About the Project

Duration:

6 months

Overview

De Delvers were one of clients of my Freelance business Pixel Brand. They are a Belgian Dutch singing postpunk - new wave band. They were looking for someone that could record and edit their video content to promote their music on their social channels.

Over a period of 6 months I recorded several of their videos and photographed the band:

  • Roadtrip "in het spoor van De Delvers"
  • Their video clip of their single "Poolnacht"
  • Live performance at Cinema Plaza Duffel
  • Their Siglo XX Cover videos
Roles
Lead Designer
Photographer
Video Editor
Videographer
Sound Designer

The Challenge

  • Gain more followers via social media.
  • increase their bookings per year.
  • Have extra content they could use for their social media & website.
  • Record their video clip Poolnacht while keeping their vision intact.

The Proccess

  • Recording: We Recorded several hours of footage on different location. The biggest challenge was capturing the right atmosphere for the videoclip of Poolnacht.
  • Photography: Photoshoot of the Band.
  • Post editing: As usual I started by going through and filtering all the footage on usability and quality. Next I created their HD videos and synced their audio on to the video.
  • Special FX: I created several special Effects for their videoclip to give the impression it was recorded on Super 8mm film.

Key Learnings

Filming with a DSLR camera at night or dark places is a real challenge to keep a decent quality; equipment does matter.

The Outcome

  • The videos we made together are among the most watched on their YouTube channel.
  • Thanks to the abundance of content they were able to post new content during the Covid pandemic and increase their online pressence.
  • The band's pictures I took were used in several articles including on HLN (Het Laatste Nieuws) one of the biggest Belgian news outlets.
