Chance Encounters

I would like to make a deeply humbled and grateful thanks to Frederic Tiberghien for the fantastic job he did on my head shots. A truly magnificent photographer; focused, talented, warm and friendly and a really great personality to work with. If anyone is looking to get some terrific photos done, Head shots, Fashion, etc; Frederic is your man. I loved what he did with my head shots and the re-touches were a furthermore original artistic touch which certainly brought character to the styles of people i was portraying for the shoot.

Below is his website, current blog (with info on how our photo shoot went down) and Head shots where you’ll find my mug. Lol!

Please do check out and see for yourselves!

Enjoy!

The Day I Tried to Live went on to win ‘Best Guerrilla Film – The Xristos Award’ at the International Action on Film Festival held in California. It has been shown at a number of film festivals including ‘The Zero Film Festival’ and ‘Portobello Film Festival’ in London, and is currently still showing. From the makers behind Propeller TV on SKY television (Chainmail premiered on Propeller TV in Sept 2008, to good ratings!) Propeller4film has to offer the best emerging talent from the UK and Europe to the web! We are happy to be a part of their collection of films.

The Day I Tried to Live brief Synopsis:
A space pod crashes from the sky and a body washes up; so begins a tale of one man’s journey of discovery. Yet, a tangible hope and a search to find another of his kind turns to desperation.

Making of Pictures:

Richard captures the right shot.

Jonathan get’s close ups of the three shadow men.

John and Rich.

In 2009, there was a 48hr SCI-FI film challenge held in London. One member from every team had to be in London… (Travel in itself was 3-4 hr to get there from B/sea, Essex!) …to be given:

1) A title for a film; ‘In Light of light’ was ours.
2) One Prop.
3) One sentence had to be said in the film.

We had to make up a whole story around the theme! So Write, Shoot, Edit, complete! And then of course take another 3-4 hours off that to make it back to London at the said time two days later. (You know you London Based film groups had an extra 6+ to sweeten your films It was a hard task. Many didn’t complete it. We are happy to be among the few that did. This isn’t necessarily a ‘Chance’ film, but certainly isn’t bad either. There’s elements of past work combined in the SCI-FI/Action element, I see watching it now which was a unconscious decision. But for anyone that know us we are quite the perfectionists!
The more time spent on the film the better job. In filming and post. (Read my rant on this soon)

As said not a bad film and we did complete the task. The most important thing! After all was done i slept like a baby for the next couple of days …

Featuring music by Simon Barratt and David Moulton who helped us out at the last minute.

So here it is for the first time one of our films online only on our pal Jeremy Campbell’s website Spidvid.com.

Enjoy!
