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.

Behind the Scenes of Real Eyes.

Real Eyes is a short film directed by Shona Singleton and filmed by Tom Lee as pat of their final year projects for the TV and Film degree we are all coming to the end of. I was asked to tag along and film a behind the scenes feature and I also lent a hand whenever I could. It was a nice change from acting as the primary cinematographer on a film with freedom to film what I wanted and next to no pressure. I also enjoyed having the opportunity to try out editing the footage which was where the stress kicked in due to an approaching deadline. Over a couple of nights I managed to put something together which I am quite happy with so if you've got some time to spare check it out. (The music choice was not mine but it does fit the piece fairly well)
