Well, we've done it - for better or worse, we've moved house, we have a home! Rather scarily everything seems to have gone relatively smoothly. Most companies have done what they are meant to do (not all, but certainly the majority) without too much shouting at robots on phones. Moving day was an experience not to be repeated for quite a while ( Read more... )

moving is, to me, one of the levels of hell. really high up. right there with scraping wallpaper. sadly, i've moved 16 times in the last 10 years.
and i'll be doing it again before long, as my house is getting demolished!

well done, though. much happiness and contentment is wished on you both!

onto business - time has reared it's ugly head at me. most alarmingly. the summer filming schedule has been one of stress, little ego spats (bloody teens and barely 20-somethings...), broken commitments and holidays. for other people, that is.
anyway. i now have til october 14th to complete this picture. we have approxomately half the film shot - though i feel there may be reshoots needed once i get chance to start putting together a rough cut.
anyway. given it looks like 7 weeks or so, i'm planning a tight timetable of shoots, then post production of editting, sound mixing and music.
and thats where your very good self comes in.
it would be most great if i could meet with you sometime this week soon and go through some tings - probly very brief at the mo. what i'd like to do would be to give you a dvd with some cut together scenes on, notes on where music cues are needed, and then have a time when i can come and see or hear your plucking wonderment.
i'm needing somethnig the same with aurellian, sadly i've not been able to find a violinist.
i know term is starting up again (did you say you're returning to uni this year?) but i'd be greateful, a least to know if you're unable to.
like i'ev said from the start, the music needed is minimal and quite simple. a handful, maybe four, cues. something sad, lonesome, somethnig plodding and melancholic, something mysterious and almost magical, and something representing emptiness. from those four themes (lonely, plodding, mystery, empty) variations can be brought out - different key, on piano etc.
each cue is probably only about a minute or so long.
anyway. my mobile is 07751201906. will be delighted to see and work with ye!!

That won't be a problem at all. It would actually be much easier to work on the music if I've got some scenes to work from - am really looking forward to it actually. I also have an unfortunate habit of making people cry when I sing and play (am not sure if that is an endorsement really!), so the lonely, plodding and empty shouldn't be a problem. Will work on the mystery for you. Our home number is 01642 612333.
