Isn’t it just great when you have friends partaking in controversial activities? This is what i thought at first…A group of boys who i know, were scheduled to have their digs formal. We negotiated at length until they agreed to let me film the beginning of their formal. In true Rhodes style (and may i reiterate that this is a male digs!) they called me about half an hour before i was set to shoot, to cancel! Their excuse was that their dates (who had been procured at the last minute) felt uncomfortable being filmed.
So rushed phonecalls were made and i managed to secure another digs formal shoot on the same night! And it turned out to be a success-we got great footage. Everything happens for a reason…
Check out this short description from an anonymous source about the theme of a digs formal:
Watch this short video, from the same source, which talks about the games played:
Here is some footage on the actual digs formal. Our camera was on while the ladies were setting up. This snippet shows them blowing up condoms and putting in little cards which detail a game to be played (by the person who pops the balloon). We had to step in to help them…taking journalism to a new level…
And last, but not least, a look at how they prepared their punch. It seems even though it didn’t taste that great, it was consumed!
