Limelight, looking for crew
Limelight International co-owner Dale Bradley has announced that the company is looking for crew to work on their new slate of projects, starting in July in Queensland.
“The company is very keen to work with new people who have not previously been involved in our productions,” said Bradley.
One of these projects will be the low budget thriller Undertow, written by Jacqueline Cook and directed by Bradley himself. Undertow is about a young woman lawyer who is kidnapped by the male loser in a divorce/custody case; with a budget of under $5m, Limelight has applied for support from Screen Queensland.
Bradley has given a name to the company’s new slate of projects, NEXTgeneration. The will be shot at the company’s Gold Coast studio and on location in Brisbane and the Gold Coast.
He also said that this slate will be an opportunity for Limelight to work with new technologies.
“Obviously there are great new digital camera technologies which we will be using, plus some newer ‘green’ lighting technologies which I want to investigate,” he told Encore.
“I am particularly interested in streamlining the production office with more up-to-date software than what is currently being used. A prime example is Movie Magic Scheduling, which is the industry standard – but is archaic and extremely limited. In particular the data captured by MMS has been deliberately locked in and can’t be accessed by other departments or exported to other applications. In this day, where every crew member uses an iPhone, that is not good enough. On the NEXTgen slate I will be seeking to establish a proper data base solution that serves every department. I also plan to use web based (or cloud) solutions more and eliminate a lot of the paper – ‘save the trees!’”
