New Commission - "Jess and James" - Emanation Films

Just got confirmation of the great news that I will be working with the Emanation Films crew again!

Their latest production (estimated a 15 minute short) is currently in pre-prod (think they are casting right now).

Production will be mid-late March 2013 if all goes to plan (and the weather gets better I guess!) so that will fit nicely with the other two productions I'm currently working on: Arc of Violence (short) and The Lost (feature film).

Arc of Violence is almost completed, maybe another week of effort required there, and The Lost will take a little longer but the sound palette is pretty much sorted.

Sometime in the coming weeks I'll also be publishing the official soundtrack to Spiritual Contact - which will be available via Bandcamp (as is The Point of Regret soundtrack).

Busy, busy, busy!

Spiritual Contact - Score and Soundtrack Completed & Premier

Just a quick update ... Spiritual Contact has been finished and the premier is tomorrow (January 27th 2013) at the Phoenix Cinema in East Finchley.

Emerson Pinheiro's dream has finally come to fruition!

The film stars child actor Adam Wilson, who's talents have taken him to the small screen on the TV series "Mr Selfridge" as the main man's son! Well done Adam!

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!

Credits Updated

Just noticed that my credits page hasn't been updated for about a year! So have slotted in the various things I've been working on and currently in progress... 2012 is going to be busy!

2010/11 were quieter times as I was working on my Orchestration Course and various things (like the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack album!) for the feature film The Point of Regret.

Just sent a draft of the soundtrack for "Mr No" to the producers... I think it's turned out pretty well actually, with a lot of live piano playing and a good mix of classical and contemporary cues. Even had the wife and daughter singing one of the cues over and over, and over again LOL

Have to wait and see what the producers say, but I think we're close to done on Mr No. They have another film "Arc of Violence" that is in editing , so I'll be on that one in the next few weeks.

In the meantime, Elizabeth tells me her shoot for "In Living Memory" went well, so I'm expecting a locked edit within the week, with a target date of the end of May to complete. Can't wait for this as it sounded stunning in the script!

It's so nice to be so busy - I'm working all hours to meet everyone's deadlines and provide the best soundtracks I possibly can, but I wouldn't have it any other way :-)

Spiritual Contact - Sponsor the filmmakers on Indiegogo

Hey all,

The filmmakers at Atalaia Films, who are making Spiritual Contact, have put up a sponsorship request on Indiegogo.

I'm doing the soundtrack for this so I am hopeful you can help them out - If you want to help get the film made, then please visit the link below and sponsor them.

Thanks!

Spiritual Contact - The Movie - sponsor us on Indiegogo

In Loving Memory - New Film Project

Got a really nice email yesterday from Elizabeth (no further details), asking if I would like to provide the soundtrack for a short film she is producing. Reading the script, it's a bit eerie with great imagery, and I love the direction Elizabeth wants the music to take.

Apparently, I was referred by Daniel Owen, who I don't actually know, but my thanks go to him for the referral!

Elizabeth reckons filming will happen this week, with a deadline of the end of the month, so I'm looking forward to getting stuck into that, with a quick turnaround!

I'll keep you posted how it goes.

... until then full steam ahead to finish "Mr No" first! (it's 75% done now so another evening and should be complete)
