Scottish
Films: Filming
& Production
Traditional & Innovative.
Lit from above...
Our
new production is Isle
of Skye's first DVD and
a
new type of film:
'Skye
- The Movie!'
draws upon a number of
film making styles such
as Brian Eno's 'Video
Paintings' and Ron Fricke's
'Baraka'....
The Isle of Skye has played
host to a large number
of feature films with
its dramatic scenery and
legendary atmosphere.
It now is portrayed in
a film of its own which
celebrates a whole year
of typical happenings
on the famous Scottish
island.
Scottish
musician and pioneering
music distributor Chris
Stepien and explorer /
film maker Moodi Drury
set up Scottish Films
to launch ‘Skye –
The Movie!’ on DVD
and VHS. A typical scene
on this largely unspoilt
Jurassic island makes
atypical viewing, as the
film’s director Moodi
Drury insists, and he
should know. Having spent
many, often unsociable
hours in all weathers,
over a whole year armed
with video camera, the
result is this collection
of the finest shots available,
anywhere. At the moment
of capturing the full
solar eclipse in May 2003
he realised the project
was strong enough to be
published and contacted
Scotsound’s Chris
Stepien. The two met and
Scottish Films was born.
Scotsound
also reportedly had humble
beginnings when Mr.Stepien,
now based in Forres, set
out over 20 years ago
with copies of his own
traditional accordion
tunes on cassette, not
bad for a company who
were at one time EMI’s
only Scottish outlet.
Scotsound came the cream
of Scottish music for
the soundtrack to ‘Skye
– The Movie!’
The
film is unique as it has
no narration, only rhe
great music and poetry,
thus creating a more relaxing
‘virtual visit’
which can be experienced
more often without the
interruptions a spoken
voice might make.
A
subtle blend of the traditional
Gaelic medium and the
latest digital approaches,
with a lively capturing
of Skye's unparalleled
scenic environment, results
in a new and dynamic form
of cinematic experience...
