Destined To Be The Sound Man

With the two, "two minute" films we had to make complete we have now started work on the first of our two final year films.

But to start with here is the film that me and my friend Jess made for the second of the "two minute" film projects (really only a 30-60 second project) which was a viral advert for the WOWee One.

For this mini film I mixed some Lord Of The Rings music with some dubstep, and since I found it quite fun I decided to finish the track off, which I shall upload soon.

Here is what the client said of our viral advert:

"I loved the visual impact and the choice of music - really stylish and haunting. The technique for showing the sound wave through the screen was great and sums up what the product is all about. This was a really strong contender for the best viral because it was one I watched over and over - almost mesmeric!"

If we had won then we would have got a free WOWee each. But it was still good to get great feedback and know we came very close.

Moving onto the 10 minute film projects now. Myself and Jess pitched our idea for the script we had been working on. However, unfortunately it did not get chosen as one of the seven films to get made. Sadly this means that I have ended up doing sound again. However, I've decided to keep busy and do the sound on two different projects. Along side this I will also have the sound on the feature project to do, so as it seems I will end up being a sound man at least I should have a thoroughly built up portfolio.

But not all hope is lost, as myself and Jess are also working on a Salsa Tutorial video for a client after we were approached. Whilst it's not paid we do get free Salsa lessons! So as I want to go into dance filmmaking it will be very handy actually knowing how to dance a little bit!

That's all for this month, but I do have an extra goody. We had a Q and A with producer Rebecca O'Brien (Sweet Sixteen, Looking For Eric) as part of our course and I happened to record the session on my iPhone so decided to upload it for anyone that wants to listen. You can also download it as well.

Final Year

I'm back at university now for my final year. We've already made one short 2 minute film and we've got another one to do next week, after which we'll be pitching our ideas for the first of the two 12 minute films we will be making this/next year.

I will be pitching a script with my friend Jess, which we wrote together through the summer and completed our 2nd draft of this week. It still needs some work as it needs cutting down, but the idea is solid, and that is what we are pitching.

I've also been working on this feature film I've previously spoken about. Whilst I've not started any post production work on it yet, we have completely finished shooting.

We shot it on my Canon 550D and we are aiming to finish it by February/March 2011. The reason it will take so long to complete is because I will be adding all the sound in post, so I'm starting from scratch. And seeing as it is a feature film that is a lot of sound to add. Plus I will also have my degree going on at the same time, which I've got to write my dissertation for before Christmas too, so I'm going to be very busy.

I'll try and put some photos up of the feature film soon, but for now here is a short timelapse I did of us preparing for dinner one evening. It was very interesting because we shot and lived in the same house for a week. This is the first timelapse I've done, set up to take 1 photo every 10 seconds. It was very fun to do. We also did another one of us setting up in the morning, however that was shot done by our editor, so I don't have a copy of it.

Dawn

I've been doing further testing this month with my Canon 550D + Sigma 18-200mm f3.5-6.3 lens. However, I now also have an LCDVF 3:2, Glidetrack Shooter 0.75m and Manfrotto 701HDV. So I've spent quite a lot of money now, hopefully not all for nothing either.

You can see the test I did using all of my kit below and you can also click the link to read about the encoding process/experiments that I did.

The reason I wanted to purchase a camera was for my upcoming dance film. I've met up with the woman whom I've been in contact with, Allie, and she is very enthusiastic about the project. There will be about 4 or 5 dancers in the film, including Allie, who will choreograph themselves, with perhaps a little direction from me. I've also managed to get copyright clearance for the music I wanted to use in the film, which means that I will be able to distribute the film once it is complete.

The aim is to shoot the film near Christmas, however, since I will only be in Cornwall for 2 weeks at Christmas I'm currently wondering whether the film will end up being postponed until summer 2011. Either way, I've managed to get things in motion so am confident that this film will get made.

Got a few projects I'll be working on much sooner though. One of which is a feature film which I will be doing the sound design on. I filmed the auditions on my camera which I found very interesting to do. It really helped me from a directing point as well. Although it seems I'm quite far away from being a director of actors at the moment. Fate seems to be steering me away from dramas, dance films are where I believe I'm headed. I think my best bet for dramas is to wait until I've a few dance films under my belt and then maybe have a go.

I've also been doing more work experience with MyCornwallTV this past week. I did a week's work experience out on location with them last year, however, this year I was mostly editing in the office. I edited a number of Wasson?! videos which are daily updates on what's going on in Cornwall, and are the first videos that come up when you enter the website. I also shot a weeks worth of Wasson?! videos which I believe will air from the 8th to the 14th of September. You will be able to watch the videos here, at mycornwall.tv.

I also did a full day on the live rugby game broadcast which they do, for the Cornish Pirates. It was a home game so was held at Penzance. I ended up cable bashing, which is where I had to run up and down the side of the pitch where one of the camera men is and make sure the the wires running from his camera to the broadcast van don't get tangled, and are kept out of the way so that the camera man can't trip over them. It's a pretty low down job, but it was a great experience being part of a live broadcast, and I feel learnt quite a lot. You can view highlights and will be able to see future broadcasts on their Pirates channel which you can find here.

Here are the latest uploads of the Gang Show, which complete Act 1. Unfortunately due to copyright issues the producer of the show has asked me to make the videos private. But you can access them all with the password, which I have provided.

Act 1 - Part 7: Tramps


I've decided to discontinue with my monthly music track simply because I have been and will continue to be very busy. But I've not given up completely so will still be posting tracks here when I have them to post!

Testing Stages

First of some horrible news, the UK Film Council has been axed. You can read about it properly here, but please also sign the petition, as the UK Film Council is an important part of the UK film industry and I think worth saving. And don't forget to join the facebook group.

Onto me now! I've been playing around with my new camera. I've got a Canon 550D and the lens I have is the Sigma 18-200mm. I'm not a photography expert, but I've found the lens to be really great and it really does produce some really stunning shots.

I'm aiming to do one test video per week as a way for me to get to grips with the camera as well as trying to get to grips with Final Cut Studio as well. I've used Final Cut Pro before as this is what we edit on at university. However, we've not used the other applications such as Color or Motion before, so I've trying to play around with these as well.

Here's a few quick non specific test videos I did though.


"A little something I shot on my new Canon EOS 550D. Was playing around and experimenting, just shooting things in and around my garden.

The sound design is all mine as well. At the forefront there are two pieces of music, both by Max Richter, which I worked together and are playing together at the same time, as well as all the other little details."

"Some test footage I did of my cats, shot on my Canon 550D with a Sigma 18-200mm lens. The second shot I slowed down in post, however, I did also film it at 50fps so it should still be smooth. Obviously need to do some further tests with slow motion.

It was shot at 720p so should be in HD but for some reason has just been uploaded in SD. More tests needed."

Since I've was busy with my camera and writing scripts last month, I didn't finish any of my music tracks I've been working on, however, I do have this soundtrack mix which I created a while ago instead.

Machines by Aaron Buckley

I've two more mixes like this and am currently working on another one.

I've also uploaded parts 4 and 5 of the Gang Show which I worked on.

A New Wave

I've recently bought a Canon EOS 550D, which shoots video in full 1080p HD. I'm still waiting for my lens to arrive, but when it does I'm going to start shooting some stuff, and join the new wave of DSLR filmmakers.

In other news, I've managed to upload the first three parts of the Gang Show that I shot over Easter. There's plenty more parts to come as it's a two and a half hour show, but I can only upload one part per week on Vimeo as the files take up most of my 500MB weekly upload capacity and I can only upload one HD video per week as well.

Here are the first three parts though:

On to music now and I've been coming up with a few tunes here and there and playing around with different sounds on Logic Express. I've come up with quite a few, but my aim is to finish one a month, so here is the first.

Running by aaronbuckley

I could probably do a lot more to the piece, however, I'm happy with it and see it as finished. I was going for a Run Lola Run feel with it, which I'm happy I achieved when I played it for a group of friends and one of them compared it to Run Lola Run. It might not be the best electronic piece ever, but I'm more of a film music person myself, and in terms of that I feel I've succeeded.

The End Is Nigh

I've finished my 2nd year now at university which means I've only got one year left until I have to venture out into the big bad world. Yes, I'm scared, but I'm hoping opportunities will open up for me.

I've finished work on Forgotten now, which has been renamed Felix. I did get to do the music in the end as well which was a fun experience for me and as a result I've now got a MacBook Pro with Logic Express. So I'll be getting to grips with that over the summer. I've not yet got a copy of Felix, but I'm pleased with how it turned out, and will post it here when I get a hold of one.

I've also brushed my hands clean of the Gang Show. Burning the DVDs was a much more length process then I expected it to be as we had a lot of problems exporting the project from Final Cut, and ended up having to put the show on two discs. But thankfully we managed to sort everything in the end and the client was pleased with what we did. Plus I got paid. I'll try and upload the show for next month.

If you read my last months post then you'll know I started a little project called Film365. After creating a film a day for all of May I've decided that it is too much work to be able to carry it on for the whole year and so have brought the project to a close. However, I'm glad that I did it as I discovered some interesting things and did enjoy doing it. You can view all the videos I did for the project here: Film365 Project - May 2010.

But here are some of my favourites:

As for future projects, we make two films next year at uni. Hopefully one of my ideas will get picked. We pitch to a group of professional writers next year, and I'm hoping to wow them with a non-narrative idea, something I imagine will be quite hard since I'm guessing what they will be looking for is stories.

Other than writing some scripts this summer I don't really have a lot going on apart from one other project, Dance Experiment II.

I emailed a lady yesterday, that is setting up a dance studio in Cornwall, about the possibility of making a dance film with her and her studio. Well she's emailed back and seems very interested so I'm hoping this will go ahead. However, I won't be starting any work on it until near Christmas at the earliest. Otherwise it could be next year before I start on it. But at least it's in the pipeline.

I'm currently thinking about getting a Canon 550D. If I end up getting one then I'll hopefully have some more projects to work on through the summer.

New Horizons

Things seem to be back on track. Forgotten is going well, and I'm proud of what me and my team have done with filming the live Gang Show.

First off Forgotten. Filming is 98% done and there are just a few exterior shots to get of some buildings. The edit is still being played with a little but it should be done by the end of next week. Here is some footage with a rough edit if you want to know what it looks like. I did all of the cinematography and lighting in all of these shots.

I also had ago at doing some music for the film, and as a result I'm being allowed to have ago at scoring the film. As it happens, I'm not sure my director has 100% faith in me as she's said she still wants to look for some music students to score the film, however, lucky for me no one has expressed any interest so it seems I've got the job by default. I've put the demo I did, with the clip above, and you can view and listen to it below.

I start scoring it properly on Tuesday. I used to play the cornet and got to grade 6 in practical and theory, I could have gone further, but I'd lost interest in the grades system and so just wanted to plan. However, since I've started university I've not played. Which I think has actually helped me to come up with melodies. Before when I did play I couldn't come up with a tune to save my life. Now they fly at me left right and centre. Which is why I want to get a MacBook Pro over the summer with Logic Pro Studio so I can write some music.

I've also finished editing the live Gang Show which me and my crew filmed over Easter. It's come in at 2 hours and 35 minutes. All that is left to do is export the film from Final Cut Pro and then create a DVD of it.

I have to say that filming a live show with separate cameras is very hard. We had a number of exposure issues, which you can see in the final piece. But I've definitely learnt a lot from doing the project, and will be quite glad when it is over.

That's it in terms of my filming projects at the moment. Although I'm also starting today a little project I'm calling Film365. It's inspired by the Photo365 projects I've seen where people have to take a photo everyday for a year. Well I've decided to do the same with video. However, since an interesting video a day, which is what I am aiming for, is harder than taking a photo a day I'm testing it out this month, and then if I enjoy it I'm going to continue it for a year. You can view my films from the project at http://vimeo.com/channels/film365.

Progress

Things have picked up a bit since my last post. However, I still seem to be being stalked by bad luck.

First off I've managed to finish uploading the production photos from Distant Donors, so now I'm completely done with it.

Distant Donors Production Photos

I've also finished work on Jessie Dyer's Documentary/Music Video. It's the first documentary I've done and I only had two shoots to do it. It's by no means perfect, but I feel I did the best with what I had and I'm pleased with it. If I had more time, then I would have preferred to shoot some more stuff and follow up on some of the stuff they talk about in the interviews. But to be honest I'm glad it's finished now.

I had to make 30 DVDs which proved to be the most impossible task in the world. I literally had 20 separate problems one after the other and it took my all day and some cookies and milkshake to get through it. The live event where the DVDs were sold for charity was on Tuesday 30th March at Pitcheroak School. Since the event has been and gone now I've uploaded the film, and you can watch it below.

If you wish to know more about the charity "Everybody Let's Sing!" then click here.

I've finished university for the Easter Holidays now and so have finished work on Forgotten for now. It's been going okay so far, there have been a lot of problems but we've been combating them and working through them. When we come back after Easter we have 2 scenes left to shoot and 2 scenes that we need to re-shoot. Then my job will be done and it will just be the editing that is left. Below are a couple of still shots from the film.

In the mean time I'll be filming a live Gang Show on the 6th April and 10th April, with help from Jessica Taylor (who helped me out with the Jessie Dyer project, and who also wrote and is now directing Forgotten) and Clarissa Hall. Since I've not filmed a live event before it'll be very interesting. Once it's been filmed then it will be up to me to make a DVD of it, which will be sold to the cast, crew, family and anyone else that wants one. The money made from the DVDs is then given to me and my crew. Therefore making this my first paid job. I'll have about a month to edit it, and by that time my projects will all be coming to a close and I'll have to start on some new ones.

Failure Versus Success

I had a lot of failure last month. My script for the 2:30 minute narrative film didn't get chosen and the one I did co-direct turned out quite shit. Then I pitched my 10 minute narrative film which also didn't get chosen. It seems my year group don't like experimental films, something I find quite irritating. Next year we have to pitch our ideas to some people from HBO. Being from a television company I'm guessing they are going to be looking for commercial ideas, not experimental niche market stuff. So it seems I'm screwed next year too and won't actually get to make one of my own ideas/scripts whilst being at university.

The only outside the box thing I've managed to do is Dance Experiment I, which I go more into below. What I would call a success, but only just.

Following up from last months post, here is the soundtrack to Distant Donors composed by my friend Tom Law:

Distant Donors (Soundtrack) - Tom Law

I've finished shooting for Jessie Dyer's short documentary/music video, and am going to start editing it soon, so I can finish it for the end of the month.

I finished work on Waiting Room, which to be honest I've very disappointed with. But you learn from you mistakes so I feel I've learnt a lot.

On the other hand, I am quite proud with how my dance film has turned out. I experimented with camera movement and camera choreography within a screendance in an attempt to make a unique screendance that can not be seen live. Whilst my film could be seen live, you couldn't experience it in the same way, and I feel that the way I have shot the dance definitely improves on it. I did over do it a bit in terms of dancer/camera eye contact, but otherwise I think I've done quite well with the equipment/facilities/dancers available.

The music is actually twice as fast as it should be, because I wanted to slow the film down by 50%. However, since I didn't shoot the film at a higher frame rate, when slowed down by this amount it looked quite horrid. But also in terms of the dance itself, it just lost all its energy. I think they would have to dance twice as fast again and I would have to move the camera twice as fast in order for it to still keep it's energy when slowed down.

I've called the film Dance Experiment I because I'm hoping to make more dance experiments. My next one I am hoping to do after Easter and am thinking about playing with editing for this experiment, and filming a dance that is a cross between tap and flamenco. Seeing as my ideas never seem to get picked, I guess it's up to me to go and do something about it. The only trouble is making an experimental narrative film will take money, something that people on my course won't want to be spending since they will have already spent it on their 10 minute narrative films. Plus after we finish the 10 minute films, everyone will be going home for the summer, so no one will really want to hang around. And people is what I will need in order to create a set for the world my 10 minute experimental narrative film is set in. This is why I want to make Dance Experiment II, because the only people I need to make this film are dancers, who have all expressed a keen interest in doing more dance films.

The 10 minute film I am working on is called Forgotten. Since my idea did not get picked after what I thought was quite a successful pitch I am not directing this film, which has put me on a bit of a downer. But I have taken on the role of cinematographer and been given free reign with how the film is shot. Therefore, I'm going to stamp my mark on this film with my amazing shooting. Or at least that's the plan.

But whilst my 10 minute script, Masque, didn't get chosen I am still hoping to make it one day. Just like all my other ideas I guess. One day success will find me, or rather, I'll find success.

So Far, So Good

I've had a pretty busy month and Feb could be even busier.

I got back to uni Sun 10th Jan where we spent one more week on Distant Donors to finish it off. So here it is:

I'm going to make a mini soundtrack, which I might upload as it was my friend Tom Law who's music we used (apart from one track).

I've also started work on a short music documentary/music video for Jessie Dyer, who has written a song for the charity Everybody Let's Sing. So far I've done two shoots and gone to a meeting at Pitcheroak School, where she will be recording her and the kids singing the chorus. The next shooting date won't be until March though which is good for me as I'm starting work on a dance film this week, as well as a 2:30 minute narrative film.

The dance film is a short experimental piece that I am hoping to do using this music:

I'll be filming it most of this month and if the film turns out okay, then I'm going to re-do it and get original music written for it. Had our first meeting the dancers yesterday and they seem very up for it, which is great. Start properly on it next week(end).

As for the 2:30 minute film, I've written a couple of scripts, one of which I pitched yesterday. However, it didn't get picked to be made unfortunately, I should have pitched my other idea. But I am still getting direct, which I'm over the moon about. We only get 2 weeks to make it, but it is a film about a man at a train station that is inside a game of monopoly, which I am co-directing with Jonny Orme. It's called Waiting Room. I still plan on making my ideas though, and are putting them in the vault for the moment. Perhaps they'll be something I can work on over the summer.

Did my first bit of directing in more than 6 months today and it felt so good to put those shoes on again. They fit even better now as well. It was for Waiting Room and was kind of an audition, but was great fun. I don't want to go back to doing sound or any other job that is not directing for the 10 minute film we get to make after this 2:30 minute one. I was born to direct.

My Avatar Experience

I don't usually do film reviews on my blog and in a way I'm still not, but on Wednesday the 6th of January 2010 at 5:40pm I went and saw James Cameron's Avatar on the UKs biggest screen at the BFI IMAX. My experience was so intense that I just felt that I should share it with everyone, and show that this film isn't about 3D and CGI, it is about the story.

I'm lost for words with this film, so I'm simply going to tell you about my experience when watching it.

I'd not been to an IMAX theatre before so it was a very exciting experience for me, I got some great seats which I'd booked a couple of months in advance and had to travel to London in order to see it on the biggest screen in the UK. I spent in total about £60 to go and see this film and it was worth every penny.

We watched the trailer for Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland before, which was also in 3D and I thought, "Wow! This is amazing, the screen is so massive. " But it wasn't really any different to any other 3D film I'd seen. And then Avatar started.

As soon as the film started I just started crying, and must have continued to cry for about 30 minutes. They were tears of complete happiness at the beauty of the film and how real it was.

I've seen 3D films before, but they never really looked 3D. The animated ones didn't really need to be in 3D because they practically looked and felt the same, and some of them I would have preferred to have watched in 2D. And the live action films just looked as though there were some actors stood in front of a green screen and on the green screen was the rest of the film. It didn't look like it flowed in terms of depth, more like it had layers.

Avatar flowed beautifully. I felt as though I could just put my arm inside the film, or that I could actually step inside it. In some way Avatar looked more 3D than real life, due I think simply to differences in the way our eyes work and the camera works.

After I stopped crying and noticing the 3D, I just sunk right into it. Pretty much everyone seems to think that when I say Avatar was amazing then I just talk about the 3D and the CGI, but I'm not. They are simply tools of the film maker to make the story more real. I loved the story. I thought it was like Pocahuntas meets The Matrix, and whilst it might not have been that original in terms of the story being told before, it was certainly original in the way it was told.

Now a days it's pretty impossible to come up with a brand new story, because they've all been told in some way or another. The last few months I've been falling more and more out of love with films. I used to love them, but then I realised that in 2009 I'd not really seen a film that I loved in every way. I'd seen good films, don't get me wrong, Harry Brown is an amazing film, but it's not the kind of film that made me think this is the film I've been waiting for, and to be honest it's been like this for me for the last few years. I was really looking forward to The Dark Knight last year, and then it came out and I thought, there were definitely amazing bits in it, but it also had quite boring parts, and what I thought was out of place comedy, and not the kind you laugh out loud to.

Avatar has reignited that love of film for me. When the Na'Vi faced genocide in the film and Jake (Sam Worthington) flew in to rescue them and stand with them, making his big speech, I was just filled with emotion. As soon as he flew in I started crying and as he walked up to make his speech I got this feeling inside that I've only ever felt once, and that was when I saw my grandfathers dead body lying in his coffin when I was about 14 or 15. I just felt completely overwhelmed and hollow. It doesn't sound like a particularly nice feeling and it wasn't. But that fact that a film could make me feel like this just astounded me. The feeling stayed there until Jake began his speech and then the feeling slowly turned to hope and I literally felt like the Na'Vi. As though I was fighting for my survival, and for the survival of my people.

The only film that has come close to this amount of emotion for me was United 93. The last 5 minutes of the film are so emotional and horrific that I was balling my eyes out, less with sadness and more with fear. It was after the film that I felt sad, and cried for what must have been 30 minutes after the film had finished.

But Avatar was so much more intense, I almost film like I couldn't handle it. And if I was the only one in the cinema then I probably wouldn't have been able to, and would have let myself go to my limit.

So you can see how this film is so much more than just a film to me. The reason I was taken to this emotional place was because I felt like part of the story. The music encouraged me to feel this way as well, and I get chills just from listening to the Avatar soundtrack. But whilst music might provide a lot of the emotion in films, I felt that with this film what pushed the emotion even further was the 3D and the CGI.

With all the great films I don't feel like I'm watching a film, I feel part of it. However, I still always know in the back of my mind that I'm watching a film. With Avatar I wasn't watching a film, and after the film finished I had to remind me that it was a film that I just watched and that it wasn't real, because throughout the film my mind was telling me that it was real and that I was witnessing real life. I left my body in the cinema and went to Pandora. For me the events in Avatar were real, and I was there to witness them.

2010: My Decade

2010 is the start of a new year for me as it is for all of you. However, it's also the start of the most important decade of my life. In summer 2011 I will graduate from my Digital Film Production degree and be entering the real world, where I'm going to make it in the film industry. I'm not aiming to be the next big Hollywood director, all I'm aiming to do is make the films I want to make and earn a respectable living.

I'll be entering the industry during an important stage in it's evolution, which it's still going through, and I will therefore need to open my mind up to new ways of thinking. Not just in terms of film making, but also in terms of business models. In a world where everyone with a mobile phone can make a film, what is it that sets me apart from the rest of the human population? And how do I make money from the film I've made?

I'm going to be exploring something this month and next month that I've never seen before, and having already done some tests, I think it is going to turn out better than I had initially expected for the way I'm going to film it, which is basically what makes the film. I'm not going to say any more on this project until it's finished, because I want to get a fresh reaction from the audience on what I think is a fresh new approach to the type of film I'm going to be making.

I've also got quite a few side projects that I'll be working on this year. And looking at how busy I'm going to be this term, I'm starting to think that I might have said yes to a few too many projects.

When I go back to uni, I'll be finishing off work on Distant Donors (progress report below) and starting work on some narrative films. I'm going to have to do some serious script writing before then if I want to get one of my ideas chosen, which I really really do, because I'm dying to direct having done none since about April last year. I think I'm going to be writing quite a lot this year, as I'm also doing a screenwriting module.

In other news, this is how things are with Distant Donors. This video shows you where we're at with the edit. As you can see there is still a lot of work to be done on it. I've managed to get my friend Tom Law to write some music for it, which if we use it (as other members of the group are also trying to get people to write music for the film), will be dispersed throughout. Currently we've got some temp music in for the last couple of minutes.

I've found working on this film rather boring in terms of the job that I've had to do. Boom Operator is not a job I ever want to have again. I did get to use the camera during the last few days of shooting, as we did quite a lot of cutaways in the car. We must have filled about a tapes worth of footage of stuff we shot in the car, and I think only one of the shots is actually in the current edit. Which is the shot of Jack in the car at night, the only shot of mine which has been used so far. Is it too much to ask for an additional camera operator credit!? If that's the case could I push for some sort of edit credit as well, as I put a couple of shots on the time line!?

And here is the music that Tom Law has written for the film:

I should have the finished piece for you next month.
