Research for Hunt Angels
I had a long chat to the Director of Hunt Angels (Alec Morgan) last night about his new film Hunt Angels. Here's the synopsis :
In 1939 Rupert Kathner and Alma Brooks began a movie-making spree that took on the Hollywood barons, a corrupt police Commissioner and the cultural cringe all in their passionate pursuit to make Australian films. On the run from police across thousands of miles, they would stop at almost nothing to get their films made.
Much of the film is composited for a large selection of still photographs that Alec spent six months researching, using the Internet almost exclusively. He tracked down a huge number of stills for the production using online databases for the various archives and museums in Australia. He said that he couldn't have done it without the online archives.
This film is a great example of how you can recreate historical scenes without building sets (and assuming you don't have a King Kong budget to build 3-D models). It's also a charming and witty film so see it if you can!
