From Doug Lehmann:  I wrote Glyn Styler in one of
my screenwriting classes at
Watkins. I later produced it in my Production III class. GS is my first
movie shot on film. I've made one other on DV, two on Hi8, and a couple
others that aren't even worth mentioning. Almost all my movies and various scripts deal with characters that are outsiders. Niche motifs that have universal appeal. Glyn Styler is the story of a man that reinvents himself. The thing I love most about him is that he puts on a mask not to take us on a fantastical journey, but to speak honestly about his life. The real Glyn Styler has little to do with the plot of the short. I simply "borrowed" this intriguing character. We shot Kodak B&W reversal stock on an ARRI SR. The reversal is what gives it that contrasted, documentary like image. We also masked off the image to 2.35:1 aspect ratio. I don't think that's done very often in 16mm because it means a grainier image, but I think grain, dirt, dark, and contrast are perfect for this story. -Doug Lehmann |
