Fantasy Field Recording (Filmmaking Workshops for QTIPOC+)
March 15 @ 2:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Are you LGBTQIA+ and Black/a Person of Colour and would like to learn how to make your own short films?
SQIFF and Exhale Group C.I.C. are bringing you 4x filmmaking workshop sessions, making film an accessible medium to get into. All sessions will be facilitated by Nat Lall and hosted at Transmission Gallery.
Nat Lall is a Glasgow-based film curator, known for their work with the SQIFF. Nat is also an artist and DJ. Notable works include the film Pink Excavation (2018) and their musical alias is DJ FLUFFIE.
Each workshop will focus on a different aspect of filmmaking. It’d be great if you could attend all four sessions, but don’t be discouraged to come if you can only come for a couple of sessions that you’re really excited about!
Information on this session (3/4):
We’re going to get creative and make immersive, otherworldly soundscapes, from the comfort of the gallery space. Expect an intro to Foley, Spatial Audio and my own concept of ‘IRL field recording’.
Foley lets you create a range of textural sound effects to add into films. You can create big, gory, explosive, slimy sounds simply with some everyday items and a microphone.
Spatial Audio lets you create a physical space with your recordings. Rather than flat mono sounds, you can place your sounds left or right, up or down and forwards or back. It lets your audience transport to vast otherworldly dimensions… without you having to leave the comfort of your home or studio.
IRL Field Recording is a concept I coined during my BA in Sound Arts. The soundscapes are not at all recorded ‘In Real Life’, rather they are dreamed up and carefully devised. The name represents my skeptical views towards the ‘facts’ of science, reality, and notably gender. Who constructed these ‘facts’ anyway? Is everything not sci-fi to an extent?
PS. No equipment, or prior audio recording knowledge is necessary. Also, be in touch if you have any access needs.
