Famefad Frank J You Tube Channel

Behind the Scenes video footage mainly short Paparazzi style Celebrity Photoshoot video clips giving an insider view of what it is like to be a Celebrity Photographer and the conditions you have to work in when you are at the coal face in the Entertainment “Industry”. It’s crowded, fast paced, stressful and hectic!

Introduction
The Frank J/FameFad You Tube channel now just an Archive Video Channel set up in 2011 as an experiment dabbling in videos. It’s still out there???? The channel never took off in subscriber terms but some of these videos have had some decent views considering most are just clips or bite size footage.  Seems to be in vogue these days as in You Tube “Shorts” and the infamous “Tik Tok” videos and Instagram Reels. Must have been ahead of my time. Never fell in love with the video side of things so just continued doing the celebrity photography. The celebrity photos  got multiple times more interest with website visitors in the thousands on a daily basis. There was just no comparison by any metric, but I’m glad I shot these videos because it shows how hard and competitive it is to get any decent shots from just nano second moments. Looking at these clips i wonder how on earth I managed to get the shots I did nobody seems the slightest bit interested LOL????

What is Featured?
Featured is Behind the Scenes and Video footage of Celebrities mainly female Stars but also a good helping of male stars giving you a taste of what it is like as a Celebrity Photographer, how much time you have to get the shot (you are talking about 10-15 seconds normally). All video shot with a very amateur  little Fujifilm Bridge Camera and you can see (especially Kelly Brook) they mostly don’t take you seriously even if you are in the press pen with a small camera and NO FLASH. Big industrial camera and look at me flash system set up and it’s a completely different ball game, they start looking big time. A very humbling experience shooting these videos.

Included here are sample experimental video footage with very short clips from Radio Station arrivals or Departures, Film Premieres, Live Music Performances and general video footage shot on the streets of London. This is all RAW UNEDITED footage just uploaded as is (not even 720p) and the sound quality is questionable (especially the Spider Man Premier) but it gives a good idea what it’s like photographing from a press pen, in the middle of paparazzi, photographing from a fan pen and some footage of the press pen guys in the background at a film premier with stars coming past in the foreground. 

Bonus supporting Photos where available?
Where available an extra photo has been added from a different event or location the extensive archive held on a collection of hard drives (photos in the multiple thousands) if the star featured in the video was photographed before somewhere else. Some extra background information is also included just to highlight the fact that you are photographing real people here and they are subjected to the normal rules and laws of nature as the rest of us. Enjoy
