DP Justin Brickle Shoots The Tumbler
2008-10-28
DoP Justin Brickle’s latest feature film, The Tumbler, is a low-budget political thriller/war movie starring Gary Sweet, shot entirely in 15 days in the outskirts of Broken Hill, on the Panasonic HD Varicam.
Despite concerns about weather and the limitations of a small budget, Justin and Director, Marc Gracie, supported by a small but dedicated crew, managed to maintain a consistency of look (the story unfolds over just one day) and get enough coverage to put together all the pieces of the puzzle. It was quite an achievement to shoot a 100-page script in just 15 days - with a few alternative endings to boot.
Justin says; “Shooting small-sized projects like The Tumbler you gain a greater sense of pride when you realize what you managed to pull off against the filmmaking odds. A good reminder that through trial and adversity comes inspiration and innovation”.
Justin also has a new documentary, The Future Makers, due for a screening later this year on the Discovery Channel.
