48 Hours...Ready, Set, GO!

     The 48 hour film project is the largest short film contest in the world. Filmmakers write, shoot, edit and score a film in 48 hours, then see it up on the big screen!
This was my first 48 hour project and I'm hoping to do it again!
It all started Friday 21st September when we gathered in out teams at the Prince Charles Cinema in Lester Sq. Here we registered and collected our individual genres from the bowl and were told the character, prop and line we must all use:

Character: Charlie or Charli Cipriani, Minor Celebrity

Prop: Cream

Line: "Let me tell you a secret"

Our team, Fold Up Films, headed by Stephen Riseborough picked out 'Western/Musical'. Of course it has a comedy element in it too! The script was written over night ready for filming at 9am Saturday morning! We had so much fun, and it was total madness. Talking dogs, sombreros, mad chases, fake blood and even a fire alarm incident. Wrapping at 11pm it was a long day but so worth it!

As soon as I get the final edited film I will post it here :D

Here we are waiting to register - Group A: Fold Up Films

Our Clapper for the weekend! :D

Blooooooood...

    While working on the Terrorbytes promo trailer, I got the chance to learn many new things. One important one that every film maker should know - how to make really good fake blood!
So here is the recipe to use/share:

Fake Blood Recipe:

 

Golden Syrup

Chocolate or Coffee Sauce

Red Food Colouring

Blue Food Colouring

Mix together. If you want it lighter add more red food colouring, and for darker blood add more blue, keep mixing till you got the right colour and thickness. - EASY! :)

Summer fun...

    So many productions went on this summer. Unfortunately I have only just had time to start blogging again. - I know right! So I'm thinking of just Hi-lighting a few extra cool ones.

Terrorbytes - Film Trailer
Sunday 26th - Monday 27th August

    Ok, so due to promotional factors to get funding for the feature film, I can not post photos or information about the film until we are given the clear. All I can say is, what a film it will be!
We had a weekend of fun preparing the trailer, tackling through all sorts of weather!
A Thrilling script & cast, brilliant scenes & locations, plenty of blood and a killer rapper on the lose!
Full production starts next year.

Watch this space!...
