Man Child - A Straight8 Film By Chris Watson
Straight 8 - Super 8 Film Making Competition
A few months back I wrote the score for a short called 'Man Child' by Chris Watson. The project turned out to be quite unusual as I wasn't able to see any footage whilst writing! Scoring completely blind in effect, other than the storyboard and some critical timings.
'Man Child' was filmed for the Straight 8 competition and made it through to the London screening event, where it was shown at the Vue Piccadilly, London on June 12th.
The entire film was shot on a Canon 1014e with one super 8 cartridge of Kodak Vision3 200t super 8 film, using no post-production and only in-camera edits.
For the score, Chris wanted something like the Vince Guaraldi soundtrack from Charlie Brown. I love Charlie Brown, so it turned out to be a really enjoyable score to make.
I watched the film for the first time today and loved it! So I thought I'd blog it up.
Hope you enjoy it.
