Here in all of its glorious 11 minutes and 46 seconds is Luke White’s short ‘Tide’
A beautiful short made at LCC last year. Here’s a short description taken from Luke’s website blackpaint.co.uk
“A boy and his father live a harsh existence against a desolate backdrop. Whilst the father is stranded, the boy’s physique allows him to pass through a small tunnel leading to a place very different from their own. He brings back footage to satisfy his fathers desire to re-live memories of when he too could make this journey. Tide is the story of a father’s obsession that will ultimately lose him the respect of his son, and in turn his companionship.”

I (Chris Box) was lucky enough to be involved, creating the sound design for this, recording foley, ADR and mixing it at Borough Studios here in London. Since completion it has gone on to be screened at both the BFI and London Shorts Festival (and many more).
Hope I’ve included everyone in this list.

I can’t wait to play around and create some serious retro si-fi stuff.

We are now in the midst of research and development for an interesting new project.
This project is, and about Northern Soul, following the scene through the eyes of 2 young DJs. My first and only concern with this project was that it could have taken the typical cop out approach of many period and scene based films, that it would have the usual rom-com-rock-biopic-struggle to overcome Hollywood narratives. My worries were quickly quelled and was assured that this is a film about the scene and not a film that happens to be there.
For anyone unfamiliar with the scene here is a great documentary on the Wigan Casino
There is already a great deal of work been put into this trailor, it has some good names linked with it and an abundance of dancers trained by the one and only ‘Keb Darge’.
Without giving to much info the trailor will consist of a field report from a northern soul club (Wigan Casino was mentioned but not sure wether or not it will be clear in the trailor) and studio interview with a young DJ and dancer. In the studio an old time BBC presenter interviews these guys and then a feature of the music and dancers. However the TV show attempts to turn their passion into a novelty act and a fight between the DJ and the presenter ends in a headbut and a storm out.
I have began developing a strong idea about how to go about recording and designing the soundtrack.
The real focus on this from a sound perspective is to try and develop and strong sense of authenticity, I really want the sound to feel as close to how it would have been done at the time.
With the research so far I have formed an approach which will take us through production and post production
Production: we will record digitally, pref onto a Sound Devices unit, so we have the option to take create a more conventional soundtrack if needed. For the field report the 4 track will include a handheld interview mic (i’m trying to find a used Electro-Voice 635) used by the reporter. On a second track we will boom mic with an omnidirectional mic.
The decision to go with an omnidirectional mic is that A) we are interviewing a que scene and would like to get some mumbling and shouting from the que without dubbing, B) the scene will be one shot and one take so background sound continuity is not so much an issue.
In the studio a similar method will be used with the interviewer having a handheld mic, the boom will become usefull to capture the chaos of the fight in the studio. I want to capture the chaos with the boom by drifting on and off mic on the characters. tracks 3 and 4 will include playback of the music.
We will also get some wildtracks of the crew mumbling and shouting to add in over the fighting.
Post Production: By this stage we will hopefully have plenty to work with. To really get a sense of the era I plan to run the sound through a tape unit and then redigitse. My intial thoughts were to hire a Nagra 4:2 and play with gain and speeds until I have what I want. However from my research I have also found that the Ampex 601 was often used and videotape in the studio. I will try to do some tests before we begin production.
I will continue to add material into the comments section, and I would be extremely gratefull for any further contributions that would come in handy
