"Hi Dowan,
I am particularly interested in your ideas, I think you have a clear
vision and you CAN make this happen - it will be a lot of work, but
great things come from motivated people!
So we talked about:
Shaolin Kung Fu and the Animal Forms

Film Techniques / Echoes / Fragments of energy via:

You mentioned the Brighton Shaolin Temple, having made contact with
them and their interest.
Moving forwards you need to have completed this in the next two weeks!
1: RESEARCH
Collect existing films of the different movements styles - i.e animals
look at ideas of how to shoot - tony hill - perspective , rig shots,
go pro
research each animal what it represents
research sound that's appropriate to each animal, or rhythms
Locations? test shots - in a studio, or outside or in a temple
2. Create a synopsis and Storyboard - we talked about the animal
forms:
moving from one animal form to the other, dragon - snake - tiger -
panther - crane with a sound associated with each animal form -
eventually the sound / movements add up through layers building 'the
whole picture' the 'whole monk'
3. In terms of movement ideas, you need to visit the temple, ask them
if you can watch each of the 'animal' kung fu actions, watch these
from all angles, and do some test shots, how is the viewer best able
to experience this moves through the film - how can they best 'feel'
the movement through your film?
4. In terms of soundscore - do the monks inhale/exhale in a particular
way when they do the movements, can this be recorded and then
processed somehow to make more of the sound?
5. Be clear with what you want from the artists in the temple, i.e. I
want to make an initial visit to watch and film, do some location test
shots, then you want to go back and film, tell them how long you need,
ask if this is possible, mention you may want to record the sounds in
the temple etc. be organised and calmer as to what you want need. Do
you want to voice record conversations you have with the monks about
what you re doing - could this feature int eh sound score or aspects
of it?
6. Get a team of people around you! Stick to your guns in terms of
your vision - it is clear, get a team around you who can help with the
practical / technical aspects of shooting, editing etc.
YOU can make this happen! Just Do It - now is the time to be brave,
experiment and try things out. I'm here to talk things through, give
you tutorials so keep in touch!"
