Urbex

Urbex is a short film created to experiment with minimal crewing for film production. The entire crew consisted of 1 make up artist, 1 actress, 1 camera assistant for a single day and myself as all other roles in pre-production, production and post production.

The initial challenge was to create a suitable narrative to work for the minimal crew while maintaining a certain quality level in production. The second challenge was managing the equipment and techniques used to shoot the film. Then the challenge of managing a full post production process as an individual. The final challenge was dealing with the lack of additional opinions through much of this process. Film is usually a collaboration where input from various skills enhances the final product.

This led to two versions of the film, the longer is presented here, the final version is cut based on advice from a 'critical friend' who was consulted late in the process.
