Wassup ya’ll! City Cole Productions coming at you live from KQ94: The Nest, home to all the best in trip-hop gruuunge. *bird call sound effect*
Today we’re talking about the process of shooting “in a mood - the movie.” Before meeting Vanessa, I was a total film making noob. As I’m sure you all know by now, I’m shy. So being in front of the camera wasn’t exactly something I thought I would be interested in doing.. but with Vanessa’s direction/expertise it made the process a hell of a lot of fun. When I say a lot goes into making music videos and films… A LOT goes into it. Tons of pre-planning, set piece finding, outfit buying, learning new and old technology, etc etc. I had to learn a lot of new skills in a relatively short amount of time. Thankfully I’ve got ears made for listening and I can take direction pretty well.
I wanted to make this film release even more special and try my hand at creating a full original soundtrack for it. I’ve always wanted to make music for movies and I’ve helped out with OSTs before but I’ve never made a full one from scratch. It took me about 2 months but it was worth all the time and effort. I think it really helped bring our initial idea to a whole new level. AND we got a new single out of it (made specifically for the film) which will be coming out on the 19th of this month.
We really hope you love this movie as much as we do.
City Cole, out.
