For my father’s 70th birthday present, I decided to make a short film. This is ‘the land’, which my parents have been looking after for the last 10+ years. They named it ‘Skyfull of Stars’ after the Coldplay song, which made the choice of music an easy one. I made it as a memory to be rewatched in the future, a record of his connection to the land.
This was filmed over one day with my GH6, RS2 gimbal and 12-60 Lumix G lens. The drone shots were with the DJI Mini Pro 3. Edited with Premiere.
The learning from this project was that having some idea of narrative is essential for every type of shoot, and it’s harder to add meaning in the edit if it’s not considered pre-production.
