HI all

‘Hot’ from the edit suite is our latest production, in which we worked with Talking Birds. For us, Mindriot provided a small crew and post production services for a two day shoot and edit. The film was written and directed By Nick Walker of talking Birds.

So what’s the film about? Who is it for? Well...

Its a short film which will be seen in classrooms. Something different, and a little bit of role play for the kids and their English lessons. The students watch the film and as the ‘Editor’ instructs them to write the story of Little Red Riding Hood into a news story for ‘The Paper’. Say 200 words and then they give them to the teacher.

For use we shot using the Sony EX3, Sigma20mm, 50mm, and 75mm lens assisted with the Redrock lens adapter. Very nice raw images, but on a technical note can produce a little bit too much vignetting around the edge of the frames and you have to be pretty spot on with the focus pulling.

Also for the shoot we used for the first time some new equipment and editing plug ins. Some which have been on my shopping list of awhile now.

The Glide Track HD

Red Giant Software’s Magic Bullet Looks

and an additional Looks package Vintage Looks, which we used in this film. The scenes with the editor use ‘Color Pop’ Preset (but with some minor tweeks.)

Well i hope you all like it, and please leave comments and click the ‘like’ button on the Vimeo page.

Cheers all.
