Iz real direktor naow
Screening went pretty well. A decent turnout, nice things were said. All a bit of a blur, like hosting a very short party. Cheers to those who came 🙂 and apologies for my frazzledness.
Was quite pleasant to see it on a proper cinema screen. Showing it at the burn was fun but the conditions were not ideal.
As it was, I was abundantly aware of every flaw, but still caught up in it and enjoying it. And it turns out the sound mix is really not optimised for a massive cinema sound system. So much bass and low end noise that wasn’t there on the speakers we were mixing on :/ Still learning. Should be fine on DVD through a regular system.
Overall, though, people seemed to think we got it, somehow evoking the spirit of the burn, which was the point, really, the challenge and the art of it; which, creatively, is pretty satisfying for my first whack at a new medium, and trying to capture something as specific, nebulous and beyond words as a burn.

Was good! Make another, please!
I agree with Pearce – it was really good!
(Although I’m pretty sure I did spot a hippy dancing in a field… :))
