Don't Mess With the Boom, Man

 

[Matt Sconce]

Awesome! Welcome to the fest!

 

[AmyO]

Welcome to a fellow fest newbie. Look forward to your entry.

Happy shooting.

 

[Charli]

Like the title, good way to start. Good luck.

 

[Norm Sanders]

That named after the book in the Bible, or is there another definition I'm not aware of? I agree, intriguing title!

 

[chris f]

You are correct, from the Bible

The first of many shoots was done today. I tried to do everything the legit way and get an official permit, etc. but after finding out how much I would have to pay to use a "free" location I opted to just show up and film, which is what we did today and it worked out perfectly.

 

[chris f]

added screen grabs and bts photos, i'll post the official film info soon and hopefully a poster/banner sometime soon as well

 

[Norm Sanders]

Got some GREAT grabs going on there, Chris ... screams big production value! :thumbsup:

 

[Brandon Rice]

WHOA! Nice screenshots there!

 

[Michael_Petro]

Wow! good looking stuff.

 

[Edgen]

Wonderful grabs! Looking forward to seeing your entry.

cheers!

[chris f]

added a couple of grabs from Day #3. more bts photos to follow soon

 

[Norm Sanders]

Chris, some nice grabs up there ... again, REALLY dig the title on this as well!

 

[chris f]

thanks Norm, so far so good, but i've still got alot left to shoot.

also, i've added some more bts photos

 

[chris f]

i've been planning on motion tracking a few shots in after effects for my film, and just realized today that I may not have access to after effects this week before the deadline. right now I have access to final cut and motion, is there a way to motion track in either of those? if not, it looks like I might have to try to do it manually frame by frame

 

[Dahopafilms]

Hey Chris.

Really interesting screen shots - interesting to compare their look to your staging in the BTS shots.

Looking forward to this.

 

[Keystoned]

Wow those grabs look like an episode of law and order or something -- nice!

 

[Noel Evans]

Agree with others, some nice shots there. Good luck.
