DIRECTOR'S NOTES
The Wild Geese is a driving, beautiful evocative piece of classical music that harmonises an incredible piece of Western Australian maritime history: The Catalpa Rescue 1876, an epic jail break story. We wanted our camera movement and lighting to conjure a sense of adventure and capture the energy of the story.
It was a challenge to capture cinematically Perth Symphony Orchestra, given the size of the spaces to light, but it doesn’t get any more exciting than placing an orchestra on three different levels of the Hackett Hall surrounding a giant whale skeleton.
