Galactic Council is a short film written by Alistair Hughes. This is our first production, and is being used mainly as a vehicle to learn some of the arts of film making.
Our team consists of a writer, photographer and musician, allowing us to bring some talent together to film making. However, as anyone will know, it's a long and hard fought process to translate this to narrative film making.
We have to start somewhere, and we're pleased with our efforts so far. This clip is a snippet of one of the scenes we shot. There's plenty that we need to add, rework and just give up on, but it's been great fun. More will be coming as it's edited, and will be hopefully released at a local festival....or just to our friends and family over some hotdogs and beer

To see how we got to this stage, we've compiled a few screen casts on our learning process with After Effects.
