DepthWish Productions
Saturday, April 24, 2004
Well, it's been a while since my last update. Lots of stuff has been happening.Production on Above and Below has been on going. Much of the shooting has been done with only a few technically tricky bits left to do. For example, we need to shoot some green screen scenes as well as "clone" a number of individuals to make it seem as if there are many more people present then there actually are. Once shooting raps we will begin the process of editing and compositing elements together. My job at this stage is creating some CGI elements and some particle effects, like clouds, and then working with Norman Szabo to put everything together. Once this is complete and a rough edit is done, I will begin writing the music and designing the sound.
Speaking of sound, it looks as if the actors are going to need to spend a couple of hours here at the studio doing some voice over work because we had some sound troubles while filming on location. It's really hard to find quiet in Taiwan, even in the country!
Another project I've worked on in the last month or so is Greg Tackett's CD, Acoustic Moods. My job was to clean up the basic tracks he provided me and mix and master them for CD duplication. For a couple of example clips check this out. For full song click here.
During the Urban Nomad Festival I talked to Kloie Picot about her documentary project. It looks like I'll be doing the music for it which sounds very exciting! Her documentary is about the Israeli - Palestinian conflict. She plans to submit her film to some big film festivals once it's completed. Check out her website for more information about her and her project.
So what's coming up? Above and Below will continue but scheduling difficulties have put things off for a few weeks. I'm also planning to make my directorial debut with my short film Manipulation. I'm looking forward to getting started on this as it should be a lot of fun.
So that's it. More frequent updates coming soon (as I always say)
