WEST COAST FILM PROJECT

Post by Xplorer » Tue Apr 09, 2024 5:42 pm

Hello everyone !!! It's been a while .........

As it all RE started here on the forum some years back, and with the permission of George, i'd like to present you an independant film project, documentary/road movie, arround Dave Weyer, Hendrix ( if we're allowed to ), the birth of rock'n Roll and loudness .. the physical dimension of the sound.

There's a lot more than electronic. The sound we were debating and experimenting here until Dave shimed in and explained us everything, doesn't come from nowhere, and it'd be really interesting to transmit this story, using this film medium.

Quite an adventure by itself. And i'd need your help please, as i'd need to shoot in May an important part of the film which started a bit in Slovenia already, last year.

We've discussed all this a lot together with Dave and friends, defined what was important historicaly, to be translated.
If we do it right, and if we manage to find safe ways to diffuse the film later on, you might like it all ....

It's not meant to be a hollywood perfection, rather something alive, together with talented musicians, experiments, places in the world. And talking about things which are still alive.

Your help would mean a lot, and i'd like to invite you to this Gofundme page, with a rough synopsis.
As a photographer, i'd like to make it beautiful while i'm at it, and it's in Cinemascope, but the story is what matters, yet i'd still need to get the camera setup i'm after and a few plane tickets.
Of course, everyone who's willing to participate will be mentioned in the film's closing credits.

Thank you George and everyone !

I just donated 50 Euro, also shared on my X "formerly known as Twitter. Hopefully you will have some coverage of the Seattle area in your film, if so I hope you will be in contact with me as well as the Hendrix Family :jimi: :jimi: :jimi:

Thank you David !!!!! Thank you so much ! :) i sincerely appreciate, help much needed.
I've been in Seattle twice, seing old friends there. Yes if it's possible and justified in the film that would be great.
We know each other already you and i, maybe you remember ;)
The film may be related to Jimi but not directly, it's about Dave. And i'll try to not interfere with the Hendrix's family's rights, i don't want troubles. It's really complicate to do a film related to such music god ... So i'm trying to be cautious and stay away as i can. But there's a very important story to be said about the birth of this sound, which isn't just an electronic recipe .......... Far more than that. It's going back to WWII. It's a beautiful, tragic, dreamy story.

I'm working on writting the underlying story, enabling the 50 - 80 pages of vignettes ( so far ) of stories and memories depicted by Dave to be said, sitting in a film medium.

And i endly got my cinema Camera !! It'll be in cinemascope. Much much much to do ........

Thank you,
Adrien
