Only the titles left to do

Finally, Scotch Corner is complete. The titles are being rendered this week and then I can begin to get the film into festivals in the UK and Internationally.

Final edit

Finally a final edit (version 13) of Scotch Corner now exists. I am totally happy with it, thrilled you might say… so this version will now go into grading and have the final sound mix completed.

I can’t wait for it all to be done.

Fingers crossed.

Scotch Corner in ‘Design Week’

Scotch Corner has been featured in an article in Design Week. The article takes a look at designers becoming film-makers “Graphic artists, with their visual flair, should have a head start when it comes to thriving in the film industry. But think again, says Mike Dempsey, as he casts his eye over the history of designers turned film-makers.”

It’s good to be mentioned int he same article as Saul Bass.

Day 8 – Coco the Harris hawk

We have just finished the last day – so we are wrapped on the shoot!

We spent the morning shooting the scene where Cassie gets to fly a hawk with Peter. The hawk was kindly provided by Loch Lomond Birds of Prey Centre in Ballagan, near Balloch – a big thanks to Stewart and the rest of his team.

This image is an ungraded still straight from the camera.

After we wrapped we had a 8(ish) hour trip back to London and then Big Al, Little Al and Jacqui had a further couple of hours to Brighton.

The film is in the can – now the fun of post is upon us.

Day 7 – Caravan site

Possibly our biggest day. Having to shoot all the exterior and interiors scenes involving Peter’s caravan (including the final sequences of the film where a fight breaks out between Peter and Darren).

All went really well. We blocked out the action with the Lara, Ben and Anthony and shot the whole thing from a whole bunch of angles – it turned out really well.

No video diary for this day – but instead here is a clip of Ben Caplan (who plays Peter)with his thoughts on the shoot.

Ungraded stills from locations at; Loch Lomond Shores, Loch Lomond Sealife Centre and a phone box in Balmaha.
