Eat Sand, A Student Short Film.

The Outback Filmmaking Bootcamp held annually in Winton QLD is an intensive
program for Griffith Film and Queensland Conservatorium students to team together and create a short film from scratch over one and half weeks in the outback setting of Winton. At the end of the bootcamp, the students’ film works were premiered on the last night of Winton’s Vision Splendid Film Festival. After being assigned to be part of the crew who will create the mockumentary style short film, Eat Sand, my work entailed:
• composing for the film in post-production, using Sibelius and Cakewalk.
• sound recording on set during shooting
• prop and set design in pre-production
Upon screening, this film received the Audience Choice Award as well as a Very Highly Commended mention from the judges. In addition, the film was also a recipient of Best Cinematography from Australia Youth Film Festival. The experience was an intensive learning but thrilling adventure!
