Directed by IMM
IMM is a charity that believes in passing the christian message to people located around the world in mining communities. For this film I was invited to travel to Ethiopia and film the experiences of Vicky Yorke as she met with pastors and churches in the south of the country.
As well as the edit I did audio, colour correction, titles and voice over work.
The final film was burned onto DVD and given out to members at an IMM international conference.
A large portion of the footage was filmed on an iPhone 8 Plus using filmic pro.

Ethiopia 2005, Video #1
Details
Back in 2005 I spent three months in Ethiopia helping on a charity project. I was filming clips of my experiences and wanted to share them with my family.
I had a windows laptop with a copy of Windows Movie Maker. Using this I pieced together the footage I had, using music to make these short music videos. This was the first one I ever did, and shows my first ever experience of editing a video.
It was eventually joined with a six others over the month of February making a thirty minute long video. This was burned on to VCD and sent home to my parents as a surprise. It was immediately shown to friends and members of their church who were supporting me.
This video will always be special to me, while I didn’t dive deeper into editing for many years after this, it shows where my initial interest began.
