I have worked with James Oram multiple times on music videos, as well as having created a few films for Michelle Lucking. The three of us started talking and discussed an idea where we could all work on a larger collaboration piece with performance artist Niamh Gaia. With a traditional short film, you would usually have the music composed afterwards and work to a storyboard, but with this project we composed the music beforehand. Composer James Oram worked with Barry to create a piece of music that would hit 'key moments' in the film. Once the piece was completed, not only did it provide a framework for the edit of the film (which had yet to have been shot) but also allowed to serve as inspiration for artist Michelle Lucking when working on the painting. |
