New York City DVXUSER Crew Presents: Katrina

Thanks Dennis and Ted! Timur did an awsome job with Wayne's adapter and I hope to do the same with the new Brevis on my next joint. :)
 
Yeah, that adapter really does a nice job. I really want to have one of those! I have been keeping the M2 in the back of my head as a future buy but I don't know.

Timur, do you have access to the M2? I would love to see some side-by-side comparisons. (Not now, obviously..... but down the road.)
 
thanks ted, I am in the heat of editing now, and I hope to GOD this thing flies. It's a tough genre to pull off, but it's looking like a ton of fun right now. I hope it is for the viewers.

Mark, when you have time, I would love to know what you mean about the genre being tough to pull off. (the time setting, the props, the "feeling") Seriously, I am so enamored with your grabs that I want to go out and create a film of this genre... I would love to know how and why it is tough to pull off. (maybe it is the CCing of the period.)

Anyway, good luck. I can't wait to see this!!!
 
not to diminish what timur and aram and the crew did, but the lighting is like the easiest part. mainly because with guys that talented, you can just do it. they know what they're doing and just move in and make it happen. same with the costumes, set etc. Its all a lot of work, but with good people, they just go get the stuff and it's done.

I will detail more late, but what's hard is selling the writing. this thing is written very much like a film noir, which is what it is, and whats tough is having the actors sell the lines without them sounding stupid. It's working out, but I was pretty nervous last night. :)
 
yep. I mean, the lights will look good whether the movie is stupid or not. Just don't be surprised if I save it for ComedyFest :)

Guys, the grabs look excellent. Aram, great job on the lighting too :-) Timur, Wayne is lucky to have such an enthusiastic supporter, and based on my experience, I can guarantee you're providing him with lots of inspiration on the flip side.

Hey Mark, Timur, Aram and the rest.... I just had to write and say again how wonderful your project looks. I keep seeing those grabs in my head and am just dying to shot something with this style of lighting and directing. It really looks fantastic! I absolutley LOVE the lighting.

Great job, guys. Really looking forward to your film.

Are you really nervous? I think Godfrey,Brandon and Linsdey Knocked it out of the park. ESPECIALLY godfrey on the third night of shooting.... HE was AWESOME.
 
yeah, well looking at the raw footage, I was like: "this is silly." But it's cutting nicely. Even I'm pretty good! We missed some nuances of Lindsey's performance that she had in rehearsal. I think just nerves, but I should have stayed on top of her more...er, well...that came out wrong. Anyway, when i bring her in to ADR, I am going to adjust some line reads to bring those nuances back into the performance.

But it's cutting pretty nicely. I am about done with sc 3, and about to do the last scene for this cut.
 
oh yeah, and if only we could've kept Aram from stepping into every other shot with his damned screw-light thing and red gel...
 
I hope that you can snap a few bts shots during ADR. Do you use a special room? I was checking out Ryan's (235 Studio) and Norm's (Envision) set-up. Would like to gather some ideas here for future work.
 
Oh yeah... I bet a studio is a great place to do ADR! :grin: And now that I say that, I do know a guy with a studio! I'll have to remember that. Here I was thinking of using blanketed walls and such.
