Vimeo

Hi everyone,
I haven't posted for a while but I've been super busy with my course. To keep an eye on what I've been doing I have created a Vimeo account which you can find here: https://vimeo.com/kimberleymbates. I will be posting videos that I think are worth showing people and hopefully you'll be able to see a progress with my work.

This is the first 'video' I put up on Vimeo. It's actually just audio as the task brief was to tell a story through sound: https://vimeo.com/52241911

Vans Off The Wall Tour - October 17, 2012

I went to the Vans Off The Wall Tour last night at the O2 Academy in Sheperd's Bush Empire in London. The line up was Marmazots, Your Demise, We Are The In Crowd, and Young Guns. IF you haven't heard of any of these bands then stop reading right now and check them out. I took my small Canon digital camera and took some photos. Here are some of the better ones.

Film Assignment

Today Aiden and I went on a walk around Cambridge trying to find the locations we wanted to use for our film assignment for the Screen and Drama module of the course.

For the film assignment we are to make a short film, 3 to 5 minutes long, with the brief:
'A boy is attracted to a girl. It appears the girl gives him a sign. The boy chases the girl. The final twist.'

The next set of instructions we were given read:

'Try to enrich the story as much as you can; you can change the circumstances, gender of the characters, place the action of the film in different surroundings, make it a period piece, science fiction, a farce, comedy, tragedy, whatever.'

We've come up with a story line and found our locations so all we need now is to pitch the film and hopefully get the go ahead to film this. 

Here are some of the photos from today; with a few fun ones:

Art in Cambridge

I've taken a few trips to Asda down the road from where I'm staying. I've walked past this building each time ; the art on the walls have captivated me. This art can be found on Newmarket Road in Cambridge.

Here are some photos I took.









These last two are my favourites I think.

YR Production Company

So guys, I've been at university for 3 weeks now. Yesterday, I was made co-owner of YR Production Company. This film production company was founded and is owned by Aiden Astle. The company was founded on November 10, 2011 and is on the up from this year onwards. We have some very exciting projects in store for the next year. Our first major project will be pitched within the next two weeks to the Film and Arts Society of Anglia Ruskin University. Hopefully upon their approval we shall start production and see our aims, goals and of course the final product.

We are looking to work with people of all ages, students who are just coming out of university and need work, experience film makers who want to further the experience and knowledge of up-coming film makers.

So please have a look on our various pages and watch out because we will be making it big!
