Noble Brothers Productions

Since October 2011, I have been involved with Aberdeen based film group Noble Brothers Productions. 
The group was formed by Peterhead brothers Graeme and John-William Noble in February 2009 and specialises in making films based around Christian morals.

Because of co-founder Graeme Noble's keen interest in Hong-Kong action films, many of their films include fight scenes and these are highlighted A Snake Move (2010) and The Shadow of Death (2011).

I have been lucky enough to work on four of their productions so far. I did lighting and played the minor role of Jazmin in their short film Inner Joy of a Broken Heart (2011) and operated sound, lighting and played the minor role of Rhiannon in one of their feature length films Losers in Love (2012). I am now working on two current projects with Noble Brothers Productions and these are Street Fight (completes filming in May 2012) and Call of Babylon (which completes filming in August 2012). I am doing behind-the-scenes duties on these projects (sound and lighting). Noble Brothers Productions are hoping to work on a Doric speaking project called Blue Toon, which will be filming in the summer and hopefully I will get to appear in front of the camera as an actor as yes, I am fluent in Doric!*

I enjoy filming. However like everyone I prefer indoor filming to outdoor filming. Two reasons: 1) I live in the north east of Scotland, so the weather isn't exactly tropical and 2) often sounds can be picked up on the microphone, which hinders the film i.e. sound of a plane flying past, traffic etc...

Cold weather, hours of standing about, ensuring the shots are right can get a bit tedious and tiring... but the end result is worth it! It's a great organisation to be involved with and anyone wanting to work in either the film, television or media industry should get involved in something similar to this... or even start up your own!

*Doric - For those of you who are not from the North East of Scotland, Doric is a language which is spoken in this area. It is spoken (very rarely) in Aberdeen, but spoken more frequently in areas around Aberdeen (Fraserburgh, Peterhead, Huntly etc). Phrases in Doric include "fit like" (how are you?) and "nae bad, yersell?" (not bad, yourself?)
