Patrick Ireland's Film 'Ramapithecus' Film shoot

Ramapithecus from Phoebe Jaspe on Vimeo.

I've recently joined the Sheffield Film Society based at University Of Sheffield, as well as the Creative film society at SHU. I found the society via Facebook and google. It was a great experience working on a professional set with Patrick Ireland, a 4th year student studying Politics at University of Sheffield, a film enthusiast. I got the experience to work in Boom Mic Operation/Clapper Board/Continuity/Time/Equipment Setup and A.D. He organised a rota between five people that were willing to help. The location shoot was at Shakespeare pub, near Kelham island. 

"The plot for the film is as follows: two university students, ex-Oxbridge and old, aristocratic wealth, decide to slaughter a mentally handicapped teenager. Why? Because they believe there are no ethical or social reasons for why killing someone with a mental disability is un

just. They challenge a fellow student, one comfortably settled in the middle class, to challenge them; to give them a coherent, strong argument for why they should not commit the murder. The film is a horror/drama, very theatrical and twisted."

I learned a lot from Patrick's handouts with the fact that he directed and produced the whole production by himself and the crew he gathered was inspiring.
