Life cycle

When a postman defers from his usual well beaten postal route, he discovers a path that will lead him to his true calling in life.


This film was made entirely with the help from friends, favours, and money from my pocket.

Big thanks go out to everyone who helped make this film possible.


Directors statment:
I am a professional independent cinematographer and film maker whose main interest lies with in concept driven audio visual film making. (Think; car adverts and clever music videos, short films, animations and your on my wave length)
I love to incorporate fresh ideas into my film making techniques and experiment with ideas to tell stories in an interesting and innovative way.
When Im not planning or making my own films, I work as freelance director / specialist camera op and grip, I have quite a bit of my own kit, and can help other independent film makers raise the look and production values of their films, with out breaking the budget.
Im always interested in collaborations with other talented people. So if you like my stuff. Go on my website and get in contact.

Im impressed at the diversity of your filming technique. Well thought out, very original and creative. Music works really well.

I like the details and the graphics used at the credits stage.

Trying to get a few bits together to start making film, may i ask how you achieved the shot when the rider is on a downhill bike from behind, is it some sort of backpack mount?

awesome.

Hi Harry

Yes it was a special rig I made so I could attach a camera to the rider. There are more shots using the same rig in the film, that was probably the most dramatic one though.

Thanks

Really nice looking film - using DOF adapter?

Wasn't sure the conclusion was as satisfying as it could be, but really slick film mate.

[tommansfield]

no DOF adapter was used, we just shot wide open as much as possible.
