Over the past six months I have been working on a documentary film which will be submitted as my dissertation by practice. The film is entitled Don Brett: A Life in Colour. It looks at my friend Don, who is an artist. He paints, sketches, carves and also plays music.
The King’s Head Open Mic night have started posting live performances recorded at their weekly open mic night, check out their channel for more live performances by me and other local musicians and poets!
Here’s this week’s ‘trailer for a fake movie’ that my friends and I have put together. This one’s more epic, higher production value (twenty odd quid instead of a fiver and a packet of crisps) and therefore took a lot longer than 24 hours to complete…
My friends and I are in our final year of a Film & Media studies degree. Four of us have been working together over the last couple of years and have formed a small production team. We call ourselves Perygl Productions (Perygl meaning danger in Welsh).
In the past few weeks we have also formed a ‘sister’ company for Perygl called ‘Cougar Films‘. This provides us with a practice ground for trying out different shots and SFX. It’s us basically having fun and indulging our love of grindhouse and exploitation cinema.
We like to do everything in-house and have challenged ourselves to turn out a slew of trailers for films that will never exist. The entire production from start to finish has to be completed in 24 hours and published on-line when the time is up.
Here is our first effort, filmed yesterday October 8th, 2012.
