The journey continues.
Apo Calypso is back in Toronto--the Huron word for 'meeting place'.
As we find our ground and reach out to our contacts, we find that we have gone from full immersion in the life of the Maasai to full immersion in the process of post-production. Our operation is now being run out of the live-in editing studio we have set up at the Toy Factory Lofts in Liberty Village. Here we are hard at work chiseling down our behemoth 77 hour block of footage into a finely sculpted inside-out artistic perspective of everyday life for the people of wildlife, the people of Il Ngwesi.
We have spent an exhausting number of hours behind computer screens since returning from Africa. The Apo crew has had to quickly learn the in-and-outs of the video editing program Final Cut Pro, an interface with which we are now all fully familiarized. Simultaneously, we have been tirelessly reviewing and discussing our footage as we develop the story line most true to the inside-out perspective of Maasai life. We have now constructed a rock solid outline for the visual component of the cinematic journey that will be Il Ngwesi.
Work on the audio component of the film is coming along as well. Apo Calypso is proud to announce its collaboration with Brady Bothwell. Brady is an experienced audio technician currently studying sound design at Fanshawe College. Along with his skill, talent, and knowledge, Brady will also be able to provide us with access to Fanshawe College’s state of the art surround sound mixing studio.
Apo Calypso is also proud to announce that we will be putting on a fundraiser event at Loki Lounge in Toronto! The event, which we are calling the Psychedelic Safari, will feature an artistically enhanced visual celebration of Apo Calypso’s first journey into the cradle of mankind. Brady will be the DJ at the event and will be spinning a set of tribal/house/electro/dub grooves mixed with maasai chants.
We invite you to join us on December 4th at 10:30PM, at Loki Lounge, 577 King Street West. As Always, Onward and Upward
