Shooting will probably take place in November 2008.</p> tag:www.philipgyford.com,2008-09-30:/id/4/ 2008-09-30T10:34:50+00:00 2008-09-30T10:34:50+00:00 Philip Gyford http://www.philipgyford.com/ <p>A while back I was the sole actor in a <em>very</em> short film — 49 seconds including the credits:</p> <p class="movie"><object width="400" height="321"> <param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /> <param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=1839012&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF&fullscreen=1" /> <embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=1839012&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="321"></embed></object></p> <p>(If the above video doesn’t work for you, you can <a href="http://vimeo.com/1839012/">see it on Vimeo here</a>.) Directed by Anastasia Afonina, Lea Becker and Sam Pilling, it was shot on 16mm. It was also the first time I’ve had to dub any voice on afterwards, and it was fun — getting things synced felt a bit like a game. It seemed to work out well, possibly beginner’s luck.</p> tag:www.philipgyford.com,2008-09-25:/id/3/ 2008-09-25T16:20:24+00:00 2008-09-25T16:20:24+00:00 Philip Gyford http://www.philipgyford.com/ <p><a href="http://www.philipgyford.com/_images/posts/2008/09/25/funky_kazoo.jpg" title="See a larger version"><img src="http://www.philipgyford.com/_images/posts/2008/09/25/funky_kazoo_thumb.jpg" class="illustration" width="200" height="91" alt="A still from 'Here Comes Funky Kazoo" /></a>A while back I played a tiny part in a short film called <cite>Here Comes Funky Kazoo</cite> which you can now <a href="http://www.scarytree.com/films_funky.asp">watch online</a>. Yes, it’s a bit “blink and you’ll miss me” but this <em>is</em> only the second post on this site. The film has already won Best Short Film Award at the <a href="http://www.flywayfilmfestival.org/">Flyaway Film Festival</a> in Wisconsin. I like to think it was the toilet scene that tipped the judges’ favour.</p>
