SCREENING: FRIDAY 8TH JANUARY 2010
I Love Luci's UK premiere is this Friday at the ICA in London as part of the London Short Film Festival.
Tickets are still available via the festival site.
If you get a chance to see the film and feel like rating it we'd be delighted if you would pay our page on the festival site a visit and made your mark:
Last Thursday we went on a not so secret mission to 'pick-up' some shots for the film. There are many reasons for doing this. Primarily in this instance there was an aspect of the script that had been heavily debated in the development stages and had become kind of diluted by the time we shot the film.
It was impossible to tell this at the time, but with hindsight (and a little blindness along the way) I felt that the potential for a couple of extra shots to help the movie along would greatly enhance the final outcome. The rushes (exposed film) arrived this morning. They will be mute until we can get our hands on an Avid but we'll be able to see what's going on soon enough and whether or not the shots will cut into the film.
Tense times.

We are very near the end of the mix and it is a beautiful sounding thing indeed. All that's left to do is make the track at the end sit nice and loud and clear and give everyone the feeling we want them to have as they leave the cinema.
We have the wonderful King Creosote and Domino Records to thank for our final track, I won't tell you which one it is suffice to say you should go out and buy everything KC have ever published. I am a fan for sure.
Their latest oeuvre is available via all the usual portals and some sample listening to treat your lugs to can be found on Myspace.

"We use the three beeps system here at Savalas...", Iain's opening gambit to the start of each ADR session with an actor begins with a brief explanation of what they will hear in their 'cans'. Three beeps and then they begin talking, hopefully in sync with the picture on the screen.
Yesterday we had 3 of our cast in to re-do and in some cases re-invent some of their lines. We started with Sanjeev Kohli, a very well known Scottish actor and ADR veteran judging by the way things went.
As with all the cast we got some real gems but they didn't happen where I was expecting them.
Colin Harris was next up, followed by Camilla Rutherford. In both cases the covering of the original lines was a technical pursuit, trying to recreate the performance from the shoot and while interesting wasn't nearly as fun as discovering the stuff that we could add to enhance the shape of the film. This largely came in the form of laughs, breaths, sighs, coughs, audible shrugs and other minutae. This stuff was great fun to do and it was a real pleasure to be afforded the opportunity to do this level of detailed work.
Many thanks to all involved:
Cast:
Colin Harris, Sanjeev Kohli and Camilla Rutherford.
Technical:
Recordist: Iain Anderson; Sound Designer: Douglas MacDougall; Voice Coach: Ros Stein
The last person I would like to thank is Joe, the night security guard at Film City Glasgow, who very kindly allowed us to interrupt his rounds to come and do a line that I hadn't put in the script. The line covers a security guard at the end of the film - a nice authentic touch we thought, and a great voice.
NB There will be a few crap photos to follow, I promise.

These are bloody great.
In preparation for our trip to Berlin (NB Luci is not screening at the Berlinale) I thought it would be a good idea to have a business card - all very stuffy and old school I know but it is still a thing that makes sense and is a little something for someone to take home - just ask Hugh about the virtues of business cards.
A couple of years ago moo cards were all the rage so I thought I'd take a look and see if they are still around. And they are. This is so simple, so cool and so perfect in its conception it's irresistible. So for those of you as slow on the take up as me I recommend getting yourself some of these if you need a business card. What's more, it's cheap enough to get them for something specific and then get a new design for the next thing you're going to.

We got a brief and totally inaccurate mention in the Telegraph online today because Camilla (Rutherford) is working in Monaco this weekend:
The decorous actress has just forsaken the rainy streets of Glasgow, where she had been making a grimy film about heroin addiction, for sunny Monaco, where she is to be the president of the jury of the Angel Film Awards at the Monaco International Film Festival this weekend.

Our film is not 'grimy' or about heroin addiction. It does star Camilla though so they got that right. Hopefully next time they'll mention the title...
