To Shoot A Rurf is now available to watch on Directors Notes, the independent filmmaking website. You can also listen to an interview with co-director Shane Sheils discussing the making of the film with Marvin Belle.
Directors Notes is a great website dedicated to the work of independent filmmakers.
Each week a director discusses the making of their particular film which is then put on the site as a podcast.
All round nice guy Marvin Belle, who runs the site, is a writer who ran the Directors Notes section of Showreel Magazine and edited the UK Filmmakers Bulletin for Shooting People.
Directors Notes is a great idea and Dwarfed Films were only too happy to discuss the making of To Shoot A Rurf.
Here's a brief synopsis to give you a flavour for the film:
“To Shoot a Rurf” is a surreal 3D computer animated short produced by Dwarfed Films. This atmospheric dark-comedy tells the tale of a drunken man’s attempts to sober up after bingeing on mind-altering drink ‘rurf’. To achieve this he must literally go inside his own head and seek the source of his headaches! The film is written and directed by Shane Sheils and Paula Sheils."
And here is Marvin Belle's introduction to the interview:
And here is Marvin Belle's introduction to the interview:
"Today I’m joined by director Shane Sheils, who with his regular co-director and all round collaborative partner Paula Sheils, came early to the conclusion that if they wanted to get their 3d animation To Shoot a Rurf made, waiting around for funding or credit carding it wasn’t the way to go. Instead the duo harnessed the power of the GNU license and created the entire project using freeware and open source software in a snappy 6 month period, free from both outside reliance and interference"
