Second update, a day later

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.

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.

Wrongful negligence of this blog/update on research project

Due to all my concentration going toward my movieblog/site hybrid, Movieville.org, I had forgotten about my personal relflection journal. Which is wrong. After Jools brought this to my attention, obviously it was time I updated this wasteland.

After contacting a number of PR/Marketing companies (via telephone FIRST, which has come to my attention should not be the way things work), it’s obvious I need to take a different path, and take a more stealthily approach. Like Email.

After doing this, I’ll update the blog, and see what happens.

In the meantime, check out my website. It’s full of film reviews and goodness.
