Panache Collects Gigh's Ashes extended

To create a time delay from when Panache leaves Uncle Bulo's Abode and returns to the site of Gigh's ashes I returned to Kangaroo Bluff Battery and filmed some additional footage with my camcorder.

I'm still missing the footage shot of Panache entering the frame so because of that the dissolve from swamp to wall is a little rushed. As soon as I get footage I'll make the dissolve longer.

I've turned day into night and added a moon to justify the light source. Not sure if the moon looks right though.



The Trollins Encounter location was originally a moat which extended the entire circumference of the battery. Decades after the battey was abandoned a young boy drowned in the moat and consequentially most of it was filled, however two pockets of moat remain at either end of the area we were filming.

Even though the moat is ripe with tadpoles the sound of the frogs croaking actually originates from a ditch over my back fence. After hearing the little buggers every night I really wanted to use their croaking and this seems like the perfect opportunity to do so.

Visual Effect - Work In Progress - Panache Leaves Uncle Bulo's Abode

I've been experimenting with a new visual effect shot for when Panache leaves Uncle Bulo's abode.

Like most visual effect shots the first version needs a lot of work but here is the first version. The static image of the bush on the left badly needs replacing with live video and I don't like the pan/zoom which follows Panache.

Variation #1




The reason I've added the pan and zoom is to cover a continuity problem. In the previous shot Uncle Bulo begins opening the door to usher Panache outside but unfortunately due to rain we couldn't get a shot from the exterior of him standing at the door as she leaves. We had to come back the next day and film exteriors but we didn't have John so we only filmed was Bec leaving.

Some score has been added

I've been editing the score from some old movies, including Day of the Triffids, House on Haunted Hill and Metropolis.


So here is the soundtrack! Just sound, no visuals.
