DOG is a brutal love story in the vein of Oldboy and Leon featuring heavy fight sequences and difficult subject matter. Written and Directed by Robin Schmidt (Afterdeath www.imdb.com/title/tt2710826/) it stars Simon Wan and Sophia Del Pizzo. The project is mostly funded by MTA Records as a double music video project for their artist Dream McLean. So footage from the film will be repurposed into music videos for two tracks.
I’m currently entering the difficult final stages of post on my mammoth martial arts short, DOG and am looking for a Sound Designer to help me finish it off. The film has been fairly extensively temped and the fight sounds have for the most part all been done but it really needs a talented ear to bring it all together as the sound plays a fairly important part.
I’m looking for someone who can start pretty soon as I’m starting to get hassled for final copies by festivals and we’re having to scrabble to get everything together in time.
There are a couple of teaser trailers that give you an idea of the two shades of the film
BRUTAL: vimeo.com/79989738
TENDER: vimeo.com/80000963
The project has become a ‘proof of concept’ for a longer feature length version of the story so I’m keen for it to be as good as possible as it’s a proper sales tool now.
Now the downer: it’s 39 mins long. Ouch. If that doesn’t deter you then at least it’s out in the open!
If you’re interested I can send you a link to the locked edit on Vimeo.
Thanks,
Robin.
