I'm Guy, and well, where do I start. I've always been into the idea of making films. My dad used to make them when he was around 13 years of age and he taught me how to edit and physically cut and paste film strips for his antique projector. Times have only slightly changed since then and now I am a keen editor and I enjoy making short travel videos and action sequences such as the one below.
I've only recently thought more seriously about film. Having spent the last 3 years at a strict academic school, I had no way to learn, practice and put my self-taught skills into action. Then, last summer, I participated in a 2 week film course in Rugby, which caught my interest massively, whilst learning the basics of camera work, script writing, sound and Foley etc. Since then I've been set on the idea of working on set or as an editor professionally.
Generally most of my inspiration when creating films comes from my favourite director Wes Anderson, who created incredible films such as 'The Grand Budapest Hotel' and 'Life Aquatic'. His use of symmetry blended with incredible costume and set design make every single shot in his films look like a piece of artwork. My favourite film on the other hand is not by Anderson. It is instead the incredible Robert Zemeckis film, Back to the Future, but I'll go into that another time.
Over the next two years I hope to improve my skills, gain experience on set and make some great shorts! I will be blogging just about every single step of the way, so stick around!
