JULY 2020 - 'Don't be like Barry' film series
Well I got a new lens for my camera, an Anamorphic one, Sirui 50mm. Basically wide screen cinema type lens, the cheapest one ever made and it is great. So looking for some test projects, I decided that I should try and help educate the litterers and dirty campers that have emerged since lockdown. Obviously I have been making some official films on responsible travel, but I wanted a bit more edge to it and possible comedy. I think the idea stemmed from some Aussie or kiwi hard hitting adverts I’d seen in the past.
Anyway I wrote a few scripts and then tried to find a person willing to be Barry which took a bit of thought. Scott from the Pine Marten Bar at loch Morlich was keen though after several nights of picking up litter from the beach. 9 bags his first night!
Anyway here are the first two and 3 more to follow:) Hopefully it helps a little, worth trying something anyway. As of today the first one has 92K views on facebook and the 2nd one has 54K. A few less on youtube which is always the way:)
