Title: Milli Vanilli - Nice N Easy
Title: Nice and Easy
A video that I created for my A-Level art exam project.
Theme: 'Transitions'
Song: Soldier's Poem - Muse
Exam Time: 12 hours
Editing Software: Final Cut Studio Pro
(Please click 'watch in high quality' [beneath 'Views'] to watch!)
The video is projected in the final piece alongside a second video projection of five pieces of fruit rotting, which can be found under the following link:

-----
The exam piece, centred around the theme of 'Transitions', takes its inspiration from the short movie Evolution, produced by Ogilvy & Mather as part of the 'Campaign For Beauty' by cosmetics giant, Dove. Whilst the concept has been extracted, the style and motion of this video is vastly different from that of Dove's.
The project combines two entirely separate transitions: time-lapsed rotting fruit, and a stylized video of an ordinary woman being transformed into a beautiful model for a cosmetics company. These two seemingly bizarre transitions present a stark contrast of 'synthetic' transition against 'organic' transition, and highlight the differences between each. As the fruit both rots and then replenishes, the viewer is left with an ambiguous interpretation as to how this parallels the video. On the one hand, the time-reversed clip of the natural decayed mess blossoming into plush, unblemished fruit parallels the face in the video by becoming falsely beautified and idealized. The fruit itself is, indeed, artificially enhanced by supermarkets who attempt to give an ideal image to their products with the use of synthetic pesticides and preservatives. On the other hand, the rotting of the fruit marks a deterioration of reality, a decay of moral values and honesty, and is representational of what occurs behind the ideal process of making-up models used as portrayals of 'ideal' beauty. The words of the song, which state "there's no justice in the world", reflect this view. The entire video shows how the 'ideal' beauty is not ideal by self-infliction, due to its artificiality.
The title, 'Nice and Easy', the hair company supposedly being advertised for in the video, holds the implication that beauty on the face of advertising is both effortless and pleasant. The content of the video contradicts its own title as it displays how the beauty is actually backed by an extensive procedure of transformation by make-up as well as digital editing. The smooth, transitional style of the video, with gentle fades, seamless transitions between clips and a smooth backing track, exemplifies the fluidity of the transition. The style is both surreal, as the entire process seems beyond reality, and serene, as an ironic backdrop to the horrible truth of the beauty industry. The final scene comments on how universal this truth is, as the individual face finally becomes part of an anonymous 'ideal' lost in a sea of other similar package fronts. The piece also questions the reality of this ideal image, as the final face is so different from the original after such an elaborate transition.

Title: They Don't Speak English But They Love To Dance - Sandakan, Malaysia (orangutan tail)
A TripAdvisor™ TripWow video of a travel blog to Sandakan, Malaysia by TravelPod blogger Jmo. See this TripWow and more at http://tripwow.tripadvisor.com/tripwow/ta-00c0-0d02-c807?ytv4=1
They Don't Speak English But They Love To Dance "Greetings from Borneo, It has been a really busy couple weeks since we left the beautiful, relaxing beaches of Cambodia for the steamy jungles of Malaysian Borneo. But after two full days of travel by motorbike, bus, airplane, bus, airplane, taxi and finally ferry we arrived in Kota Kinabalu in Sabah. We stayed at Gayana eco-resort on Gaya island right outside the city in Tunku Abdul Rahman marine national park. This seemed like a good idea as it boasted lots of activities and after lazing around in Cambodia we both felt in need of some activity. Our first day on the island we decided to go for what the eco-resort billed as a "nature walk". Feeling like we were being a bit over prepared for such a simple 4km walk, we grabbed a bottle of water and a couple granola bars and headed off to embrace nature. The first signal that this would not be a simple nature walk was the large sign at the start of the trail warning "Beware of Snakes". Not being a fan of snakes Janice decided I should go first. Normally she leads as I have a horrible sense of direction, I've gotten lost on the Upper East Side let alone the jungle, but as there was the possibility of having to wrestle with a 12 foot python I got the nod. We headed off under the dense, steamy canopy immediately wishing we had worn hiking boots instead of sandals and put on mosquito repellent before leaving for our simple "nature walk". I went along very slowly at first, remembering something from the Discovery Channel about sneaking up on snakes being a bad thing. But as we progressed further into the dense jungle I felt a strong desire to move faster so as to end our "nature walk" as soon as possible. But the trail was narrow and often blocked by either fallen tree limbs covered in massive ants or rattan (palm branches covered in spikes) so the going was slow. Then the truly expected occurred - I got us lost. Not sure how I did it, one minute we were on the trail, markers every 50 meters, next thing we are at the bottom of a steep hill in the middle of a mangrove swamp with no idea which way to go next. We had about an hour or two of sunlight left so deciding sleeping in the jungle was worse than running into a snake Janice forgot her fear of snakes, pushed me aside and powered off into the jungle to find a way out. I won't bore you all with the details of our daring escape from the "nature walk" but it did involve an iguana. Not wanting to repeat our disaster on land we decided to spend the next two days at sea getting our advanced PADI scuba diver certification. The course itself was pretty uneventful, and the visibility of the diving was really bad so we couldn't see much except floating bits of mud, so the highlight was when one of the dive masters played Santa Clause at the resort's Christmas party by wearing a scary white guy mask with a beard. Fortunately, he didn't ask either of us to sit on his lap and tell him what we wanted. After another day or so at the eco-resort spent snorkeling in the national park, and eating at the wonderful seafood restaurant - I know it sounds bad to eat seafood in a marine national park, but it was just so fresh - we met the other travellers who would be joining us on our group trip through the rest of Borneo. Everyone seemed non-axe murdererish, which is always a bonus on a group trip, and we headed off for a small village at the base Mt. Kinabalu before our ascent the next day. Mt. Kinabalu is the tallest mountain in S.E. Asia and had only first been summited within the last fifty years. Upon reaching the summit it used to be tradition to sacrifice 7 white chickens to appease the gods who lived there, but now that KFC has come to Borneo the gods can get chicken any time they want and the sacrifice is no longer necessary. The night before the climb we met our guide Sapingee who decided the best way to prepare us for the arduous climb, was ..."

2. The potential for action learning ¦ Part 2/4
Key insights: The role of action learning in advancing people
Dr Howard Spittle, General Manager, Beaches Boscobel, Jamaica, comments on his learning journey with GULL: "I believe action learning offers the best way forward for many professionals in the Caribbean as well as for every level of employee both in the hospitality business and indeed the wider community. I am now proud to have been a founder member of the GULL Executive Doctor of Management programme for General Managers and Directors of the Sandals group. I know without doubt that unless we walk the talk and truly commit to educating one and all we cannot expect Caribbean society to grow, to improve and to compete effectively in a global environment. GULL makes it possible for everyone to advance personally and professionally and to obtain recognized, professional certification at work."
