Road trip

The production is moving along nicely.  A 1500 km road trip from Melbourne to Binalong NSW was made to visit the music composer, Bruce Smeaton.  The intent of the music for the film was discussed, with options for the up coming recording in Melbourne planned.

Historic Binalong, NSW - once home to Banjo Patterson.  After hundreds of holdups, bush ranger John Gilbert was shot here in 1865.

We always visit this sign when going through Gundagai, NSW.

Lots happening....

It has been a bit quiet on this blog for the last week or so.  This is because a lot of things are happening to do with secret bits of the film, revealed only to the lucky audience who watch it.

Some information is allowed out though....

In some exciting news, Bruce Smeaton http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0006295/ is composing the music for the film.  If you are interested there is a recording of some of his work (and an interview with him) on ABC Classic FM tonight around 8pm.  This was part of a program featuring a number of Australian composers called "The Glass Soldier".


Other news...

There is still shooting going on, with a plan to wrap it all up this week.

The lanes we filmed most of the animation in have been totally blacked out and new artwork is appearing all over them, amazing how quickly things change.

Kelly came in with me last night and we filmed the title of the film appearing over a wall. 




These walls being painted black was a story aired on Australian national news.
