TESTIMONIALS

“

You will be pleased to hear that it (the consultation) went well and that the film was very well received. I think we had about 7 to 8 separate “screenings” with between 3 and 10 people at each screening. Everyone who watched it enjoyed it and felt that it did Bude justice. The only “negative” comment was a complaint that it hadn’t been shown on the BBC! It worked very well as a lead-in to the discussions and helped those who weren’t familiar with all the local issues begin to think about them. Overall the project went well and thank you for your input. I hope that the opportunity arises for us to work on something again in the future.

We commissioned a series of video clips focusing on what the general public felt about inclusion and how they were included in society. This was a difficult brief as the term inclusion is complicated. Matthew was able to fully grasp our objectives for the video clips and carried out the filming expertly. The final clips were ready to use well within the agreed timescales and we have used them at workshops across Cornwall where they have ignited discussion and been of greater use than we could have anticipated.

Jessica Quinones: a case study

Flautist Jessica Quinones contracted Distilled Films to capture the atmosphere of her flute coaching. We discussed the film’s concept in a preproduction meeting which included cakes, tea and Mexican cuisine. We agreed with Jessica that we would spend a day filming with her. The first half was spent at her place of work capturing interaction with a student. We wanted to show a relaxed lesson in real life as well as her conducting a session over Skype. We used a Blackmagic Cinema Camera to capture the shots. We then headed out to the cliffs at St Agnes for sunset where we waited patiently in the chill breeze for the right moment to see Jessica playing her flute above the sparkling waters off the Cornish coast, just as the sun was dipping down. Matthew spent a week on the final edit. Within this time, a provisional edit was sent back to Jessica for her to approve.
