Dalek Storm Filming report - Part Two

....... Steve worked Storm really well and knew exactly what type of shots and angles would work well.

Filming then moved onto a classic white corridor scene which could have come straight out of 70's Tom Baker Doctor Who with Alan showing off his mastery of controlling Storm and it's near perfect Dalek movements.

Lighting was always going to be a problem in some of the darker areas of the location however we used it to our advantage by using some of the lighting effects on Storm to stand out in the darkness..... this made some great eerie shots which are going to work well. Unfortunately the lack of light led to Storm having a little collision which we caught on camera and will no doubt feature as an Easter Egg on the DVD release.

Time was moving on at this point so we decided to move outside to take advantage of the light. We got some great footage here as well as the lighting conditions were near perfect.

So, as of today we're still at the very early stages of this project, with post production, sound design and final edits to complete. But, so far so good and as a special treat here is a very early teaser trailer for what is to come. Please bear in mind that it is in a very raw state and I will be re writing my music as I'm not 100% happy with it yet......... Hope you enjoy and let us know what you think......... Nick.

Dalek Storm Filming report - Part One

On Saturday 30th January 2010 filming began for a new short film featuring the legendary Dalek Storm.

It had been discussed and decided that the only way to raise the profile of Storm would be to have some high quality footage and pictures to show the rest of the world (and the BBC) that Storm should be taken seriously.

To this end Alan Clark (Storm's creator), Steve Dutton ( professional photographer and cameraman), Alan's partner, Raymond Hyde (Dalek builder) and myself all met up at Magna in Sheffield which had been booked by Ray as the location for the shoot.

Steve & I drove down together and arrived at about 10:20am where we met Alan and co in the car park still assembling Storm. It was cold, very cold so Steve & I decided to grab a hot drink and look at possible area's within Magna which would be good to film in.

20 minutes later we all convened in the entrance and were told that Storm was too big to fit in any of the lifts and therefore the only way we could film on the upper levels would be to take Storm apart and then re assemble - a process totaling 1 hour. Therefore we decided to attempt to get all the footage shot downstairs and outside the building.

The first set of shots were taken against a brightly lit background with Storm performing various maneuvers and we made sure that we had enough to create some special effect which would be added later in post production.

Storm, the hardest of all Daleks is to appear in a short promotional video featuring some original music specifically written for Storm.
