"Edna"

Do you like animation? Charlie Chaplin? Dinosaurs? E.T.? True love? Happy endings?

It's all here in this one short film, made by Thomas Giusiano and Matthieu Rey.

(You'll get more out of it if you can recognise some classic moments from Chaplin's movies.)

Interview with Patricia Hetherington

Patricia Hetherington is a New Zealand producer who has been involved in filmmaking since 2005.  
    She moved to London earlier this year, where she now works as an Assistant Registrar at Hult International Business School. In her spare time she likes to tango, attend filmmaking seminars, or work on films. In the short time she has been in London, she has worked on four U.K. films, in roles ranging from production runner to camera operator to director of photography. Oh, and, for exercise, she does bellydancing.
    It's not every day you have a bellydancer drop by your blog and say nice things about it, so when that happened, I took the opportunity to ask her some questions.
________________________________________________________________________

*  Where were you born, and where did you grow up?

I'm from Wellington, New Zealand, born and raised. My mother was English; my father, Kiwi. Both were storytellers. My sister and I grew up hearing about my mother's life travelling the world (her family lived in Kenya for a few years). My Dad could hold court with his tales.

* Can you tell me about your film studies?  Did you go to Film School?

Alex Funke
I'm passionate about film, so my plan was always to go to university and study it. My undergraduate degrees were in Film Theory and Music Composition at Victoria University of Wellington. I was drawn back to study after working, completing an Honours degree in Film part-time. One of my courses was Film Production with Alex Funke. It was competitive to get in. I didn't think I had the necessary experience. Working on my portfolio for the application, I realised that the little film projects I had been doing here and there over the previous 5 years was actually good experience.
Going to Film School has some benefits, as does getting on as many sets as you can. or just making your own films. I think Film School can be more beneficial if you have theory behind you, and have already worked on building up your networks. So I haven’t ruled it out for Masters study. But at the moment I’m making films... which is the best education there is.

*  When did you first take an interest in storytelling?

I grew up with storytelling. But when I was about 15, I realised that I had stories I wanted to tell, and that I wanted to be a filmmaker. Well, a director. A screenwriter. That evolved into being a filmmaker.  

*  Who was the teacher who has had the biggest influence on you?

I’m going to rock the boat over here, and pick three! (Rebel!)
  • Alex Funke, for all of his filmmaking knowledge and enthusiasm. You ask him a question, and he replies with, "Let's try it."
  • Harriet Margolis, for her support, and for introducing me to Feminism in Film. 
  • John Psathas. His passion for music and wealth of knowledge just come across in his composition lectures. May we all have the same passion.

*  You’ve been involved, in various capacities, in the making of about two dozen films. Which is your favourite and why?

I'd say Harmless, because it was the first film that I wrote, directed, produced, edited, and finished. I learnt so much in making that film. I loved it when I'd finished it. Looking at it in retrospect, there are things I would change. But the experience of making your first film is unparalleled. 

*  How has Peter Jackson and The Lord Of The Rings influenced the lives of low-level filmmakers in New Zealand?


The good thing about having such a large production is that it employs and trains up a large number of filmmakers. It’s an investment into the local industry. Those filmmakers can take their experience and make work on smaller projects in the lull between films. A lot of filmmakers were trying to get work on The Hobbit.
    There is a boom and bust effect though. Internationally, large studios make films where the workforce is inexperienced (but enthusiastic) and cheap. The workforce gets trained, charges more, then costs increase. The studios move production to the next country that has an inexperienced workforce and is cheap, where the first country has a large unemployed film industry. There was a huge backlash against Actors Equity when people thought their negotiations were driving the Hollywood studio to move The Hobbit to another country. The government stepped in, overturned a court ruling and offered the studio tremendous tax breaks to keep production here.
    I’m not sure when the bust will happen, but I think the fact that Peter Jackson is still making large movies and has made moves to help and protect the Kiwi Film Industry is a good sign. And we’re doing well as long as we keep making Kiwi films on our own terms.

*  You moved to London at the start of 2012. What led to that decision?

A few factors. There was a boy... 

Mainly I’m here for career development. There are a great many opportunities here. Almost too many! I've only been here four months, and I've already been to a Producing Masterclass, Q+As at the London Film School, the Rushes New Filmmakers Market at BAFTA... I swear there is a film festival every other weekend. There's so much to do!

*  What was the first major difference you noticed about the UK?

People are allegedly not as friendly. If you're on the tube, you avoid eye contact. None of this striking-up-a-conversation nonsense. It's that stiff upper lip. I say allegedly

*  I took a quick look at the map of your London location. Does it feel a bit like living on a UK Monopoly board?


I will always look at certain streets and think of them as a colour. The Strand is red. Leicester Square is yellow. Bond Street is green. I'm doing an art project where I'm recording the ambient sound of a location, and linking it to photos. That way people can experience a location. A friend and I are extending the soundscape project to every street from the Monopoly board. We did Leicester Square last weekend. I'm uploading them to Vimeo, so keep an eye on vimeo.com/patriciahetherington.

*  Tell us a bit about the neighbourhood where you live in London. 

I'm in a place called Seven Sisters, which is in South Tottenham in North London. It (apparently) doesn't have the best reputation, but it suits me. There are large communities of Jamaicans, Ugandans, and other Africans. It's easy to get to most places on the tube or to East London on the bus.

*  How do you fill in your average day in London

I work in the city. My lunchtimes are spent editing, reading scripts, or—heaven forbid—relaxing; I try to listen to film or music podcasts (I recommend John August, Q+As with Jeff Goldsmith, Filmspotting, and The Empire Podcast) whilst on the tube or at work; and then my evenings keep getting packed: dance classes, film screenings, Q+As, catching up with friends. I'm working on finishing some editing projects, and entered a script competition recently. 

*  Did you enjoy the Olympic Games? Or did they increase the hassle in getting about London?

Actually, the Olympics made getting around London (at least where I'm going) easier! It was brilliant. They did such a good job scaring people off the tube and away from the city/working from home/biking to work, that the tube is much less crowded and there are fewer delays. Also where I work is quiet, as it's the media hub. 

The Tube: so quiet, the Prime Minister uses it...
*  What’s happening with your short film The Lake?

It's been a long journey. At the same time as producing The Lake, I've managed to finish my film studies and produce four other short films. Currently we’re waiting on the final cut from the director. The composer is working on the music, I'm working on the sound design (in my spare time), and the director has been working on the colour grading. I managed to arrange a consultant colour grader to help him. We're working on getting it finished within the next two months.

*  You describe yourself as a “Filmmaker, Bellydancer, Composer, Administrator.” What led to the bellydancing?

Patricia shows how...
My aunt teaches. She was one of the first people to bring belly dance to New Zealand, having learnt it in Australia. I started having classes with her in 1999. I loved it, and kept doing it. I was teaching Beginners Classes in Wellington for a couple of years before I left. My career development here is also for my dancing; I've joined some classes here, and am getting involved with the scene. 

*  You’ve been involved in filmmaking in various capacities since 2005. Do you have a grand plan, or are you simply following opportunities as they arise?

There's an element of getting on as many film sets as I can, so I can network and meet people here. I haven't got the networks here that I had in Wellington, so it'll take me a little while to get back into producing. I love producing, because you have to know everything about filmmaking. I'm focussing on three areas: Production, Camera, and Sound. And I'm still doing small projects of my own.

What one book would you recommend to a young wannabe filmmaker in Adelaide
The role of the producer is shrouded in mystery for many filmmakers. Turman's book helped me realise that I am a producer.
    I'm currently reading 'Story' by Robert McKee. 
    I'm also trying to read 100 produced scripts: this was a recommendation at the Producers Masterclass. Read 100 produced scripts so you can recognise great writing, then read 100 unproduced scripts so you can recognise not-so-good writing (or not yet recognised great writing). The aim is to get to the point where you're bored reading scripts, so good writing pops out at you.

*  Name ten of your all-time favourite movies.

________________________________________________________________________

The following video was put together by Patricia at Leicester Square, London, in July 2012. It consists of a series of photos mixed with a recording of the ambient sound there. The aim is to transport the viewer where they can see the image and hear the soundscape. (It reminds me a little bit of the Francis Ford Coppola film, The Conversation.)

"Steve Martin's Love of Art"

One of my all-time favorite movie scenes is of Steve Martin, in L.A. Story, standing in front of a blah-nothing-fence-painter's canvas in an art gallery and describing it to his friends as a panorama of erotic intensity, before the camera pulls back to show the painting for what it really is. 

(My apologies to the artist, who I'm sure has more talent in his little finger than I have in my entire... etc.

The following video consists of Rita Braver conducting an interview with Steve Martin, inside New York's Whitney Museum, talking about his real-life experiences as an art collector and as a novelist who had just published the book An Object of Beauty, which tells a story of ambition and deceit in the New York art scene.  

The video includes a few clips from L.A. Story which illustrate the part imagination plays in the true appreciation of art. (But not the fence painter's scene. Sorry.)

Well, okay then, you don't have to push. Here's the extract of that scene from the screenplay of L.A. Story.


HARRIS
          I like the relationships: each character has its 
          own story.  I mean, the puppy is a little too much

          but sometimes you have to overlook things like that.  
          But the way he's holding her! ... It's almost filthy.  
          He's about to kiss her, she's pulling away a little
          ... the way his leg is smashed up against her.  And 
          look how nicely he painted her blouse, kind of 
          loose, transparent; you can see her breast under 
          it touching him about here ...
                          (he indicates)
          
It's pretty torrid.  And look at the people
         
peeking from the doorways all shocked.  They wish.

         
When I see a painting like this, I must admit,

         
I get a little ... well let's just say ... uh

         
... emotionally ... erect.

We see the painting he's talking about. It's a big ten-by-twenty-foot canvas that is solid pink.

In this interview there are the usual Steve Martin bon mots, including the following perfect description of writing: 
"There's finding the idea, there's finding the words for it, and then there's finding the exact words for it."

"Vag Magazine"

Vag Magazine. Yep, that's "vag." Short for "vagina." Bet you didn't know I could say that!

And better than merely saying "vagina" would have to be naming your hipster third-wave feminist fashion magazine "Vag." Right?

This six-episode series was written by Caitlin Bitzegaio & Leila Cohan-Miccio, directed by Zach Neumeyer and produced by Nicole Shabtai. Starring Sarah Claspell, Nicole Drespel, Jocelyn Guest, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Meisel, and Veronica Osorio.

Here's episode one:
Vag Magazine founders Sylvie, Fennel, and Bethany lay out their editorial vision for Vag shortly after buying out fashion magazine Gemma with the proceeds from their Etsy shop. Staffers Heavy Flo and Reba are on board, but lone Gemma holdover Meghan is skeptical.

"Loom"

Luke Scott is the son of Ridley Scott, who directed Blade Runner. Luke recently shot a long-short film (20 minutes), called Loom.

The film was constructed for 3D. It was designed to push the limits of the cameras exposure sensitivity and colour range, and shot completely in 4K format, in order to help showcase the prototype REDray 3D laser player.

It's a family movie. The Scott family, that is. It takes place in a dystopian future—where meat is grown in silos for human consumption and genetic modification is commonplace
and stars Giovanni Ribisi as a laboratory worker. The film aims for atmospherics and openly acknowledges a stylistic debt to Blade Runner

[This film was brought to my attention by the Queensland writer, Vacen Taylor. Thanks, Vacen.]

"Specimen, Please"

It can be dangerous turning a joke into a short film; so much depends on your sense of humor. 
Visits to the doctor are rarely fun, unless you're asked for a "sample". But when a man's pride is on the line, a simple task can easily turn into a great challenge.
Your Sample, Please is one attempt, directed by Tom Antos, and starring Robert Nolan and Diana Schoutsen.

Blonds - 'Run'

This is not one for the littlies. No bull.

So much depends on your sense of humour, your sense of proportion, your sense of what constitutes a 'fair go.' 

It made me smile for a long time.

Here is the lead single, Run, off Blonds' new album "The Bad Ones."

UPDATE:
The original video has disappeared from YouTube. The soundtrack can be heard here. The visuals were brilliant, so that's a loss.

The Secret Train in Bloomingdale's

One of my guilty pleasures is trawling through the Scouting New York blog. It is the work of a professional movie location scout in New York and some of the best posts are photo comparisons of today versus the shot in a given movie, my favourite being Annie Hall.

Apropos of nothing, except my fondness for NYC and railway adventures, comes this link to the post The Secret Train in Bloomingdale's. The "train" is a restaurant, the design of which is (loosely) based on the legendary Blue Train (Le Train Bleu) which ran between Calais and the French Riviera from 1886 to 2007. Agatha Christie murdered someone there in The Mystery of the Blue Train in 1928.

There is a remarkably ornate restaurant in the Gare de Lyon railway station in Paris called Le Train Bleu, which was named after the famous train. There are "Blue Trains" in South Africa and Japan. There's even a Blue Train Cafe in Melbourne.

"Somebodies"

If you read the posts called The Star Wars That I Used to Know (July 2, 2012) and Making Making Mirrors (November 25, 2012) you'll know two things: that people like to parody the Gotye song Somebody That I Used To Know, and that Gotye himself likes to rework bits and pieces from various sources.

Here Gotye goes one better and reworks lots of those reworkings into one giant YouTube orchestra. He said of this video:

Reluctant as I am to add to the mountain of interpretations of Somebody That I Used To Know seemingly taking over their own area of the internet, I couldn't resist the massive remixability that such a large, varied yet connected bundle of source material offered.


Thank you to everyone who has responded to Somebody That I Used To Know via YouTube. It's truly amazing!

All audio and video in Somebodies is from the YouTube user videos featured, each of them a cover or parody of Somebody That I Used To Know. No extra sounds were added to the mix, but I used some EQ, filtering, pitch-shifting and time-stretching to make the music.





This is an enormous piece of work. You can track the individual contributions from the following list provided by Gotye. If there's a particular clip that appeals to you, note the time, then check down the list till you find it. Click on the YouTube link and you can watch the original in its entirety.
