Marketing video Spring 2013

This is a quick job I did for Holly at Chocoholly - she wanted to promote her workshops and guess if it was a fun shoot!!

Holly´s little chocolate boutique in Hove is an amazing hub of creativity and gourmet chocolate. She´s really knowledgeable and such a fun person. Book your hen party, children´s birthday party or just pop in for a hot chocolate (the real thing) or some gifts that anyone will love!

You can order online too:

Zoe Hazel - "Live Life" 
Music video produced by Mi Elfverson, True North Vision 2013

And off she goes out to the world - let´s hope she´s well received and embraced by the audience!
On a snowy day up the South Downs, this is what we achieved in a freezing winter afternoon, this young Brighton based artist with roots from Spain and me.
I loved doing this video - and despite playing it about a trillion times by now, I still love the song. Its simplicity and  melancholic words reflect a clever girl, ready to hit the big stage soon.
Make sure you listen with good headphones.
Thank you!

Take longer

Deadlines, by Café Communications


Where did our time go? What did we really do to it?
We have more and more sophisticated communication systems, faster cars, better maps, clearer phone directories and home delivery of everything from toilet paper to contact lenses. But we work longer and longer hours, earning the same money, we have no time to wait anymore, we don´t have time to talk and we hardly have time to think. Where has it gone - all that time we´re supposed to have earned by simplifying things? Have we just kept generating time consuming matters rather than freeing time to deal with the valuable matters in life?

And despite all the fast moving information - the thought process takes the same amount of time it always has.
When we shipped a letter from A to B, we had more time to think about what to write, because the post man didn´t empty the box until 5pm. And only on weekdays. Now when we have such smart communication gadgets (too often they write words for us by themselves) that we can easily lose a client if we don´t respond to a request instantly. We don´t even have time to think if we can do the job. The jobs need to be done fast and furiously.

Give it some time. Time is a true measure of quality, so don´t disrespect a slower process. We treasure time in our heart and it´s our wish to have more time for everything. We should disrespect people who want things instantly or last minute, as we know it increases the risk of things going wrong or not reaching the same quality as with more time on our hands.

If we could bring back some time in our lives, to reflect, to get the creative process going, then perhaps we would feel more fortunate. Achieve more than less. Of higher quality, better value and also - have time for a coffee.

Why not slow down a bit and give people a bit more time. We´ll get there in a better way.
