Cool. I’ll cradle your inner Kubrick child. But for the sake of the god’s truth, stop dreaming and pick up a camera.
I started shooting this doco in July 2006. I had no idea how to use a camera as the following footage will attest to. But a funny thing happened. The more I shot, the better I got. I learned the secrets of the focus ring and exposure. Daylight vs artificial light. Getting good sound. Great advice: the audience will put up with bad video, they won’t put up with bad sound. You’ll understand if you don’t give up.
The future of the Australian film industry is you. Stop moaning and pick up a camera.
Here’s Scott Ryan. This clip was shot on my 7th day of filming. Try to overlook the technical shortcomings.
I have heard from a reliable source that the SBS show Scott is working on will be our next great tv series.
Big fan of The Magician.
It was an inspiration for me to get moving with “Mission X”.
Go do it!
