Project Updates

Fundbreak on the radio
posted 21 Sep 2010

I was interviewed about my fundbreak experience for local radio 3CR here in Melbourne. The program explored crowd funding and alternative methods of funding in the film industry. They've posted up a downloadable version of the program on the 3CR  website. Check it out here. You'll need to scroll down the page to the program 'Jump Cut' from the 17th of September.

Edit News
posted 21 Sep 2010

OK so the edit always takes longer than expected. We've now been editing for a few weeks (at nights and weekends) - and the film is really starting to take shape. Still much to be done but hopefully we'll be done with the edit by the end of next week and then can concentrate on the sound. Speaking of which, my brother has been developing the soundtrack music further and has explored the original theme (as is heard on the trailer on the fundbreak site) into something quite fantastic. I reckon those of you who've signed up to receive the soundtrack as part of your pledge will love it!

Red Shoot
posted 08 Sep 2010

Last night we shot a sequence with dancer, Sarah Anesbury, in a nightclub setting. Had a great shoot and we used the red camera for the first time (thanks to Inspiration Studios in Port Melbourne!) as we wanted to shoot in slow motion. Here's a still from the shoot with my DOP Rich Kickbush setting the camera up onto a slider. As you can see that's me standing there offering as much assistance as I possibly can... William.

Rough Cut
posted 06 Sep 2010

In other news: Spent the afternoon with editor Anna Brady yesterday going through the assembly edit. It's looking great and we are well on track to have a rough cut of the film by the end of the week.

Meantime I will be hooking up with my production team this week for a final week of pick up shooting to tie up loose ends.
