<br />
Right now the UK and most of the world is in lockdown due to COVID-19, so I decided to do the only thing I could to pass the time... make a film with the things at my disposal. So here's a short horror called Dark Mode made using my phone, a reading light, and starring my wonderful girlfriend. Enjoy!!<div><br /></div>

I hope you ate yourself silly over the holidays.<div>My first post of 2017 is about a music video I recently finished for extreme metal band, The Senseless.<br />
<br />
I've been playing around in After Effects for ages now, wanting to increase my skills and explore what's possible.</div><div>I particularly wanted to explore Element 3D, a plugin for creating VFX that involve 3D objects, particle animating and rendering.<br />
<br />
To cut a long story short, after watching hours and hours of tutorials I finally managed to grasp the basics of the software and started experimenting. You can see some examples of stuff I created on my Instagram, like this <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BP5pjjUh69k/" target="_blank">weird organic blob thing</a>, or this <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BP8qRH4hldD/" target="_blank">weird bacteria virus thing</a>, and another <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BP-tXU1hzSp/" target="_blank">weird organic sea creature thing</a>.<br />
<br />
Sam from The Senseless saw these and asked me to create a music video for him. I've known Sam for about ten years having previously made a video for him.<div>Other than suggesting something with "skulls and stuff" he gave me complete free rein to do whatever I want.<br />
<br />
So here's the video, the results of my first proper exploring of Element 3D. I hope you enjoy, and play it loud.<br /><div><br /></div>

I desperately wanted a telephoto shot of the setting sun, specifically the sun disappearing below the horizon. I tried various locations all around South London but was constantly foiled by weather, on one occasion the only cloud in the sky was exactly in front of the sun. Sod's Law! Also, it sounds stupid, but I really underestimated just how bright the sun is even when it's at its least powerful and beginning to fade. Stopping down my lens to f/32 was nowhere near enough so I bought some ND filters for my Cokin filter holder. Finally after two months of attempts the weather was perfect and I had the correct equipment for the job. It only lasts a few seconds in the film but the effort was totally worth it. Big thanks to Helen Miles for all her help. For any techies it was shot on Blackmagic Pocket in RAW with a Tokina 60-300mm at f/22 and ND16.<br />

<br />
I'm now in the very final stages of post production on my latest short film, Unto Death. Low/no budget filmmaking is tough and takes time but I'm really happy with how the film is looking and sounding. I'll soon be doing the colour grade with a talented colourist, and <a href="https://twitter.com/lensound" target="_blank">Helen Miles</a> is working on the sound design as well as the score, which is being created in a pretty unique way. I'll probably do a separate post on that at some point.<br />
<br />
In the meantime I made another poster. I wanted to make something that was more modern looking than the retro <a href="http://www.jamhoop.com/2016/04/unto-death-teaser-poster.html">teaser poster</a> I made. Check it out below.<br />
<br />
Here's some other tasty stuff relating to the film. <a href="http://www.jamhoop.com/2016/03/unto-death-teaser-trailer.html">Trailer 1</a> - <a href="http://www.jamhoop.com/2016/07/unto-death-trailer-2.html">Trailer 2</a> - <a href="http://www.jamhoop.com/2016/07/unto-death-lobby-cards.html">Lobby Cards</a><br />

Being an eighties child it ticked all the right boxes for me. I particularly loved the opening titles, so being a massive narcissist I decided to recreate them for myself. I like to do stuff like this to further my knowledge of After Effects as it's always good to have another filmmaking skill I can use. For any font junkies the font is Benguiat. Enjoy!<br />

With that in mind here's a trailer I edited for a film based on an alternative reality America, one that, scarily, doesn't seem too far-fetched. I didn't have to do much editing to make Trump say these things.<br />
I present, The Purge: Trumpocalypse.<br />

It's going well and coming together a treat, but in the meantime I made some lobby cards. I've always been a fan of lobby cards as unlike a poster they show you actual images from the film instead of posed for publicity shots. I made a whole bunch of them (not sure what the collective noun is for lobby cards) and you can see a select few below. Hope you enjoy the retro vibes.<br />

This one is a behind the scenes look at how much effort goes into creating a piece of jewellery, from setting up the various pieces on a computer, to the laser cutting and then assembling. Sarah and Matt at Sugar & Vice put loads of effort into ensuring each piece of jewellery is great quality.

Below is the teaser poster for my latest short film, Unto Death. The photograph was taken by <a href="http://bursteardrum-unitstillsphotography.format.com/" target="_blank">Samuel Dore</a> on something you might remember called 35mm film. If you have a spare 32 seconds can also <a href="http://www.jamhoop.com/2016/03/unto-death-teaser-trailer.html">watch the trailer</a>.<br />
Have a great weekend!<br />

I'm pleased to announce the first trailer for my latest short film, Unto Death. Big thanks to my amazing cast and crew, Tim Blackwell, Nathan Dean Williams, Gabriella Montrose, Helen Miles, Frances Darvell White, Leon Ancliffe and Samuel Dore.<br />
<br />
For any camera/tech people, I shot on the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera. The footage in the trailer was shot with a Angenieux 12-120mm, which was made in the early 60s and has the best lens flare.<br />
<br />
Check out the trailer below, I hope you enjoy it. (WARNING - Contains flashing images).<br />

Boogie Nights and Magnolia are two of my favourite films, and he made the only film starring Adam Sandler I can bear to watch. The below video essays, by Cameron Beyl, are part of a wonderful collection of videos called <a href="https://vimeo.com/channels/directorsseries" target="_blank">The Director Series</a>, which explore the work and careers of contemporary and classic film directors. The PTA videos cover his early work, including The Dirk Diggler Story, through to the virtuoso Magnolia. I highly recommend watching them.<br />
<br />
On the same topic, check out this oral history of Boogie Nights on Grantland called <a href="http://grantland.com/features/boogie-nights/" target="_blank">Livin' Thing</a>. It's a fascinating read about a wonderful film from everyone involved in making it. "Come on, you puppies!"<br />

Contrary to what you might think it was massive amounts of fun, we could all learn a thing or two from 90 year olds, they had more energy than me.<br />
<br />
One of the highlights of the shoot was driving through Cheddar Gorge at 1am, and before you ask, yes it was amazingly creepy. Check out all the lovely residents below.<br />

Over five days I filmed at Tower of London, Kensington Palace, Hampton Court Palace, Westminster Abbey and Pembroke Castle. It was quite an experience to be the only people at these amazing locations that are steeped in so much history.<br />

<br />
I particularly enjoyed being at Hampton Court Palace as it has so many different areas to explore. Pembroke Castle was also incredible as it's over 900 years old and I got to direct my first aerial drone shoot there.<br />
