A bit of a jack of all trades on the project, I was involved with everything from story to casting to budgeting. The multiple timelines rendered the edit a challenge, but drawing on my extensive experience from my music videos days I was able to juggle the material while remaining focused on storytelling. One bit of inspiration actually derived from Martin Scorsese’s Masterclass. At the time we were struggling to find the right beginning for the film. Martin spoke about utilising shots from other scenes to create new and unexpected scenes and from this I realised I could repurpose otherwise disparate and unused assets to create the striking introduction the story required. We finished everything inhouse including the final DCP.

We secured funding from an initiative providing filmmakers with the opportunity to garner a broadcast credit. It was an ambitious shoot with multiple locations and filmmaking techniques as well as a debut performance from our lead actor, Mit Lade. Fortunately, our lead actress Melissa Pengilly was quite experienced and really helped me with the process as did my directing mentor for the project Bill Bennett. He graciously offered me an insight into the methodology of an experienced and accomplished feature film director, much of which I was able to put into practice on this short and continue to use in my career.

The journalist penned the questions and interviewed the subject Nobuyuki for roughly an hour and then we spent 3 days filming him engaged in the various activities. From beginning to end I was only the creative present throughout the entire process of crafting the piece and was empowered to autonomously shape the story in the edit based on the assets we had accumulated.

Unfortunately, the band broke up right as the single was being released and the clip seemed to disappear into the ether. I eventually took some of the filmmaking ideas into my short film Close in Heart, but I still really love this clip’s style and storytelling, particularly the way we covered the band and pulled together the various threads of the narrative. https://danielprincipe.com/October-Solution-Lost Wed, 12 Jun 2019 03:57:07 +0000 Daniel Principe https://danielprincipe.com/October-Solution-Lost October Solution: Lost Music Video2015 DIRECTOR / PRODUCER / PRODUCTION DESIGNER / EDITOR / COLOURIST Hidden Shoal Records When October Solution approached CINEMÂCHÉ to make a clip for the first single from their eponymous debut album, we instantly knew upon hearing the track that we wanted to craft a dream-like video that harkened back to the days of melancholic 80s pop. Featuring a voyeuristic fishman, we built a detailed backstory to the mysterious events depicted in the clip and then set about accumulating the retro props and costumes we would require to evoke the dark atmospheric vibe.

As the colourist on the series, I was fortunate enough to be afforded the opportunity to test the looks on small shoots we filmed prior to principle photography on both seasons. The 1960s vibe required for the first season was actually coloured in Adobe After Effects employing numerous iterations of Colour Finesse augmented with a healthy dose of effects. The second season, a 1980s homage, was one of my first forays into DaVinci Resolve.

Initiative, Canon Cameras Australia Although I was involved in concepting the pitch, owing to a full slate of work at the time the Messrs clip was one of the few I was not “on set” for, so I did not credit myself as a full director at the time. That said, like with the&nbsp;Chasing a Dream documentary, I was left to my own devices in the edit and grade and painstakingly pieced together a narrative from a loose collection of abstract footage. The clip received a Vimeo Staff Pick, my second, and has had 100k views on the site.

However, when a former commercial collaborator of mine, Sam Wark, started Campfire, a creative offshoot of the AV Company he works for, he asked me to come onboard and edit/colour some branded content for them. This was the best of the bunch. Again faced with a girth of assets and an interview over an hour long, I started by first shaping the story utilising the interview audio. Once that stage had client approval I began adding the body, looking to draw on the best material aesthetically that also served the story we were telling.
