Saving Uranus
Saturday, May 17th, 2008Team Gladius’s 48 Hour Film is finally up on Youtube. I’ve been meaning to take part in one of these 48 hour film competitions for some time now, so when I heard from Sarah this one was coming up I just had to join.
Most of the team (myself included) were kinda hoping for the Musical/Western category, which would have allowed us all to go completely insane with it, but we got Sci-Fi.. which made me utter the prophetic words “I’m so dead..” . During the discussions on Friday night it was like “We need Space” -Everyone looks at me- “And some space ships” -Everyone looks at me again.. Heh, anyway after a few hours of being locked in a room together we came up with the story.
The next day, while principle photography was being shot till 3 in the morning somewhere in Tanjong Pagar, I modeled a few spaceships and generally sat around waiting.. lol.. Then the whole team came together for the marathon editing/post production session. Lots of food from McDonald’s was consumed.
Many thanks to Eunice, Sarah, and Mike. Without their skills in After Effects and piloting of various classes of space vehicles I would have been swamped by the number of effects shots we had.
In all it was even more fun than I thought it would be, thanks to our stellar team of crazy people.
Looking forward to see the Director’s Cut..
