V48Hr Film Fest 2013: Location Sound & Foley for team Club Palermo

Club Palermo contacted me this year and asked if I'd assist in the Sound Dept for their short film.
They got 'Immobilized' as a theme and spent friday night scripting a Hitchcock type thriller of a woman trapped inside a house. We met up on Saturday and headed out to Dr John's beautiful old style home on the Shore, which provided the perfect backdrop for the film.
I spent the day on location sound, capturing what I could in the confines of the house and also managing to sample odds and ends, such as creaky old rocking chairs, doors and ladders for use later on.
Shooting wrapped around midnight and after a few hours sleep, I headed into the studios to assist Marcel in soundscaping and the Foley work. We spent the day tailoring the sound as the other half the team started the B/W processing on the footage. The end result was pretty cool given the time restraints!!
It was a great project to be involved with and a huge thanks to Marcel for the invitation, and to Dr John and Bess for their awesome hospitality and the use of their amazing home.
