'Making Of' Interviews

This is not a post about how to make interviews..

Seen as the final Making Of is so heavily cut, I thought I would upload the more full versions of some of the interviews in the run up to the Degree Show..

Finished Premiere Postiere

Okay, it's not a Postwoman. Sorry for building you up with the title..

It's a poster for the film, and, well, here it is. Touched it up, and I can leave it there and say 'it is finished'. Now onto all of that other stuff which is underway but not yet finished..

Remember, 18th-27th of May 2012. Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, Perth Road, Dundee.

Thoughts On Poster So Far?

Still to paint up the hand, render higher res' version of newspaper image...

Digital Stills

Well, that's the film in for assessment. There were a few issues with codecs, but there is obviously time to re-render/sort the final piece (which is being shown publicly from the 19th of May until the 25th at DoJ, Dundee), etc.

As a means of teasing you, here are the three digital stills which were submitted.
