A Massive Thank you to SP, I Had a Dream & You Made it a Reality

6 years, 8 months ago - Kristopher Williams

 
6 months ago, I had an innocent little question about anamorphic lenses and posted a thread on Shooting People, from that one post, a very talented and experienced cinematographer contacted me and I realised I had an opportunity.

  Before pitching my short to him, I decided to bring the script to life, so I drew some storyboards and animated them to music that I composed in a little trailer.

That piqued his interest and once he was aboard I realised I really had to follow through and gather a great team, I found my entire crew with Shooting People, and they were all incredible professionals.  Even though I could only offer travel expenses and food and coffee, as this was self-funded, the crew brought their A-game and showed such passion for their work.

  The universe truly parted the seas to allow us to make this film, I ended up with free flights to the UK (I'm British but live in Spain), local councils and buses gave us permission to film for free in public and everything managed to fall into place. We even filmed on an Arri Alexa mini with anamorphic lenses which was an incredible privilege. During post production it took me less than 24 hours get a recommendation for a talented colour grader who did a fantastic job!

  ‘Little’ (the short film) is now complete and I just finished the process of entering Berlinale (fingers crossed) and will be entering many more  !

I feel so proud of the team, and want to say a massive thank you to everyone involved on Shooting People from the crew to anyone who answered a question in the forum to everyone that makes this community what it is!

  I have made contacts and friends that I hope to work with for life.

  Here’s a little trailer:
