UK Music Video Awards. 12th October 2010.

The UK Music Video Awards return to the Odeon West End in London’s Leicester Square on October 12 2010 to celebrate creativity, technical excellence and innovation in music video and moving image for music.

There are a wide range of opportunities for UK individuals and companies to enter their work: from genre-led video categories, to prizes for individuals in the technical and craft areas of the business, to recognition for innovative approaches to music videos, ads and other visuals. There are also awards for international videos and outstanding individuals, voted for by the MVA jury members.
Judging and voting will begin in August, with the final shortlists unveiled in September. If you would like to enter one of the awards, you have until 3rd August to do so.

Notorious Hi Fi Killers. “More Again Now”

Miland Suman directed, edited and animated “More Again Now”, a Monkeys-esque music video for the Notorious Hi Fi Killers. Filmed on a Canon 5D with a crew of 12, most of whom were part of the art department, Miland and his team created a magical undersea world and other trippy environments all within the band’s rehearsal space. He did a second stills shoot to capture images of the band members and their instruments so they could be transformed into puppet-like animations. Back at Locomotion, Miland composited and animated with After Effects and graded using Color Finesse.
