Red City Forum - An insight to how it was made

Well , here is my new film Red City Forum in all (almost) it's glory. This version has the complete video and soundtrack but is minus the dialogue as that has yet to be added by the actors....soon , i promise! :)
This version also has the original green screen footage running alongside it so you can see how it looked originally before all the digital pokery.

Enjoy ... the full version is around the corner :)

Red City Forum - Trailer 2

And here is a trailer with a few extra shots and the music that will be in the film ....


It's Done!!!

Well after many tortuous hours and much back ache ... my short film is ALMOST at the finish line. It still needs the actors to re-do their lines but all of the edit,sfx,music and sound-fx are now complete. :)

And just to prove it , here is a snapshot poster picture of the film from start to finish ....

I have entered the word of HD !!

Well , the XM1 camera i owned has reluctantly been sold and i have invested in a new HV30 camera. This camera has HD capability and records some pretty outstanding footage.

As a first test i romaed around the grounds where i work and recorded the pond life (no,not the employees!)

I think i got some things wrong regarding the compression etc ... it can look better than this i am sure but as a first outing it's pretty cool. Can't wait to get a film done with my new toy!!

If you want to watch it in HD , click Play , click the HD is off button and follow the links to the Vimeo site.
