Grimefiend: Cameraman Sketch74
Posted In Grimefiend
Last year I filmed a small video with a local Grime artist named Crawler. The video was set around him discussing himself to start with and ended with a freestyle. Following this video, members of Crawlers’ Grime crew, named Killer Grimey (KG), got in touch with me about creating more videos, in which they too could express themselves in this way. The word started to spread on my abilities to film and the YouTube channel that I had created- RealTalk0113. Other Leeds MC’s began to contact me on social networking sites such as Facebook and Youtube, asking me to film them. Before I knew it, I was promoting the Leeds-based Grime Scene attempting to get it heard again. I felt passionate about this, as I used to struggling in finding good MC’s that were from Leeds. In the first video with Crawler he asks “How deep can we speak about it, is it real talk yeah?” That was exactly what I wanted it to be. A channel where the MC wasn’t censored, and could say what they liked, as long as it was real to them. So when I uploaded the videos to YouTube I called the channel Real Talk 0113, the 0113 being the area code for Leeds. I also include links to the featured artists websites, to gain extra promotion for them.
Someone who inspires me is Cameraman Sketch. He documents the up and coming Grime MC’s, through interviews and freestyles. He has over 500 videos on Youtube and 3 DVDs featuring artists such as Jammer, Ghetts, Big H, P.Money, Asher D and many more. His new DVD entitled ’2010′ drops at the end of this month. This is what he had to say when I interviewed him recently…
How did you start filming and how long have you been doing it?
I started filming Desperado, he was a mate besides music and asked me to film for him a quick interview so from then I just carried on. I had a camera from holiday so I just used that an started rolling, I’ve never stopped filming since. I’ve been filming since early 2009 I think, so 2 years I’ve put into the music.
Why do you do it?
You tell me a better job to do in this day an age, its something I enjoy doin and it keeps me steered in the right direction.
Do you work solo or have a crew around you?
I’ve been working solo but im starting to form a team so if people are serious and can edit and film, get at me on facebook www.facebook.com/cameramansketch or sketch58@yahoo.co.uk
Who is your inspiration?
There’s so many personally, but P Money & SB.TV because P Money puts a lot of work in Grime and puts money back into his work. It’s not all about just getting the money in and not elevating yourself, he also always gives me good advice. Then SB.TV because he basically takes the filming to another level everyday with big UK features and famous US celebrities etc.
Regarding the Grime scene, who are your top MC’s and why?
P Money & Blacks, purely because I’ve been with them at the bookings so I’ve been there seeing the hard work they have put in. Kozzie, Rival & Wariko are other artists who are putting in work, also Wiley, Skepta and Jammer. There’s many more but I’m just naming a few.
What advice would you give a young cameraman/editor like myself, to progress as a cameraman and to improve my youtube channel?
Well, advice for a young cameraman I can split in two ways. It can be a hard struggle with loads of lows, but it can all pay off if u keep at it. If your trying to UK broadcast you’ll need to spend a lot of money on transport, even getting parred by artists if you haven’t got your work rate up. Or on the other hand, you can stay in your borough but it will be harder to get your views up outside of your area. But other than that its a good experience, I call it survival of the fittest .
What is the key factor in your success?
Bringing a DVD out evey year and at the same time filming 3 times a week for my youtube channel www.youtube.com/sketchkraverrip.
What is your ultimate long term vision?
Getting a booking agency for filming for regular pay to keep me going, being signed or just make the name “Cameraman Sketch” global.
To get a copy of ‘Cameraman Sketch Presents 2010′ go onto Play.com or if your in the UK you can get it from your local HMV. It is released on the 29th of November and summarises 2010 in the Grime scene.
