So recently fellow film maker and friend of mine Phil Coleman made a film called 'Empty Space' for his university masters piece. Quite the ambitious project to undertake Phil came up with a cracking script and vision for his film. I was asked to help out where possible and it was a privlidge to work on this project with a large experienced team Phil had put together. My duties as 'digital image technician' were mainly helping out where possible in all things digital image related (surpising that given the title! :P). The full list of credits and people working on the film are in the final release (will link when released!)

In summary what I did was mainly:

• Contributed time & equipment to make the film witha
• Take care of all flimed materials, back up the data, make duplicates so *nothing* would ever be lost (As per my never loose your wedding photos/videos promise for my wedding work, same applies here, NEVER loose any data or shots!)
• Helped out in a support manner to director of photography & rest of crew on set
• Did the on set photography stills, making of shots, behind the scenes shots etc

All in all was a great experience, and worked with many talented folks, and learned alot! :) The trailer for the film is here:
