Production Stills

This shot took a lot longer than was anticipated, for little pay-off as well because the entire sequence was sped up so that it instead of the 5 minutes slow walk it was closer to 5 very jumpy seconds. But all in all our actor served us surprisingly well and put up with a lot more than I expected.

Shot of the ridiculous fake-blood we used, it took a lot of editing to make it look like decent film-grade blood. You can see Ben in the background wearing Will's (our actor's) coat from the previous still for the sake of continuity, we were filming a POV shot and felt Will's warmth was secondary to the plot of the film.

The beautiful sounds of the stepping stones water gushing away, it was so loud it over powered the sounds of the forest around it, I had to combine the sound of water running with the forest ambient track I had luckily recorded earlier. It becomes clear to me just how useful wild/ambient tracks can be and I will in the future make sure that these are taken care of properly.

Score planning

Brian Eno and his 'Music for airports' has been keeping me firmly relaxed for some time now, combine this with Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works and you have what I want to create, a melancholic, almost dreamlike ambient soundscape.



Effects and instruments commonly associated with this melieu would be the Piano, alongside lots of reverberation, delay and low frequencies.

Sound tracking inspiration

An assortment of songs which I have been listening to, which I might consider to be suitable for an experimental short.








I met Dan Deacon at a show once, he was a really cool guy

First draft of script

Rob's first draft of the script, as I am doing the Sound production and soundtrack I need to start thinking about both Diegetic and Non-Diegetic sound. This includes Foley effects, i.e. footsteps in the woods, ambient crowd sounds, Water running etc.
