BLACKOUT - A Chris Curl Film

There is a God...and he hath bless our shoot. Lol

I'll let Chris fill in the details, but yesterday's shoot went AWESOME! Well...mine and Tony's acting was awesome. As far as the direction...I have my doubts. LOL.

Nah, in all seriousness, I'd work for Chris Curl anytime. Dude rocks!

<-- The Darkness ROCKS!
 
So yesterday was my first time using a 35mm lens adapter (sgBlade). I hadn't had much time to experiment much with it since it arrived. Definitely not a one man job running that thing. So the question is...what percentage of this film will be in focus...10%....20%...half if were lucky!
 
Hey Chris, I know you just got the whole SGBlade and all, but I'm really looking into shooting the next one on that 1014XL... we'll see what happens.
 
Arrrgh, well we're going to have a movie, but too many shots in too short of a time frame and not having someone on the shoot that really knows interior lighting is killing me now that I'm editing Saturday's footage, we did our best guessing with the lights but so much to learn in that department, and we got moving so fast as it got later that you just end up neglecting it. Looks like we underlit alot of our shots. It's ok though, it has been a huge learning experience.
 
And user Smettli just gave me great advice on setting up my sgBlade on the DVX100, I really wish I had thought to ask around before our shoot, I think my setup was way off.
 
Thought you were going to do something in post to make it look darker anyway? Who cares! We did our best with what we had, kicked its ass, and didn't bother with taking a name.

I say we did our best, and I'm proud to have been a part of it! Now, how about some Baltis screenies?
 
Rod - it's better to have the cleanest image possible in the shoot. That way you can make all the adjustments you want in post. You can darken an image in the edit, but you can't get information out of darkly-shot areas without adding a lot of noise/grain.

That said, I feel like an idiot, because I was going by that monitor, and forgot to check the zebras at any point.

But hey, lessons learned, correct? The next one will kick more ass because of it.
 
Hola my VB bredren!

Your poster and grabs look great.:thumbup:

It was cool to run into you guys yesterday. Hopefully, the next time you see me, I won't be in nerd mode. :)

Looking forward to seeing the film and working together soon.
 
It's a good thing cuz I am going to be serving up 6 minutes of fudge shortly. Where can I rent a time machine?
