As we reach the deadline, I advised Alexa on some final edits to the doc. I reviewed some of the unused footage that we had to see if there was anything worth using but there is only so much that can be done. With some more time some better edits could have been made but… Continue reading Finale.
Synopsis.
This is a short documentary that follows a producer and an artist creating music and exploring aspects of the process and life, all while sharing the journey with those around them, by having their friends explore themselves and their practice while reviewing what the duo do.
Feedback from Jose.
Jose was showing a documentary he had created some years ago which was interesting. Some of the edits from his inspired mine. He advised that next time I do a group project I do more storyboarding and weekly check ins with the group. I agree. I feel like the last few weeks could/would’ve benefited from… Continue reading Feedback from Jose.
Complications.
I had asked some friends to record some voice clips for the documentary, however they did not come through so we just had to manage with what we had. We had to make do with what we had and use my voice and Xaviers. Im not sure who Amani was get, but they would most… Continue reading Complications.
Progress.
We finally had a group session together where we recorded some more footage, and even did a few interviews with myself and Xavier, a photography student. As this doc comes together, I want it to be extremely free; just simply a in the moment, very raw experience. I put a verse down on a new… Continue reading Progress.
Getting on track.
The last few weeks have been rough. Getting the group together has been a challenge due to complications however this week we are planning a proper link up to get the project finalised. We had a phone call where I came up with a synopsis for the project and now everyone is working on their… Continue reading Getting on track.
Producer and Artist.
After many weeks, I was able to get a session done with Amani. I have done a few with Alexa but as he is filming and I’m not the best on production, It isn’t easy to get much done. Me and amani managed to record a bunch of footage of us making a track which… Continue reading Producer and Artist.
Final Thoughts.
Before uploading, I had sent the piece to a friend. He had mentioned that it reminded him of André 3000. I went and checked out some of his recent work, and one that stuck out to me was ‘Ants to you, Gods to who ?’ from his 2023 album ‘New Blue Sun’. André was a… Continue reading Final Thoughts.
everything/nothing.
Incompletenoise/everythingnothing is a 2 part piece that plays simultaneously together. It was created in a studio session with 2 friends which was initially set up to make music and create a completely different project. It has a lot of unknown aspects; ‘everything is random and nothing makes sense’, as we were just messing with microphones,… Continue reading everything/nothing.
incompletenoise.
I couldn’t explain to you what you are hearing. It reminds me of unheard screams. Very alien. Very out of this world. Or very of this world. Maybe sirens. Signals. I don’t know. I didn’t try to make this. It made itself. I don’t even know how long it is. I went to the studio,… Continue reading incompletenoise.
