Fiction unit

I was up bright and early on Monday morning to do my shoot for my fiction unit and it all went to plan I'm pleased to say, I have spent the rest of the week at the studios editing it all together and its looking good although I am struggling as I was hoping to add a few effects to it but I'm not as savvy as I'd like to be on final cut, or computers in general for that matter but I'm getting there.

fiction unit; story board




So here is my storyboard for my fiction adaptation, I've had it storyboarded for about 4weeks but I've been so busy I haven't had chance to film it.
I don't want to give to much away but the man with a beard in the storyboard is going to be a reference to  "the jabberwocky" and I've cast this guy for the role.

As Live rough running order.

In the summer of 2010, Standing On Giants released their debut 3 track EP ...‘No A Medias’, with Alex Gettinby producing it before he came into the fold as a fully fledged member of the band in January 2011.
Standing on Giants released their debut single "The Signs" in August 2011 to very warm critical acclaim, followed by the 4 track EP it featured on, a month later. It was recorded at Alex's studio, but mixed and mastered with the help of Angus Wallace (The Prodigy, The Fall, Ian Brown) @ Far Heath Studios, Northamptonshire.

The Soundcasters



Members Simon Watson
Tom Webzell
Scott Russell
Matt Gibson
The Soundcasters were formed in early 2008 through a mutual love of a variety of music ranging from Latin Jazz, to 70’s Punk.
As young lads, this gave them a unique edge in today’s music scene of teenage bands and with such a wide knowledge of music it took a short while to find their original sound.
Their first EP had a 60’s pop feel to it that had a huge response from a mixed audience which expanded their fan base.
With their second EP, produced by local, respected musician Ben Jones, The Soundcasters have returned with a more mature image, feel and sound.
The Soundcasters are influenced by such bands as The Beatles, The Band, The Animals and newer bands like The Arctic Monkeys, which is where they developed their 60’s Indie style from.

As Live

A productive two days, Sunday night Lauren Woodfall and I went and meet someone who we had in mind as the male host for the show after chatting to this guy I think Lauren and myself both came away with the feeling that he's the guy we want to host the show, so all that's left to do now is to get him in for an audition and see how he handles a camera being pointed at him. Lauren and I spent a few hours in the library writing a rough script for the auditions.

Also after a productive production meeting with Hellen and the promo team it felt like the "As Live " wheels where starting to move, as we now have a few deadlines put in place.
