Venn - Episode 0


This is the teaser episode for the upcoming series from Spinneyhead Presents. I'm working on a business plan to film at least one episode a month and back them up with workshop and "how to" pieces.

Spinneyhead studios shopping list
I plan to put some applications in for funding, effectively requests for an equipment budget for Spinneyhead Presents. It's always good in those situations to know what you're asking for the money for, so it's time to draw up a shopping list. I've asked Alan to look into sound equipment, so I'll consider some video and software requirements.

We really need a better camera. A good high definition camera like the Canon XH A1, for example. I read a neat suggestion in a review about shooting footage in high definition and using the larger image to simulate pans and close ups in the editing for standard definition output.

To get the steady shots necessary to take advantage of HD in this way we'll need a solid tripod. I'd need to do some more research, but Manfrotto is a name that came up in an initial search.

EBay may be a good place to go for lighting equipment. But I'll look into some of the options suggested in this article first.

Software wise I'd like the latest version of Adobe Premiere Pro, or, even better, the full CS3 production bundle.

I shall expand on this list as I think of new stuff I need.

The trailer for Memory is now online


From Spinneyhead Presents-

Memory

Original music by Alan Ward.

Featuring Mary Hooton, Kate Ambrose and David Robertson.

Thanks also to Clare who helped with the initial edit that I've tweaked to come up with this version.

It's permalinked here if the embedded Flash version isn't working for you.

We should be filming the last of the footage we need in the next week or so, and then I'll get down to editing it all together. After that there'll still need to be a last session recording voiceovers for the stuff we shot in Salford Quays because all you can hear is wind noise..
