New Curve King and I video

This is the latest piece I made for The Curve, it’s for the upcoming show which starts in December, The King and I. BEHOLD:

Again with the 4:3. Ugh.

Third piece of Curve work

Here’s the third piece of the work I’m producing for The Curve Theatre, this one’s a little more subtle compared to the other pieces of work I’ve made, as it’s just the Director along with some rehearsal photographs. Director Selina didn’t want anybody shooting the rehearsals, which is fair enough.

Again, the IT guys must have compressed this, which is a shame.

Second piece of Curve work

This is getting exciting, here’s the second piece of work I did for the Curve Theatre, I like this one, a lot more interviewing, editing was good in this, there wasn’t much to-ing and fro-ing with this from the client, seemed to get it in less than two edits. Which is always good. BEHOLD:

Proposal: BEGIN.

I figured now would be an opportune time to begin the Client Proposal. Blah blah, client, blah blah, proposal, blah blah. That’s all I’ve been blogging about. Anyway, start now, finish as early as I can to stay on top of the game- and watch 24 at the same time. How’s Jack gonna find Saunders? God this is intense.

Evaluation of Simulated Project Piracy Video

So a couple of days ago I posted the finished piece that was the ‘Piracy is Wrong’ video. It didn’t go exactly to plan, however, because there were parts in it I’d rather have went another way. For example, the light in the face was meant to be a light behind a mysterious silhouette, but I didn’t have the resources for this technique(or it didn’t look good when I tried it) so I decided to go another way.

So for whatever reason, I decided to do it at night. I wrote up a script, and the idea of the lights flickering on and off came to mind. So I thought “I HAVE to include this somehow”. That’s how I thought of shooting it in the dark. It worked out well too, only some of the shots which weren’t included didn’t come out well, one downside to shooting in the dark I guess.

The reverb on Ycarip’s voice sounded great before it was exported, but it became a tad crackly, something which I couldn’t figure out, even after reducing the volume of the audio file. Something I’ll definitely have to look into, but I think it works.

Not a bad piece I think,  definitely has a lot more room for improvement, but still, I think it works well, and achieves what it’s meant to.

@ The Curve shooting Interviews

Now capturing the final parts of the remaining ‘Translations’ footage, just needs to be put together in a similar fashion to the ‘Hot Stuff’ footage:

I’m fully aware that the aspect ratio is 4:3, but unfortunately, one of The Curve’s technicians or IT guys compressed the poor baby so it ended up like that. 

Fun stuff.

Recap of day @ Curve

So after spending a whole day at the Curve, I got some good footage shot of a couple of plays coming up, Translations and Molly Sweeney. Similar to the Hot Stuff footage I shot, minus the interviews. The interviews I’ll have to shoot(for Translations, anyway)tomorrow, because of some unforeseen circumstances.

Still though, good time today, it’d be a nice place to work permanently. Nice atmosphere.

Curve filming

Currently at the Curve, capturing some footage. Need to seriously get this proposal done asap, otherwise this whole thing could potentially be a waste of my time. It would be such a good project to do, seeing as I have so much dates to work with.

Blarg.

Client project stuff

In a while I’m off to The Curve to continue this client thing, I so desperately need to get a proposal down for this, because I’m basically screwed if I can’t use them as my client. If not, at least I got some decent experience down. So the plan:

• Write an evaluation for the Simul. brief
• Take some pics of the location for the Simul. brief
• Begin to write a proposal GOOD proposal for the Client Project
• Make it as detailed as humanly possible
• add EVERYTHING – Locations, the clothes worn on that day, the food I ate, the soap I used, how many toilet rolls I used in the day, what colour my shit is, etc.
• Look into/start the Research Project as much as I can

This needs to be the absolute best. This is it. This is where my balls will be cut if I don’t do good.
