The project is on its way to the full on recording process with a whole crew but before that can happen equipment needs to be setup, prepared, and tested for the long hours ahead. In a way the project has moved into the recording process but mainly a scene that takes place in my house and can be done without a big crew. I've done many retakes to get closer and closer to the production quality look that I want but it still seems like there's quite a way to go. Working on this scene is an introduction to the tedious parts of the production process and will help cut down on time taken on sets where time may be limited.
Provided are pictures that include one setup that may be used in place of a Dolly that involves socks and tissues gliding on a smooth surface. At the moment the socks are a substitute for Tennis balls. Improvisation is not only useful for actors in scenes in movies but also in a production when something goes wrong and you're flat out broke. Also there is a little clip to keep things interesting since it is an action movie and you should practice stunts and choreography before shooting. Safety is of course an importance when working in action choreography.
How did you get the pictures and video up??? lol and kudos on the improv.
ReplyDeleteAwesome!!! I can't believe your mom let you do that so close the T. V.
ReplyDeleteI'm super impressed with your ability to jury-rig your equipment. Any other tricks you've picked up?
ReplyDeleteBrian that was by far one of the coolest videos I've seen, congrats!
ReplyDeleteThere are tons of articles and plans I've been reading of stabilizers and cheap dollies that I can bother Alex Davis for or do myself. The interesting stuff is in the steadicams that look like horrible tripods but get great shots. Lots of things to do when you don't feel like buying expensive equipment.
