Christmas

Hey, quick update on all things G6.

Christmas is quickly approaching the Scottish capital of Edinburgh and I want to document the epic transition into the sparkling Christmas mode. I'm going to capture the construction of the vast german market and the magical winter wonderland complete with big wheel. The epic number of Christmas lights that cling to the many trees of the Gardens and lamposts of the entire city will all be shown. Even the exciting window displays of the prime shopping destination: Princes Street.

What I really just want to portray in what I'm calling a poetic documentary, is the exciting atmosphere that is created when all the decorations come out of that box. And judging by the weather just now; we could be looking at some snow adding to the sparkle of the tinsel.

As always with a G6 production we are constantly experimenting with new technology (to us anyway) and trying to do something creative. This film will feature our very first time lapse and also be shot completely on DSLRs, specifically the Canon 650d.

Taking part in the shoot is as always me (Oliver Watson) and Michael Dodds.
