Simon Koelmeyer Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 Yes! I believe that "Papadopoulos and Sons" is at that festival! - I was the production sound mixer on that movie. The post and orchestral work was done at George Martin's Air Studios in London. Hope you enjoy.

Peter Mega Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 Vas, Yasas... A little off topic but I was at Thessaloniki for a few days (twice) during the 2004 Olympic games. The soccer was held there and we flew from Athens to cover the Japan team. I was working for TV Tokyo. Seems like a dream now though. Beautiful city you live in and great food!!!

VASI Posted November 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 Hi Peter, Yes it's very hard to me if leave one day this city. I'm fall in love with my neighborhood who live. It's called Ano Poli. Every morning I wake up and I'm looking the whole city (panorama view) and mount Olympus, included the sea. Two things is awesome here. The food and sweets.

Simon Koelmeyer Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Our director - Marcus Markou and one of the stars, Georges Corraface - will be there at the screening on Weds. Please do introduce yourselves to them. They are the friendliest guys and will probably want to ask you about the film industry in Greece!

Simon Koelmeyer Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 You're too kind Vasileios. God bless you! I hope the underground success continues for the film and it makes it into cineplexes across Europe. If anyone can break the major studio distribution domination model, it's Marcus Marcou!

VASI Posted November 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 When I go to the cinema to I see a movie I choose the worst seat. Ever. And the reason is one. In the center of cinema you have the right picture and the right sound. And the reason is because in post production the re-recording mixer seat in center. What happend in sound when the seats is going the corner? It's the same as center position? And the answer for "Papadopoulos and Sons" is yes. Absolutely. Before I go to see the movie (Papadopoulos and Sons) I have see the previous movie in the same cinema house (Tonia Marketaki). Just for comparison in sound (at the same seat). One is Greek no-low budget and one is UK low budget. In Greek movie sometimes I can't understand what is say the actor (imagine the O.V is Greek). No right room tones, ambiences, general the workflow in sound is not good. After the movie I have speak to director (only questions of course) about sound. Answer me with this: "Only ADR, foley and post production work. We don't have production sound on this movie". My eyes is opened as if I see UFO. What can I say? Congratulations and that's all. lol.. And after in your movie at the same position the sound is... you have my comments in PM. I agree with Marcus about distribution "system". It's not the future the previous model. It's a long story that and I hope some day to talk directly for this and the other things. Keep going your work Simon and don't be afraid for your work!

studiomprd Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 " I choose the worst seat. " not me... I go to movies to enjoy them, so I do not handicap myself... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VASI Posted November 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 It's a festival. Not the classic cinema. I'm going to cinema to see and hear works from other collaborators Mike. Called: "I enjoy the movies from different way". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
