Production Meeting

So on Sunday I had a meeting with my actor/producer of my FYP film. During the meeting we discussed the story, possible alleys we can go down, locations and the cast and crew. I also plan on emailing Brian Cronly and Rachel Gregan who are two people I worked on a film with recently. They both have professional equipment so I wouldn't have to worry about rental, as well as the fact that Rachel has filmed videos for the likes of Mundy and comedian Tom Rhodes so she is a professional videographer which will mean a high standard of video.

Meeting

I have set up a meeting with my actor Colin Hurley to discuss the script and possible character development for my FYP. We will be meeting at the end of the month. I also hope that he will have a producing role for the film as he has good contacts for actors and locations.

IT'S ALIVE

I think I have managed to tie down my story for my FYP. After rocking back and forth and various ideas I have finally settled on a idea I am happy with and one which has a nice twist which I think will shock the viewer. I will start writing my first draft soon.

The Fun Never Stops

The past few days I've been in touch with 2 actors to see if they're interested in playing my antagonist Armitage Shanks. Hugh Gormley is a Northern Irish actor who I met while working on a short film called "Short Back And Sides". I considered Hugh for a few reasons but one is his command of the camera. He gives presence to a scene and it is vital I have that for Armitage. He has worked on big productions like Love/Hate and was also in Saoirse Ronans new film Brooklyn. We are still in talks about the role.

 

The second actor I have thought of is Barry Dobson. I meet him also on "Short Back And Sides" and he really impressed me with his role. Barry also has an English accent which might add a nice bit of flavour for the film and for the character. We too are still in talks.

Cinematography

I have tied down a cinematographer for my FYP project. Anthony O'Hara has agreed to join the crew as my DOP, however there are two people I am trying to bring on board. Rachel Gregan a film maker from Wexford who I attended college with in Griffith as well as Brian Cronly who also attended the college. Both have years of experience working on film so having a wise head within the crew will help.

Here is a video filmed and edited by Anthony which also has an appearance from yours truly.

Working Title

CLOTH

The working title for my FYP. After looking through some of my research, I think I might try incorporate my own version of waterboarding, which is a form of torture.

Actor Number 1

I have managed to tie down one of my actors for my short film for my FYP. His name is Colin Hurley and has a lot of experience working on short films. I acted opposite him on a film we wrote called "Psychodelic" this year and I have such faith in his ability to knock it out of the park.. I became friends with Colin during my time in Griffith College and has spent the last year working at Windmill Lane.
