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?
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.
