AStickySituation_Gronk2012
In transition from tape to online edit, the editor cut the first 30 seconds from the film which outlines the "Masked Man" capturing the two "captives" also the arrival of the "scooby gang" which interupts his torment of them. but a lot of fun to make, as a director, working with new students with fresh ideas is interesting, but their level of confidence in their own abilities led them to be a little shy in sharing them, I hoped that my passion for fun would help them all relax but in the end we used a previous idea, (Man captures girls) and mixed it with the scooby doo ending, it seemed like the most fun for the kids and I had thought to be an easy effect to achieve with in camera editing.
and what have you done for me lately?
I haven't mastered the art of blogging on a weekly basis, sounds like a regular bowel movement, so at least this is a nice surprise.
I have done stuff since the last update, actual work related stuff. Saw the completed project of a super8 film in which i was director, entered in the Revel8 competition as part of the Revelations film festival, Screened at Astor Cinema in Mt Lawley, will post the Youtube link extra.. it was Titled "the Lonely Apple" and in the end had exposure issues, but finishing the project on time and within filming ratio's (only one roll of 3 minutes of film provided) technical challenges of filming in camera edit, all in sequence. a fun project all in all and im my eyes a successful first attempt. Try again next year.
Also I did work experience with Soul Films, Producer Angie Smith, for a Samsung TVC, filming in midland trainyards felt like working on a backlot, and as a grip assistant, I felt I could enjoy that job any time of the week, working with industry professionals showed me the lack of training I feel we recieve in our studies, but did the best we could with the knowledge we had to achieve a successful result, its the last job that defines you so leaving all personal issues at the door work with only your A game for continued success. The final product should be broadcast nationally within the next few months. As a grip working on set we laid dolly tracks, helped to set up a green screen and a pegasus Jib, helped out with Art Department when required and generally tried to be helpful while enjoying ourselves. If that was working in the industry all the time sign me up, but it can't be that good forever right?
Apart from that we had another Pitch session at tafe this time for a 3 minute drama, we chose a friends script and added our own personalities to it, to add depth and new perspectives of the same story, also created small video clips as presentation pieces using editing skills, and photoshop to create a more multimedia presentation. results come out tomorrow to find out whether or not we were successful, knowing my history with the tafe lecturers I do not assume much success, but we had fun trying. Success means the beginning of production for a 3 minute short film, I pitched for our script as an Editor. which is the position I enjoy working in the most.
Anyway cats, you have fun now. Remember its not what you know but who you know that helps you out in the end.
