Well actually I supposed it was way past time for another blog post but such is life. Its not that I haven;t had stuff to blog. Just not the time to do it.
So hopefully this will be the first of a little flurry.
Starting with..................dundundundahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
HELLFIRE!!!!
Yes, THE Helfire. The ones certain military forces like to fire upon mostly innocent victims.
This was a short film Directed (and I think written?? Have to check) by the very talented Andrew Lowry.
I first worked with him on the film 'All you need to know about Whales' where his role was as 1st AD.
Amazing in that role and able to have a laugh and also get people into gear. This time round, just as amazing in the directors chair.
This was an independently funded film shot over three days on location. The location being a very small room in the MET University, packed full of laptops and flatscreen monitors. It got very hot and very smelly :)
It was supposed to replicate the control/observation room of a pair of Predator Drone pilots (is that the right term, pilots?) The green and red screens that you see in the shots will be overlaid with drone readout's in post production.
The production team describe it as:
"a satirical short film set in the murky world of the United States' drone assassination programme."
It was a great little film to work on with an amazing crew, great actors and and a good few giggles along the way.
The film is currently in post-production and should be finished soon.
You can find the Facebook page for it HERE
Here, as always, are some of my favourite shots in no particular order.
On set, there is always time for a laugh.......or a boogie.
The director and actor view the playback.
These were the laptops, each one running a display feed to one of the monitors.
