Mother Sky Edit Progress + New Project

What’s going on with that feature film you shot over the summer we hear you ask? Well, it may come as a surprise to learn it takes more than a couple of months to edit a feature film (usually it takes us 8-10 months). That said, we’re making incredible progress and currently have a solid rough cut, with audio added, so now comes the fiddly, tweaking portion of the edit. Tough decisions on what to cut back to shorten runtime, adding sound foley, getting audio well balanced throughout, then music (Sebastian Moody again), sound design, colour grade…plenty left to go.

We’ve been exceptionally fortunate so far for two reasons. One, our Leeds-based sound designer Ashley Tendekai has been ready and raring to go from the offset and we now have the first 9 minutes locked in, with great sound and picture set for a near-final cut. This was energising once it happened to say the least, as sitting daily to chip away at the mammoth task of editing a feature can become tedious at times. Second reason, we’ve run into no major obstacles in the edit; all audio and visuals have been top notch, so that’s a relief.

On another note, between taking breaks from working on the edit of ‘Mother Sky’, something else has been brewing in the background, our next project(!). While we’re keeping the synopsis under wraps for now, we can reveal that our next project – ‘Imagination Cemetery’ – will be a multimedia project incorporating dreams collected from around the world. We plan to utilise the internet, social media platforms, physical world publications and merge them with the world of the film in (we hope) interesting ways. It will be a genre-blending (Drama/Comedy/Horror/Fantasy/Sci-fi/Thriller/Surreal) multimedia project including (but not limited to) a feature film and mini series, amongst other things.

We’ll be revealing more early 2022. Until then, it’s back to the edit grindstone, and continuing to expand ‘Imagination Cemetery’ ideas and building on the structure of the outline we already have. See you on the other side!
