We’ve started filming and editing for City Wild and we’re posting some sequences to accompany our crowd funding campaign.
We accompanied the new Deer keeper Terry Moore and colleague Tom on their first day of fawning with a group of staff and students from University College Dublin. June and July are the months when the Fallow Deer fawns are born. For a few years now, the UCD team has been working with the Phoenix Park staff to tag and monitor all new-borns each year. They check their gender, weight, size and health carefully while wearing gloves so as not to leave their scent on the fawns so that their mothers will still be able to find them. Over 100 fawns are born each year in the Phoenix Park.
Camera on the video is by the project’s cameraman Andrey Andonov and also a student volunteered to have our small portable GoPro on her head when they discovered the first fawn of the season! Have a look here.
Well, hello, we’ve been very quiet since Christmas -ah those long distant holidays!- and we have been working non stop to:
1. Build the new website, Facebook page and pre-produce for our new short documentary CITY WILD. Why so much work and bells and whistles at this time, you may ask? Because we want to raise the minimum necessary budget to shoot a super film with your help and input! That’s right, we’re building our first crowd funding campaign. If you want to know more about the project, do visit our shiny new windows.
2. Leticia has also been involved in project managing a photo shoot with the swimmers from the 11 O’Clock Club in Forty Foot to make a charity calendar in aid of the Irish Cancer Society for 2012. They’re shooting in two weeks! And the photos are not au naturel -that’s old news, give us a little credit!- but 1950s humorous glamour -with swimsuits, of course and with the Forty Foot as the background, of course. You can follow the updates for that here.
3. Paul has been working on the animation series I’m A Monster by Strandlooper and Monster Distributes.
Plus, the other projects are being developed too -breathe, breathe… but hey, we’ve got a shiny new website for the new doc; this one was starting to look a bit clunky in comparison, so we’ve added a page about the directors and we’ve finally added some more projects to our films’ page.
