Filming fashion

The earnestness, thousand yard stares and various cliches seen in fashion ads are a fairly easy target, as seen in anything from Zoolander to Mercedes-Benz’ tongue in cheek Fistful of Wolves. But, given the importance placed on aesthetics in this industry, they generally look good and that’s certainly the case with a film shot by Vince McMillan, a director’s assistant at Exit Films, for AUT University’s fashion department.

The piece is a cutdown from a 40 minute film that was presented at the AUT Rookie Fashion Show in 2013 and the collaborative project involved over 20 cast members, ten days of shooting, countless helping hands and a $10,000 budget. It features the work of local designers such as Sophia Hattingh and Thistle Brown, among many others.
