Oompah Brass - New Year's Eve 2007/8
Released February 8, 2008 | Length 00:10:04

In what was possibly the most enjoyable New Year's Eve celebration ever, I was invited to watch my friend's "bavarian oompah band" perform at the Oktoberfest Pub in Fulham. They put on a great show and it was quite the night to remember - massive beer consumption by all, as well as the traditional Bavarian party antics one would expect - dancing on tables, crashing of steins, playing "hide the sausage"... awesome stuff.

I shot about 90 minutes of tape and had a great time editing that into something coherent. Although I was only using one camera I've tried to give a multi-camera feel to the whole thing which I think has worked. The song in the middle was performed several times through the evening so I was able to get lots of different angles and combine them in editing.
