Dear Daisy

So the next PetelaWright production is well under way and will begin principal photography this month. We are shooting a short film with the working title of 'Daisy' mid-way through the month of April. Quite apt for the coming of Spring some would say, the best working title we could think of given the material I say. The film will be made in association with Pagoda Film and Television, produced by myself and Stuart Drummond based on a script we have co-written and directed by yours truly. We have luckily managed to convince the wonderful Team Mike to come and DOP for us and will quite likely be casting the lovely Richard Massara in a leading role (for a change).

We're shooting the film entirely using kit that could fit inside a rucksack but still maintaining HD quality. We're shooting with a Nikon D90 for 720p 35mm HD video goodness and a Zoom H4 for lovely crisp, sexy HD sound. There will also be a documentary suplimenting the film in true Planet Earth sytling showing how we shot this crafty little bugger with no money and only one little bag on our shoulders. (ignore the grip equipment and crane... that doesn't count... IT DOESNT!! :P) It should be quite interesting and will hopefully be at film festivals winning us lots of beautiful statuettes before the summer. I'm really confident in the script, cast and crew and is about time we made something new. Ex Cathedra is litteraly a week or so from being complete so hopefully we'll start shooting Daisy having Ex Cathedra at the final mix stage and we can all start creaming ourselves and pat ourselve on the back for being so awesome... not at the same time though that's just a bit weird and narcissitic.

Anywho, back to the secret late night project I'm working on.

I know Kung Fu don't you know ;)!!

p.s. watched all 3 Matrix films with Seb and Lyndsey last night and I'll like to say AGAIN that I think the genius of the bullet time in the first film ruined the second too. They were still awesome in my opinion but they'd never have been as glossy as they were had they not been given so much cash based on the success of the special FX in the first film. The look of the first Matrix film and the whole general direction oozes class. The others are just sparkly Hollywood masturbation. Sorry but I needed to rant about that again as I fall more in love with the first film every time I watch it and loathe the others that little bit more.
