DP on The Silver Goat

I just shot a feature film, The Silver Goat, directed by Aaron Brookner. It's the first time I've worked as a DP on a full scale feature film.  For someone used to doing most things alone the experience of being part of a crew was fantastic .  I shot the whole thing handheld on my 5D Mark II in black and white using its ability to work in low light where possible, aiming for a strange hyper-natural noire style.  This seemed to fit the bleakness of the script; a dark psychological drama.  Watch the trailer here. 

We shot the entire feature in 10 intense shooting days which is pretty unheard of, all in locations around London.  I had access to some great lights thanks to Ben Liddell.  Thanks also to Anne Haaning who stepped in to shoot some of the steadycam scenes and pull focus.  Katy Zwetsloot-Hyatt kept things sane as cheerful camera assistant.

The film is being edited in Buenos Aires and will be ready for festival release some time in spring if all goes well.
