Who WE ARE
We are Illuminations, a mixed contemporary A Cappella group from the University of Exeter. Founded in 2011, we have continued to grow as a group, making it to the UK finals of the ICCA's for the first time last year, as well as taking our first show to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and making our television debut on Sky One's Sing: Ultimate A Cappella . None of this would have been possible without the incredible support from those who follow us. The group is made up entirely of students from the University, and we pride ourselves in being responsible for all our own musical arrangements, choreography, and general management! We all truly love what we do, and so there is honestly nothing better than having the opportunity to showcase this to as many people as possible. This is the main reason we would love to make a music video, as it would allow us to share what we do with a wider audience than ever before.
Where will the money go?
To make a video, there are lots of steps involved. Firstly we would need to professionally record one of our tracks. This will likely come to around £650. Following this, we look to work with a reputable production company, who can help us produce the highest quality video possible. From quotes we have been given this is likely to come to around £800-£900. We have therefore set the minimum target as £650 as this would at least allow us to record the track. Our overall target is set at £2000, as we would also love to professionally record two more tracks for the likes of iTunes and Spotify. This would also give us greater scope for the video, as we would have a choice of songs we could work with, allowing us to create the best video possible! The prospect of working with a professional production company is very exciting to us, and so we would love to go into this experience in the best position possible!
