Jem Noble from Blackout Arts, Bristol

"BA organized the event and we worked together as artists. We've done quite a few of these types of projects and many varied films, but this is the first one where we've not actually chosen the film. It was suggested because of the nature of the festival and the nature is that it was the first film to use fully composited blue-screened film. I hadn't seen it before the proposal was selected. We were sent the DVDs to watch. I didn't really like the film and then I realised one of the things I really didn't like about it was the original music, because its really in your face, a fully orchestral score, very literal. Every time anything happened there's a very direct score. So for me the film got better as we stripped down the sound"

Simon: "I thought it was good and made you pay more attention to the music in the film than you usually do because you usually use it to make you more excited, but it wasn't like that, it was more like the music was interesting, rather than just going with the film, but it did go with the film at the same time, so it was good."

Darren: "I came to see sky captain because I liked the idea of live accompaniment. I think it made it very different, I enjoyed watching it, it changed the experience. It was a little bit processed maybe, the voices because I guess they spent a bit of time cutting the rest of the sound out and then dropped the videos back on. It was more like watching a slowed down music video or something, but less like watching a film."

John-Paul "I though it was good and the sound was different, like more drum and bass then normal film music."

Alan, physiotherapist
"The film was great, very wooden, but great. The music kind of suits it but
it doesn't compare to Beethoven does it?! Nice look, very retro, lovely."
