A long overdue Blog post!
Back in May we spent a weekend filming on Sun Pier. Despite getting sunburnt in some interesting places (ankles being the best achievement!), the filming went really well overall! James Williams, the brilliant film maker we are working with, came fully prepared with a shot list so that the days ran smoothly. Our story boarding prior to the weekend came in extremely useful as we knew exactly what we needed to shoot and at what angle etc.
After a few days recovering from sun burn, we began the process of editing the film. Obviously, the majority of the editing work is down to James’s technical skill. However, it was important that Nicola and I had a significant input on the way the cuts were made and the overall flow and dynamic of the film. We worked closely with James to ensure that each section had the atmosphere we wanted to reflect.
Simultaneously, Janette Williams has been working on the score for the film. It has been really exciting hearing snippets and receiving drafts of the score. It is so exciting to see how the music has the potential to really compliment and enhance each section.
We are now waiting for the final cut of the completed film to be sent through later this week…very exciting! We will also be able to release a trailer for the film very soon, so watch this space!…
June 20th is the official launch for IN-SITE, we will then be holding events on July 25th and August 22nd to screen the film. Myself and the dancers are currently preparing live performance/ improvisations that can take place at each event. Its great to be transforming the work once again! We hope to see as many of you as possible at our screenings throughout the summer!
