A few weeks ago we captured the footage for the short version of Domestique<\/a>, intended to be used to try and get investors onboard the project.\u00a0 My wife captured some behind-the-scenes<\/a> pictures and videos (at the very bottom is a link to more pictures) and, after the usual dilly dallying, I finally put them on the web.<\/p>\n

Last Sunday I met with the DP (Austin Reeves<\/a>) to get ‘background plates’ (e.g., ‘stock footage’) for the racing scenes we shot on greenscreen.\u00a0 It was quite hot, but, thankfully, not terribly humid.\u00a0 He has a little camera (that can, nonetheless, capture 4K imagery) that’s mounted in a computer-controlled gizmo to stabilize the video it captures.\u00a0 Held on by suction cups to the car, it wirelessly connected to his iPad so he could see and control it.<\/p>\n

Then we drove around looking for places to shoot.\u00a0 We found a few hills that seemed quite steep when we wend down, but weren’t even noticeable when we went back up.\u00a0 Eventually we found a good place and got what we think we need.<\/p>\n

The final shot we took, which I think will be perfect as the final shot of the short, Austin (thanks for suggesting this) felt I should drive away from the camera until the car goes over the hill and out of site.\u00a0 That’s what I love about movie making, the collaboration and serendipity that allows amazing things to happen.\u00a0 We (or, likely, Austin) still need to capture a cafe-like scene as well as a hotel-like scene.\u00a0 At least these are stationary and, once the right location is found, should take no more than 10-15 minutes.<\/p>\n

Then it’s all on Tony<\/a>, the editor, who has all the footage.\u00a0 All 700 GB of it, captured in 4K resolution and log mode (I only think I know what ‘log mode’ means).\u00a0 He had to buy a new hard drive and it took more than a day to download.\u00a0 To get a copy, I had to also buy a hard drive, but I formatted it such that it’s incompatible with Windows, so need to try that again, soon.<\/p>\n

Next up for me on this project is to work on the second draft of the script (I’ve been given lots of good ideas) and start hammering out a budget.\u00a0 That way, ideally, when the short is done I can quickly begin my efforts to locate the right investors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
