Shared Creation

Things That Happen When Filming 2 from Robert Davies on Vimeo.

This is part two of my occasional look at the ridiculous side of making films with no budget. Once again the footage is taken from our last ‘Consumed’ shoot. A sneaky preview of that shoot is out (I’m just waiting on some music to finish it). We also have another shoot planned for June – so hopefully more ‘Things That Happen’ then

Now back to the Things That Happen series. It started as an accident – something to do with unused footage , of which there is often plenty. There’s something else about this that is important. I wanted to capture something that is so often left out of making of documentaries, and that is the atmosphere and sense of fun that comes out  making a film.

Whether or not the film is good you can bet that the people making it will have a experience, and all being well a good one. I think it is important to focus on that and share the fun.

It follows one of my rules for creative endeavour – do it for the right reasons and good things will follow. Sometimes that will lead to success and sometimes a good time. Either way it is good.

So I will keep on capturing the silly moments of film making. All being well people laugh and someone will give it a go themselves.
