3 Years Left

On BAFTA night last year I made the following promise/challenge to myself –

…that within four years I’ll get an invite to the BAFTA’s

So one year on, what have I achieved to gain that coveted invite?

  • A short film (now with lovely crisp clean sound thanks to the mighty power of Audacity).
  • A two thirds finished second draft of a sci-fi film.
  • A script and half a storyboard for a new short film.
  • Lots more exprience with Dramatica.
  • Experience of storyboarding, directing, producing, editing and sound mixing a film
  • Not bad.

    Three weeks and counting to the Cannes deadline. As I mentioned, the sound on SToA is now clean (I might need to do a couple of scenes again, mastering Audacity’s Noise Filter plugin took a little while and later results were definitely better than earlier).

    Daz appears to be making slow but steady progress towards completing the music. He’s going through a big ‘thinking about it stage’, which I hope will culminate in a flurry of musical activity in the next week or two. His latest inspiration is Aeon Flux, which I haven’t seen, and based on his review (great music, but the films not much cop) I doubt I’ll be rushing out to see.

    I need to get the SToA web site completed (just a few more tweaks and twiddles) and get the pack sorted out for submission.

    I also heard back from Ben. He liked the script so I’ll be meeting up with him this week to discuss it further. With only 9 days left of the month and Ben (as far as I know) away most of March filming, I don’t think the short will be shot any time soon. But as the storyboarding is taking more time than planned I shan’t be losing any sleep over it.
