New Testimonial - Spiritual Contact - Making Dreams Come True!

Hi all,

I've received another testimonial, this time for my work on Spiritual Contact - many thanks to Emerson for such a nice review!

2 years ago we were in pre-production on my first feature film "Spiritual Contact". I talked with several composers about this project, expressing the maximum information about the supernatural events that I had as a kid, as I was looking for a person to be able to convey these feelings through the music.

Not very satisfied, I continued my search posting on several sites, until two weeks later when Andy Stuteley wrote me an e-mail, showing his work and interest in my project. Looking at his website (www.stootzmusic.com) I heard a song that made me call him right away, because it was exactly the style I was looking for.

One-and-a-half years later, the visual part of the film was done, so Andy and I watched the film together – it took us a whole day to review the movie and make notes and comments about it. How I felt after the spiritual attacks, the sounds I heard when my spirit was out of my body ... After 3 months correcting the dialogue, removing the background sounds, correcting and improving the level of audio and creating sound effects and writing and producing the music for the film, Andy sent me the final mix. After I put the audio and video together, I watched, and to be honest I cried with happiness to see how the music fit exactly with the film. Andy has done great work for Spiritual Contact and I strongly recommend him!! 

Thanks for everything mate, you helped me to make my dream come true. 

Big Hug.

Work in Progress: "Spiritual Contact" and "Arc of Violence"

Just a quick update... it's been quiet for a few months and then two picture locks drop into my lap in the same week... it's going to be busy!

Spiritual Contact

Emerson Pinheiro has completed the final cut and picture lock for the feature Spiritual Contact! I have a copy of the film and have already started work on it.

We're planning for a January 27th premiere in London, but more details on that soon!

There's been some press coverage though I'm not sure what their opinion is (LOL) http://www.urduwire.com/news/newsdetailimage.aspx?id=764518

Arc Of Violence

After some staffing issues delaying the editing of the film, Dwayne managed to find a new editor and pull this short film together... and it was worth the wait!

It's only 11 minutes long, but it's gritty and moody, packing a lot into that time. I now have the picture lock version I can get cracking on this too.

This film has some great direction and high quality camera shooting. It has minimal dialogue but enough to carry the story by the excellent actors, who really are bringing this alive.

Can't wait to get my teeth into this lot!

Been a whille...

Hey all,

Sorry it's been a while since I posted, there have been a number of musical and non-musical obstacles (including an operation on my arm) that had to be dealt with over the past 6 months. All done now so more time for projects! :-)

I've got a number of things on the go as follows:

• Spiritual Contact - feature length - about the ghostly sightings of a young boy (music and audio SFX)
• I've just finished the soundtrack for the trailer for this, which is going to be premièred at the writer/producers birthday party this Sunday 15th April!
• DIY- short and quirky comedy about DIY exploits (audio SFX)
• Mr No - short comedy - this has undergone some changes so I'm re-working the score and sound
• The Lost - feature length - this has been a labour of love for Johann Neethling but he's kept going with it and now the picture lock is almost done. I hope to be seeing the final cut in the next few weeks.

Also coming is a short horror called Arc of Violence which is about to finish shooting.

On top of that I am still studying my Cinematic Orchestration course which just keeps on getting better and better!

Busy, busy, busy!

Quick update on a few things as I've been a bit busy on music projects and a well needed holiday...

Just got back from a two week break in Cuba feeling hugely re-charged and ready to dive into more musical projects... just need to create a few more hours in the day!

"Spiritual Contact" - Atalaia Films - www.atalaiafilms.com
There was a minor setback for Emerson when one the lead characters backed out two days before a weekend of filming was due to start. However, things are back on track with some filming complete after a re-jig of the shooting schedule.

There is a new video from DOP Dave Moyles up discussing the film, with a few snippets of the music that will be featured in the film - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RISYQaDNUYQ

"The Lost" - ThamesGate Films - www.thamesgatefilms.com
Apart from his exams, Johan Neethling has been working on another important project... getting married! After a three week honeymoon, he is now back and ready to pick-up work on "The Lost" - there is a lot of work for us to do on the post production sound, so it may take us some time to work thru it all, but it will be worth it.

"Extinction" - a promo for Johan Neethling
Not sure about the future of this project but Johan asked me to do some post production sound on an 8 minute promo called "Extinction". The promo only had on actress in it, filmed as if talking into a laptop camera and security cameras, about the goings on in a research facility... it is simple but so well thought out and scripted, it's spooky and creepy. I created a whole environment of sound that Johan said was simply "perfect" - I must say it was a successful piece of work as it scares the pants off me! As I understand it, the promo is to secure interest for a full length feature version, but I'll post more as soon as I know.
