Sound

  When Cory and I were working through the thematic elements of our piece, we already knew we wanted something dynamic and fresh. So we turned to the realm of the electronic for inspiration. What we found is that, for one, we wanted Dub-Step, and also that unlicensed Dub-Step is terrible. So we searched onward through youtube, to creative commons , and even so far s to reach out to popular Dub-Step DJ Skrillex, but no luck. It just so happened day of final audios, killer tracks came out with a Dub-Step album, and it was good. We then mixed that to our time and to our interview tracks, and we had a working audio track.

   In the coming work sessions we refined a lot of the audio to fit cues that we needed to hit the dynamic feel of our boards. Conversely, we changed a few of our compositions to meet the audio. Whatever really made the piece its best.

In trying to create dynamic elements we hit a lot of bumps in the road when it came to getting a good environment to capture the ink drops. Issues like glares camera shakes and auto focusing reared their heads a couple of times. But we did find ways to side step these. Re-shoots and tricky music editing cleared up most of the problems and left of with some pretty great set pieces.

SFF Materials

  For the Sarasota Film Festival my partner, Cory Fanjoy, and I are working on a project that really combines the tactile and digital in very dynamic way. So in order to get started with those we took some footage of ink drops, blots, and runs to use as elements.
