‘Attic’ – Behind the Scenes (Vlog)
It’s been a few weeks since I’ve had the chance to post a vlog, mainly due to that fact that most of the content I’m shooting contains spoilers for upcoming Vultures episodes. I do have a behind the scenes documentary for ‘The Case Of The Poisoned Dates‘ on the way, it still needs a bit of work. But for now, something unrelated to Vultures, well… sort of!?
Over the past few weeks (aside from shooting Vultures), myself, John Morton and David Thompson had the pleasure of working on a short film with the Young Irish Film Makers. All three of us are former members of YIFM and we were delighted to be asked back to star in ‘Attic’. A short film written by David Galster which to the best of my knowledge will premiere sometime in March.
Aside from getting to just do some acting and not worry about anything production-wise, I saw the shoot as an opportunity to improve my filming and editing skills. I ended up with more footage than I expected, it’s always hard to cut things out especially when your addicted to special features and behind the scenes content.
Whilst this may not be the greatest behind the scenes documentary as far as the process of making a short film goes, it does offer an insight into how much fun it is to work with John Morton & David Thompson. Yes, if we’re not getting lost on our way to the shoot location then we’re breaking the world record for “c**ks drawn on a clapper board” or attempting to befriend swans!?
The above video captures our adventures and misadventures over the three day shoot for ‘Attic’, working with the next generation of Kilkenny film makers. I’d like to say thanks to all of the lads, it was a pleasure to work with you and I’m looking forward to seeing the outcome. I just hope we weren’t as big a nightmare as the video makes us out to be!?
Class! Didn’t expect twenty minutes, but it’s really good! Thanks a million, man.
“I just thought of three guys with the least amount of lives”
Ha! Legend.
Really interesting stuff Ross. I find this sort of thing fascinating.
Cheers David. I didn’t expect it to be twenty minutes long either but I said why not!? Behind the scenes features are always so short and we were having a laugh.
Thanks Darragh, I’m glad you enjoyed it. There’s plenty more stuff to come too, aside from behind the scenes stuff on Vultures; myself, John and Dave got to work with the Cartoon Saloon last week, doing voice overs for an animated short. All of which is on the way, once I get time to do some editing.
I agree with the twenty minutes being a suprise,Quite a savage suprise indeed!
Really looking forward to the voice over work stuff too man,
Keep it up
Evan
Cheers Evan, the voice over one should be considerably shorter!
