Cam and Pete have finished working their magic on the post-production side so Gayle’s movie “The Garden” will be hitting the big screen at the Top of The South Film Festival this October. I already have three other projects in various states of undress 😉
I was lucky enough to be invited to produce Gayle’s Short film “The Garden”. So far I have Acting, Writing, Directing, Music and Animation credits to my name, so this will be a cool addition 😉
We had a Blocking session last night and start filming with a night shoot this evening and a full day shoot tomorrow. We have some great local talent on board with Briegh (who is also Director) and Mike O’Malley acting alongside Gayle. Cameron Ross is DoP, Peter Blasdale is our Sound Engineer and Betsy Blasdale and Torrey Shay will be assisting wherever they are needed. I just need to get the food!
So NZ has come through the first phase of this year’s plague. We just have to wait for the rest of the world to catch up before we can re-open our borders. However there are much worse places to be incarcerated than NZ, and I think at this time contrary to this old song “We DO” now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYvMeT2GC14
2019 was a productive year on the movie-making front for me. I was introduced to the Top of the South (ToTS) Film-makers Collective and produced my first ever live action short movie. “The Morning After” is a 6 minute one-shot, monologue to camera, featuring a young Barmaid and her take on the world after the sudden and unexpected discovery of God by scientists.
I hope to update this website with some of things I have been working on since the last iteration of Primaveranz.com. The sad demise of Moviestorm animation software has meant that I have been spending more time on music than animation. I have also recently completed a short film which I hope will be shown as part of the Top of the South Short Film Festival in September. Watch this space…..;)
