An original Urban/Fantasy/Thriller webisode, Shot with a micro crew on a small budget. The series currently has over 2,800 hits on Youtube.
The webisode is a fascinating, emerging format that can draw in substantial audience numbers. Freedom from the commissioning process is very appealing to filmmakers, production values on www sites such as Vimeo and Youtube are increasingly high and the number of hits that a programme can achieve is comparable to some broadcast figures. Laura’s research is focused around the around the methodology and working practices within the micro crew and self-shooting director/producer model of filmmaking. Themes emerged not just around the impact of advancement of technology in recent years (HD and SFX) but also around the impact of collaboration within small crews, who can now achieve high quality looking results in creative and complex pieces of work.
Laura undertook the 12-hour night shift as the sound-mixing engineer for the live Musicathon, research here was focused around the technical and acoustic quality of output during a live ‘outside broadcast’ public event.
Since this event, ELFM have raised all the money they need to go ahead with the development of chapELFM: the first-ever dedicated arts venue in East Leeds.
