Successful Show!

Last night my degree course class showed our final year films to a decent sized audience at Fruit Bar in Hull and the reception they received instantly made this stressful last year seem worthwhile. As well as showing three films, two of which I acted as cinematographer on, creating a behind the scenes piece for the third, I also had the opportunity to show a five minute show reel of my other work. The reaction to all the pieces I worked on was superb and I felt proud of something I had done for the first time in a long time. Add to the night some drunken tutors and my own Mother drunk and that equals a whole lot of fun. The films are getting shown again tonight at HSAD and I have to run to help with the setting up. I will continue with this post and hopefully get some photo's up from the night at a later date. Take it easy and check back soon.

Unrest Screenshots

Here are some screen shots from the short film Unrest directed by Adam Hill. In this project I shared the cinematographer credit with Tom Lee, dividing the role by interior and exterior shots. Adam decided to use two cinematographers to emphasize the different states of reality. Tom filmed the interior shots which are the main protagonist's subconscious and I filmed the exterior shots which  provide the basis for the story through establishing shots and flashbacks. I don't want to give the story away just yet, I'm not sure how secretive Adam the director wants to be. However upon receiving the footage yesterday I've decided to put up a few screen shots for you to take a look at.

These screenshots are straight from the original footage before any kind of colour correction and I'm quite pleased with the way they have turned out, I just hope Adam can put together a decent edit. I'm going out filming the last bits today so wish me luck!
