"The Bath"

Over the course of two weekends I worked on a short film called "the Bath." The Bath was written by Michael Woodman, produced by BRAG productions, directed by Ian Baigent and Jack Burnford and shot by Rory Moles  http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1599284/

I was sparking on this production with gaffer Ian Stowe, who I first met on Ailema a few weeks ago. I have since also worked with Ian on Vincent.

"The Bath" is a rather unusual story about a couples relationship deteriorating after the boy friend recovers from breast cancer. Despite having just had cancer the male character continues his rather unhealthy drinking and smoking habits. The female character realises that it is only her nurturing him through cancer that has kept them together, and finds the best way to escape her unpleasant partner is by having a bath. Although some unusual things happen in the bath please do not think that this is a
"Hot Tub Time Machine" kind of bath, it is just a bath.

The short was shot on the canon 5D Mk2, the bigger brother of the 550D I mentioned in my last blog. Again this DSLR camera really came into its own, being so small it meant that we could rig it in some crazy positions to acquire some truly fantastic shots. I was going to post a screen shot here of an example of the crazy shots, but they appear to have disappeared from the facebook group so I cant, sorry about that. But here is a link to the said group, so please do have a look and follow the progress of the film. "The Bath" Group

The film will hopefully see a festival release later on this summer, I'll leave you now with a short making of video made by the writer Mike Woodman.
