Hello, one and all. I'm back, and with the first of what will hopefully be three or four blogposts chronicling the latest film project I'm working on - a short film going by the name of Deadbeat's Downfall (hence the name of the post). As those of you who read the post's title may well have guessed, I'm working as the sound recordist on set for the film, which is due to shoot next Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. I don't have gallons of experience as a sound recordist, but I know my way around the basic kit, so hopefully I'll be able to do a decent job.
And as an added bonus, I get a boom operator, so I don't have to murder my arms trying to hold the boom pole up in the air during lengthy takes. I'm basically living the dream!
As for the film itself, I can't say too much about the story (as the film hasn't been released yet, and I don't want to spoil it for anybody), but it's based on a wonderful script by Conor Dwyer, which has been adapted by the writing team of James McKeever (also serving as director) and Will Todd. It'll be shot on film, rather than digitally, and though it's only very short, it'll serve as an interesting challenge.
