Editorials by Victo Ngai
The artistic engine that we call Victo Ngai continues to power some of the most powerfully vibrant and electrically surreal art that’s not only scalding hot to the touch, but also capable of making you slow down and admire the clockwork mechanics underneath the hood. High quality giclee prints are available over at Victo’s website: victo-ngai

Recce for sight and sound Woodthorpe Grange Park
Sunday saw the first break in the snow for a couple of weeks so the perfect time to take a stroll to my first location to recce, armed with the Roland R26 field recorder and my camera.
As expected it was busy with dog walkers and families. Unfortunately you could hear the hum of the city quite clearly through the recorder. Audibly this wasn’t going to be suitable for atmosphere recording but it was quiet enough not to be an issue for the dialogue recording.
Visually it could work but maybe the area is a little small. The benches have marks on them that will have to be sfx edited out and the amount of footfall along with being on a flight path is concerning. Maybe a change in thinking and a country house that is a little quieter for the visuals.
Saturday sees me taking the audio kit out again to try and secure my atmosphere recording in Loughboroughs Beacon Hills. It is rural and quiet so it should be a sure bet, but there is 15mph wind and rain forecast. The best I can do is get out there and see what happens! Be nice to start getting some production stuff in the bag.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go on an overnight drunk, and in 10 days I’m going to set out to find the shark that ate my friend and destroy it. Anyone who wants to tag along is more than welcome.
