OMG Everywhere Announces Free Film Workshops For Kids This Summer

Today marks the OMG Everywhere organization’s launch of their 2013 Summer Sessions, a series of film workshops, free of cost to student participants, designed to give kids an opportunity to experiment creatively, develop artistically and learn new skills in a collaborative environment with established music video directors.  The pilot program began in Los Angeles in 2011 and is now expanding its reach to include New York City and London.

One continuous take from the POV of a woman on a date with The Public Trust singer Mike Rossi.

And there's propbably a great making-of backstory of how they shot this with a Panasonic GH3

Editor Jacquelyn London has shaped many a music video from her bay, so it's not a surprise to see her name pop up as a director. Here she compiled an On The Road video for Bon Jovi, combining BTS she shot, with live footage and conceptual content that runs on the band's projection screens.
