The student elections at Glyndwr University were bigger than ever this year, with all of the candidates doing as much as they could to make themselves noticed. I was approached by the current Vice-President, Laura Lawson, to help her with her re-election campaign. She also had Tobias Perks and Rachel Bloomer as part of her campaign team. The first thing they wanted was a 'Harlem Shake' style video. Harlem Shake is a song by Bauer that became a YouTube sensation, with many parodies being made of the iconic video. The original plan was to have all of the candidates present. However, it was only Rachel, Tobias and Laura that turned up, alongside some of their supporters.
This was one of the most enjoyable filming experiences I have ever had. It was fun and laid back. We decided to do the Harlem Shake dance in a variety of places. It took around an hour to finish the filming. I then had the job of editing and uploading to our YouTube channel on the same night. It was easy enough to edit due to how straightforward the filming was. I managed to get the whole thing turned around and distributed within 4 hours. I am very proud of this achievement. However, when uploading to YouTube, the quality of the HD footage was compromised.
