Going on a short field trip with work to an Ag show, here in town. [:)]

Our clients are almost all in the agriculture industry, so it's a familiarization exercise for most of the employees at our company who have never been exposed to farming, etc.

Any animal agriculture in the mix there, hoss, or is it all crop stuff?

I recently completed my second short film 'The German', starring Toby Kebbell (Control, RocknRolla and the up-coming Prince of Persia) and Christian Brassington (Elisabeth: The Golden Age and Easy Virtues). I wrote and directed the film.

The blurb!

November 1940, during the greatest conflict man has ever known, an epic duel unfolds between two ace pilots, each willing to take the match to it’s ultimate conclusion. Unknown to the pilots is a fate neither has considered.

The German is a war story seen through the eyes of RAF officer A C Barton (Kebbell) who will take his fight to the very end. The singleminded desire for revenge drives Barton, but when it comes face to face, can he pull the trigger?



Shot on 35mm (anamorphic), and posted at 2K, the opening of the film is an aerial battle between a British Spitfire and a German Me 109, all of which I completed here at Image Now Films over a six month period. This is a combination of Live action/stills and fully CGI shots.

I have made up a website for the film, which has a trailer and effects breakdowns and a small behind the scenes clip. I have also written a little about the process involved.

Pretty much like the my last short film, A Lonely Sky, the film was made on a relatively small budget (70K euro). It was funded by the Irish Film Board, under a short film scheme they run.

While that sounds a lot, when broken down under the regulations for filming, it all disappears very quickly. The Effects budget was a big fat zero, so a lot of long hours again.

Unfortunately I can't put the film on the web yet, because of film festivals. It was selected for Palm Springs, and LA Shorts as well as the San Paulo film festival.

Please let me know what you think.

Thanks

Nick

Apartment. Your basic hot-water radiators on the walls.

In other news, my poor mom's heating has failed in her living room... She can't get it fixed until Monday. BAD timing.

Yeah, heard that. Helicopter evacuations in E. Europe too. Why such a high death rate, guys?

It gets cold in many parts of the world-usually (unless there's a blizzard or other storm) people don't die in large numbers from the cold, per se, though. Is the storm affecting those that are unaccustomed to it or those with poorly insulated / heated homes?
