The Heist

The Heist was a film i made for my Minor Project in my final year of University. It was supposed to be a personal project where each member of the group had to direct a film each, I'd had this idea for a while with a friend, and figured it would be simple enough for me to organise and shoot by myself, I only needed Craig and Chris to step in as Camera Op and Sound Op, and they did a good enough job! In return I camera op'd for both of their projects. Now it wasnt a huge project like Super Joe was and I honestly didnt really think about blogging about it, Not much happens in my life to be worth blogging about in between my filmmaking and photography phases.

Now, personally i'm really happy with how this film turned out, it was pretty much exactly how I imagined it, besides a couple of more over-the-top stunts that were in the script that we had to work around/cut out, and I never found the time to Film a minor scene on an office location that i'd forgotten about and the actors lived quite a way away so it was impractical to get them back for a tiny shoot. I think the film works on its own merits and my actors all loved it, its so far become my most popular film on my YouTube channel too!
