The Farm

Over six intense weeks, The Farm boys and girls slapped our low-budget documentary around until it came out looking like a Hollywood blockbuster. They un-wobbled wobbly shots, recorded and mixed Pete's final voiceover, gave humans human-coloured skin, presided over more than 25 voiceover artists (some providing only one line, but still needing tea and chitchat), placed Taiyo's computer interface on top of Pete, inputted ten squillion archive shots (all of different formats), spent two whole weeks adding sound effects (has any film ever needed sci-fi explosions, kiddie animation effects, drama reverb, atmospheres from India, Nigeria, UK & America, as well as hurricanes, oil rigs and eight different styles of music before?), brushed Lizzie out of quite a few shots and typed out more than 500 credits (crowd-funding bites back). All of which they did with impeccable good humour and superior chocolate biscuits. For almost no money. If you are a filmmaker in London you would be insane to do your post-production anywhere else.

Franny's dad nipped into the studio on the last day before the crew screening and whipped out a pretty hilarious quick report:
