Showreel 2011 (v1)

Hello Bloggers

I am back after a haircut and lots of sleeping, however you can't call me lazy as I have finally put together my 2011 showreel. This is version one as I am awaiting some ice hockey footage from a fellow student here at Staffs until then a few more shots of my Red Bull X-Fighters 2010 Entry will have to do. The showreel contains quite a lot of footage from last weeks "Marionette" shoot (nothing with any spoilers in obviously!) and I got to say I am really excited to start putting it all together later this coming week.  The track used on the showreel is Jon Hopkin's "Candles" from one of my favorite films of 2010 "Monsters" if you haven't seen it yet, stop reading what I'm rambling on about and get yourself to blockbuster or something! Speaking of music I have sourced a track that I think would be awesome for the "Marionette" trailer and fingers crossed said trailer will be up on vimeo by this time next week.

I will update on Marionette's progress later in the week.

Marionette is Shot

Hello Bloggers

This week was the production week for Marionette and what a week. After some serious trouble with other projects earlier this week, I was certain that Marionette simple wouldn't happen, but how wrong I was. The first day was excellent we shot all the exterior of the location in lovely sunny Nantwich along with some interior scenes and today was all about the key creation scene of the film. I firstly have to say a huge thanks to all my cast and crew, Orla Mullan, Richard Hand, Marco El Gabry, Ewan Dyer, Kallan Treadwell, DeeDee Carey, Ben & Paul Spencer and Bobby the Dog. You guys cheered me up so much and really went above and beyond the call of duty, so cheers. Below is the wrap photo (unfortunately some crew couldnt make both days)

I wont be touching the footage until next Monday as Marionette was the last of the trio to be filmed and I am pooped! I've been awake far too long this week and plan to become human again over the weekend, and I'll enter the edit with a full of energy and enthusiasm. More updates will be coming in a few days.

Cheers
Rich
