Evie - Mark Harris

Update on first day of shoot:

Aram lit the building on fire. Re-writing the script to take advantage. More soon.

You have my interest... at least you are not throwing in the towel. I hope Aram pigtailed the fuse box before lighting the place up with 2K+ lights. Ok, I'm guessing.
 
Intelligence teamwork and very nice collaboration.
Thanks for sharing a great time today (on set). I had a really good time.
keep up the good work

Kwan, thanks so much for your help and your generosity in this shoot. It was nice to meet you and work with you.

Everyone on the shoot today killed it. Aram, Hech, Kwan, Jules, Omar, Leah, Scott, Jill. Thanks all for coming out and making today a success!

Little wiped right now, but here are a couple of grabs from Day 1, out of the camera, no post yet. Click to see larger versions.







 
thanks michael. We actually worked to get as close as we could to the final in camera. I am not a fan of over-cced footage.

But also, Mike and Aram really got what I was after with the light and shadows. I am a fan of letting people be dark, letting light come from the back and their faces fall int shadow, etc. They got that.

And yeah, those are candles.
 
Well, you guys achieved a very nice look. I think you accomplished what you wanted because if it were me I don't think I would cc it at all.

I figured they were candles, I just wasn't sure because I was looking at the light on his face.
Obviously another source.

Great looking scene.

There is another source on him...a candle source! :)

We actually worked pretty hard to make all of the lighting motivated in this scene, and motivated by the candles around the set, including the flicker of those candles in the moving footage.

Very cool. The flickering light will look nice in the moving footage. So hard to tell in a single frame. :thumbup:
 
First off. how the **** did i miss this thread.

Mark had to beat us into lighting in camera. :) first thing I said was lets light for exposure with the contrasts we want and bring it back down in post and Mark said hell no. And after he got his foot off my throat I agreed.
All true except for the foot on the throat and I think the shots look great. I had to throw them in REDalert and play a little on set during a break though. Mark said something funny about that too but I'm running on 2 hours sleep and about to pass out and can't remember what he said.
Leah did a great freaking job. I have seen her in Marks films and other random films around town but never in person. She kicks ass mos def. VERY professional. Thanks Kwan for coming down and helping and also for saving us on the battery situation. Nate from RED left a message saying they will be sending ours back soon. Mike did a freaking great job staying with the shots and feeling the moments. I know he was hurting with that camera on his back all day. Omar didn't really have a chance to do his Macgyver thing today but I'm sure something will come up for him to build whatever it is we will need.
And of course Mark does such a great job directing. I take notes every time he opens his mouth for real. When I got home its the first thing my girlfriend and I spoke about. Can't wait for tomorrow.

hey Mark need any help with the poster?

Possibly. Another person offered to help too, but honestly I cannot even think about it until tomorrow's shoot is over, and possibly until after the weekend. There is still a lot to do on this little movie...
 
well let me know if you do need it. get through the shoot, but in the back of your mind just consider an iconic shot that you can shoot tomorrow while you have the actors there. No pressure of course.

You're making me blush...

I am actually planning a blog post about directing actors. Not like I am some big know-it-all, but I would like to share some thoughts on it. Jack and I always spent time talking about ways to get actors to do absolutely nothing on camera. It ain't easy, so I will try to start a post about it over the weekend and hope to get some chimes in from the other people in the fest.
