49. Foraging and cooking Wild Mushrooms
4 months ago
Following on from my recent plum jam film vimeo.com/28556006 I decided to have a go at filming my local mushroom forager and chef, Nik Westacott.
He took me to our local Sussex woods and we spent the best part of a day filming.
To be honest, I don't even like mushrooms that much but the dish Nik cooked up in the woods with these wild mushrooms was just amazing.
I want to thank Nik again for all his help. Do visit his website 82fishbourne.co.uk He's a lovely chap.
Please, please be careful if you do go foraging for wild mushrooms - there really are a lot of poisonous ones out there and they sometimes look very similar to the edible ones so do take an expert.
The music was royalty free from neosounds.com and was called 'Lost'
This was filmed with the Canon 5D Mark II and various lenses. And it was coloured in FCPX with mlooks from motionvfx.com/
Hope you like the film.

My thoughts:
I would have liked something more compelling at the beginning to keep my interest. I want to be made curious about what I'm watching - I almost stopped when the music went longer than a few seconds. Something I've learned my own projects I've produced.
The visuals and audio narrative were solid. Color grading was a little flat for my taste but that could be any number of things related to what was used to render out/camera profile used
As a foodie, I loved the story itself for what it represented!
Well done!

I like the pace of the piece, the audio narrative helps draw the viewer in. Without wanting to be influenced too much by Cliff's comments, the only thing I would say is that it does take sometime before the narrative comes in so it's important the imagery keeps visual interest...
I personally like the "reverse" forage on the mushrooms. It might have been a good idea to try a macro lens for a subject like mushrooms. That could have given extra textural depth to the imagery.
As I tweeted, one of your best yet. Enjoyed it!
You might be surprised to know that my 100mm macro was used a lot in this video especially for those reverse shots at the beginning. Some of those mushrooms were tiny!
I love the music. Who did it?

The music was royalty free believe it or not from neosounds.com and was called 'Lost'
I forgot to write that the reverse foraging was brilliant. Thanks!
How's Bangkok. Still raining?
I could almost taste the mushroom here in Brazil !!!
Thanks for sharing this ...
Thanks!
