2014FEATURE DOCUMENTARYFOR OCEANS 8 FILMS EDITOR Antarctica 3D: On the Edge holds the distinction of being the first ever 3D documentary film shot in Antarctica. Jon Bowermaster and his team filmed over the course of a month, and brought home some beautiful images and great stories. Before the film would head off for its finishing and visual effects at Afterglow Studios, the story, style and pacing was composed with preliminary editing. The demo's shown here contain draft voiceover (later re-recorded by Tilda Swinton) and some of my early music curation, before Alice Wood and Natalie Merchant had written their compositions. The full feature augments these initial edits with the addition of some beautiful 3D graphics and visualizations, and was finally mastered for viewing for "giant screen" museum theaters.
