we are the physics: February 2008 Archives

We are pretty much crewed up for the music video for We Are The Physics.

We are also quite well sorted on the locations front.  Although I will be doing a good long walk in the rain tomorrow taking pictures and trying to get everything nailed down.

We have a fantastic team on board so fingers crossed everything turns out good.

It's a kind of Glaswegian take on the Attack of the 50ft Woman - proper B-movie fare.

One of the realities of making a short film is that there isn't much money involved - i.e. you don't get paid for your work, certainly not initially.  It is a labour of love, or a compulsion at least.  The knock-on effect of that is things have to slide a little when the offer of paid work comes along.

To this end Brian (producer on I Love Luci) and myself are making a music video.  Again, not a particularly lucrative profession but any little contribution to the coffers is always welcome so this will help while we're getting the script in shape.

We are working with a fantastic young Scottish band from Glasgow - We Are The Physics - on their next single release You Can Do Athletics.

If you like fast punky pop then these guys are for you.

Of course, this has involved a good bit of writing and research to get to the point of commission and I am now about to write a detailed script.  Once the script is in order the next steps will be scheduling, budgeting and crewing up for a shoot in the very near future.  Exciting stuff and very good fun, if a little on the stressful side as with all film making.

The production company is Sigma Films and the record label is Fake DIY Records.  I'd also like to put a little nod towards Gill Mills and iCast for making the introductions.
