Soop for Brains |
""The Staged Production of Soop For Brains" is about mourning and a girl with a tough choice. It was shot in three days using an Auricon Pro-600 camera with color reversal film stock. It was an experiment with style and form for some future False Colour project ideas. There was no script but only a very basic concept that I led along as we went with a crude idea of where it was going and how it should be edited together. Stylistically the film was shot to look like an archival find from some old bin of 1960's Disney live action B-roll. On the camera and directing was myself with lighting and assistant camera work by Blair. The film received a telecine in Seattle, WA. In editing I created some 'warping' and 'film jumping' sound effects and used the actual film damage from the shoot (in one instance the film jammed up in the camera giving us several seconds of scratchy blank frames which I used in the first shot for the opening credits) to create a couple of bad spots to the final product. Some of the over-exposures (which occurs when the film is slowing down as the motor stops running at 24 fps at the end of your take) were kept in to maintain the unpolished final cut. The aged organ score in the background was mixed with some 45 rpm vinyl damage I recorded and was composed and played entirely on an organ by Jacob Kinch and Matthew Wade. Special BIG thanks to Nathan Snyder for all of his assistance in producing our little experiment and to the actors for their amazing patience." Mathew Wade, October 2007
