage through video documentation, vox pop interviews, photography and timelapse.  Below is the 1st stage of the edit the photography with video edit to follow.

LBM has a new toy that is available for hire

LBM Has just purchased the Edelkrone slider.  The slider is battery powered and can give you consistent automated results for slider shots, panning , time-lapse and stop motion animation.

Check out the video below, it shows a small selection of shots from a recent shoot that demonstrates the smoothness of the slider.
