Hello!
Its been quite a while since i wrote a blog, i do apologise I have been very busy sorting things out and creating new projects. Right *deep breath* here is what has been happening in the Bartolo Creations Lab:
+ Firstly! I have been creating a brand new animation project called Dreams In An Unstable Atmosphere, It was due to go live in December but due to events that have happened the release date has been slightly delayed. The animation is about the different phases of dreams that people can have when they are filled with many different emotions. It mainly focusses on how dreams can create dark emotions when you are feeling pain or heartache. I decided to write this script because I always create upbeat productions and wanted to explore the darker side of animations. I use a lot of dark colours to emphasise these emotions. The narrator of the project, Walter Mirkss is very good at changing his voice for different situations and he was able to pull of a creepy and dark voice to project these emotions. Below is the trailer.
+ Secondly a random fact about me – I love Silent Movies. Recently I spent the whole evening watching Charlie Chaplins’ City Lights. It is such a fantastic film, the comedy is perfect and right on time and event though it is now very old the comedy is still very funny to watch.
It gave me the inspiration to write my own silent movie. Back in 2007, I created a silent movie for my A Level Film Studies. I created a character called Mr Alf who was loosely based on Charlie Chaplin, i decided to bring him back and create a new film. The new film is based around the beach and features a lot of different characters including a posh man on holiday, a dirty sneaky pirate and a damsel in distress. Even though the story has stereotypical characters in it from the 30′s the production is going to be brought into modern day by using modern cinematography. I am really excited about this project as i love love love editing to music and found when filming and creating the first silent movie as a challenge that I spent a lot of time on due to it feeling like my baby. This will be no different. I love production process and when you see your script come to life, it makes you a very proud creator.
+Finally, I am going to spend the new year producing mini video projects, My first one will be based on Chicago. I am going there for Christmas and plan to spend a lot of time filming where i have been!
I would like to wish all my readers a Happy Christmas and a Happy New Year! Will see you in 2012!
Holly
