Hey there fellow Frameworks friends!
as many of you know, I've been working on a long form (2 hour long)
experimental documentary film about the Radio Canada International shortwave
site... been working on it for the past 7 years.
7 years!
Shot on 35mm. Much of the sound in the sound track was recorded by placing
home-made contact mics on the radio towers themselves.
The site was torn down after I started filming, so I included that in the film
too. There are stories in the first hour and a half, and the last half hour,
no one speaks while you watch the demolition happen to the sound of the contact
microphone recordings of the towers.
Anyhow... I'm almost done! The only thing that remains is translation and
subtitles. I originally didn't want to subtitle it... but in the end, decided
to go that route.
Scheduled to finish and export to DCP at the end of May! (just a few weeks
away!)
I launched a super short 7 day crowd funding blitz to cover the cost of
translation and revision for the subtitles.
(2 hour film... 10,500 words to translate from English to French... not
including the French to English that I'm translating myself)
So that's a big job.
If any of you feel so inclined to either contribute to the cost of translation
for subtitles, or if you just want to check out the latest preview video (more
narrative segments that give examples of the types of stories that will be
translated)... just follow this link:
