Art on Film

 This is the 1st set for Art on Film, i helped out where i could in the artwork/set build on each set and the final image was amazing. I really enjoyed helping out on this shoot as it was so creative and everyone worked so well together.

                                    Me sound mixing, my job on the days but i helped in art too.

 The second set, a man telling his wife he's cheating on her, their child is on the stairs listening in.

                          Rehearsals, the child was sat at behind the banister, this is all in the studio.

                                                Before the sets were built or dressed.

 These are what we made trees out of, they looked way better on camera within the forest we made.

 George when he helped me carry 500ltrs of water around the building into the set where we created a small pond to look like a lake.

 This is the lake and forest i helped make in the studio, it was a lot of hard work but looks amazing!

                                  How the set looked from far back, totally different on camera.

 George and Howard when we were gathering branches and logs for the set.

This is a sheet from my sound notes i made on the day, as the sound mixer i had to make detailed notes on each take so they can be sent to the editor to make his job easier.
