À Procura do Cabeçudo - Part 1

Surreal tragic-comedy, filmed over a few nights of mad-creative times (if I remember correctly in 1996), with my 2 best friends acting and with me behind the camera. This came about after a boring night, I was a gig promoter at the time and went out (with Paulo and Jorge) to check out this band in their practise room, which was an old abattoir, council owned. The band turned out ti be quire boring, so we started looking around in order to amuse ourselves, until we found an old box filled with awesome photographs. We found one with a football scene from the 60's and on it there was a man with a huge head! One thing lead to another and there was a camera about. Later that night we devised this film and filmed the intro to the sound of Naked City. In the next nights all that we did was filming this "masterpiece" and we had a lot of fun doing it. Unfortunately the camera we used was borrowed and disappeared before we managed to get our film off it. I left Portugal the following year and for years I kept asking about this tape! Until one day I did manage to get the tape back, so I took it with me to Sheffield. My good friend Anthony was the catalyst for this project to finally see the light. He had a video editing studio, a Pinnacle Video card and Premiere. Anthony shared his knowledge and showed me how to use Premiere. The original intro was destroyed so we had to edit what was left into some sort of a film that followed our original ideas. I added music that I wrote in Sheffield years after the filming was done and this is the end result. The idea of adding English subtitles was discussed, but I never got round to doing it. I am still not sure if it would be funny in English, but it is funny (for some) in Portuguese. Enjoy and comment away.
