We shot this National Trust trailer for a competition entry.
It was shot on and around National trust properties in North Devon, and the surfers are Neil Randall and Simon Skelton.
The original sound track was created for this trailer by Gordon Dryburgh thanks Gordon!
We worked from 5 in the morning to 10 at night, it was an intense day! thanks so much to all the surfers who took time out and days off of work to be there and to Mat, Jack, Rob, Stu, Gordon, Joel and Steve our camera men and production team who worked so hard on the day. Thanks also to Parkins estates and Woolacombe Parish Council for their support.”
Best described as a ‘scenic surf movie’ the film is a portrait of Woolacombe bay on that day, the surfing, beach life and surrounding scenery.
This promo soundtrack and the final score is the work of Peter Bruntnell who lives up the road. “One of England’s best kept musical secrets”. says Rolling Stone! How excited are we to be working with him and his friends! The music will be recorded in one day and we will be there to film it.
Post production is under way and the DVD will be available spring 2010
For a full credits and production stills visit: the ONEDAY micro site
Dig is the proprietor of one of the last real surf shops, give him a visit to see what I mean. Oh yer and he is also bit of an action man come adrenalin junkie and has taken me up in his helicopter check out the video from this trip.
Aha! That loverly Welshman who encouraged me so much at the start. Chris built the first two camera boards that I used in the Brighton Project. They are still going – I’ve resprayed them for ONEDAY – thanks Chris!
My mate and co driver on missions, Steve has helped me with a lot of the onboard filming designing and building kit in his garage. The pic is from the 1975 the only thing that’s changed is the technical specs of his leash. Oh, and the tash has turned into a goatie!
