Video20Questions Podcast 4 Double Edge Films
What a coup to be able to interview the film makers Jamin and Kiowa Winans of Double Edge Films. They were great to talk to and impressed me greatly with their approach to the movie industry. The Movie INK was well received at the Santa Barbara Film Festival and now is being show around the country in the USA.
It's been six months since premiering Ink at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, and though we've been having a lot of successes, Ink has taken a path I never could have predicted. A lot of filmmakers have asked us about our strategy with the film and why we've made some of the decisions we have with the release of Ink. Here is a description of our experience and an explanation of why we're doing what we're doing.

I have seen the trailer for the film and I am so looking forward to seeing the movie, it looks so exciting. Not only are they from Colorado but they filmed INK there and used actors from the area too. Kiowa tells me that Colorado has so many different types of scenery just perfect for filming a movie, no problem in finding locations and even helps to keep the film in budget when you know the area and the people of the area.

Jamin has had a camera in his hands since he was 10 years old, making feature length films as a teenager learning how to cut and splice video tape, he must be so pleased to be using Final Cut Pro now.
So you can see that he has quite a background in making movies. INK most certainly is not his first movie and he has other movies in the pipeline for the future. The exact details as a bit hush hush but I bet it will be scifi in its outlook, he seems likes that genre
Kiowa has a huge involvement in the making of the film INk and has been responsible for the Producers job and worked the sound for the film. They have a small sound studio in the house where they sometimes whip out the senheiser mic and record what they need and also to combine with foley sounds to further enhance the movie.

Video20Q Podcast 5 David Blyth
In this podcast I am talking to a film maker from New Zealand. I really enjoyed my chat with David and I learned a few things along the way. He is has made horror films such as Death Warmed Up and worked with some big names from the Film industry as you will find out in the interview.
Presently he is taking trips around the world to visit film festivals to promote his movies. recently he was in Brazil His current project is a documentary which is family inspired and a follow up to one he did a while back. We hear about his influences from the film industry and talk about how he sees the business evolving. In this digital internet twitter age
He talks about 'Transfigured Nights' he has had aired on NZ TV which was filmed via the internet via web cams and men wearing masks. Interesting and a bit kinky.
David has a passion for film making and currently has a writing / film project in progress.
We chat about screen writing and story boarding and some of the nitty gritty parts of making a movie. I think you will enjoy hearing what David and I talk about in the interview.

I got the chance to interview Mike Peter Reed so that he could tell me about the 2 week film challenge that he took part in. The idea was to make a film in the space of two weeks. In the next round there will probably more films made because they rules give more time to get things ready for the filming.
The three feature films were made during the first round of the Two Week Film Collective in May (and you can watch The Dabbler and The Original Soundtrack online for free by clicking their links):
- @thraveboy – “The Dabbler, The Dreamer, and the Man Who Broke The World”
- @britmic – “The Original Soundtrack”
- @lmcnelly – “blanc de blancs”
Some Mac web sites that Mike recommends
I was also interested in what Mike had to say about the recording of sound and the field recorder he has. He uses a Sound Devices 702T and I would be keen to get something like that for myself for doing more outside broadcast type of sound recording. Would be great to get my hands on a shotgun mic and the dead cat wind filter, all to fit on the end of a boom pole. I did get looking at a few different field mixers and it would be really difficult to decide which would be best to buy. There are field mixers and then there are field recorders. The recorder seems to do the mixing too. I think I need to learn more about how all these things work. Could spend quite a lot of money on this sort of equipment with lavalier mics, shotgun, mics, carbon fibre boom poles, various cables. the best I can manage now is a Zoom H2 or to record direct into my Macbook. I did make sure that I bought a camera that has a mic input.
Raindance Film Festival director Elliot Grove interview coming next.
Writer Director Quentin Tarantino
I saw the interview with Quentin Tarantino last night on the Jonathan Ross show, OK it wasn’t in depth and more to do with Wossy making funnies but Tarantino was impressive in manner and the way he spoke about film making. The man obviously has a vision and wants to tell the story in his own was. I though the comment about why he uses music from old movies and previously recorded songs, was telling in the fact that he doesn’t want to give the control of any part of the movie, including the sound track to one other person. This means apart from being a control freak, that he really rates the sound in a movie to be very important. The clip of the new movie from him starring Brad Pitt was big in the sound department as well as having some wicked looking stunts.
I have an interview to edit of a guy in the UK that has the sound recording equipment and has worked on some movies as well as making his own in 2 weeks as part of a challenge to make a movie in that time frame. You will find it interesting when I get it published soon.
WNYC radio podcasts - Jad Abumrad
I have been listening to WNYC radio podcasts with Jad Abumrad and his friend for some time. Today I saw in my iTunes subscription this gem of a video which is really very creative and I enjoyed it immensely. So here it is for you to enjoy too.
I love the Magritte references in the video
