the fact that haven't posted anything in a month is an indication of what I'm going through at the moment with regards to the work. I have been doing work and i might post a few of the tests soon ( don't hold your breath, uploading to vimeo takes a while ).
I had a few indecisive moments with choosing the music and how that relates to images I've been filming. Oddly enough I've ended up going for a piece by an artist who broke a few moulds in the music field, John Cage who is most famous for his piece "4′33" which was four minutes and thirty three seconds of silence. the intention is have the audience listen to the surrounding noises of the concert venue, the creaking of the seats, people coughing etc. so each performance is different.
for the film I've chosen a piece called "in a landscape"(1948) performed by Herbert Henck (John Cage : Early Piano Music) Its a lovely piece that plays for over twelve minutes so I've had to cut it down to around six minutes (apologies John & Herbert).
I've had to compromise quite a lot due to the short amount time I've had for the project and a few technical issues ( my old mac finds in hard working with the Canon5D mark 2 files ) and not having a newer version of after effects, which i needed to animate parts of the fauna i intended to shoot.
The piece also needed somekind of narrative to drive it, so i've included extracts from welsh poetry about the landscape. I had decided to record a voiceover of a male deep welsh voice to read out the poetry with the text integrated into the images but i didnt sound right and started to overide the music which is the main focus. I'd even found original recordings of Dylan Thomas to use but again it doesnt fit.
Its turned into a kind of extended title sequence but using poetry extracts instead, the type will hopefully be integrated into the footage.
lets hope it doesnt take forever to render 8-)
