"A Verse Before Dying" - AF-100 Western Short

[Barry_Green]

They really do do it BIG in Texas, don't they!

As I've been saying... "balls to the wall."

Almost as as big as half of Alaska.

:evil:

But Alaska is represented, so it's all good.

This sounds amazing. My dad and I where actually just discussing the set you are talking about over the weekend. He just recently moved out of Dripping Springs to be further off in the Hill Country. I too would love to be able to see some stills from the set.

 

[Matt Gottshalk]

There will plenty of stills taken throughout the shoot.

This project sounds better and better. Can't wait to see more!

 

[Chris Messineo]

I'm so excited to see this!

Also, maybe I missed it, but who did the poster? It's phenomenal!

Poster Design by the wicked-talented designer Bill Laviolette. Thanks!

I had planned to write a long introductory post to kick off the production, but honestly, we're due on set in about six hours, and sleep is more crucial at the moment.

I will say this…

The opportunity to work with the crew we have assembled is truly an honor. I am humbled to be in the company of so many talented and passionate people. Experiences like this are nothing short of inspirational, a natural by-product of getting great people together who love what they do.

Over the next several days, we will share some of our work and many of our stories from the set. I hope that, in some small way, what you read and take away will enrich, enlighten and inspire you as much as this entire site has done for me in my time here.

I'm starting to wonder if the entire thing will be shot on the AF100 save for some shots for other cameras or if including some film means we will get several versions of the same piece on different media...

Break a leg, we're all counting on you.

 

[Noel Evans]

Have a great time! Enjoy the ride

We are wrapped on day one. Photos to come when we get back to crew quarters.

My legs hurt. i have goat s**t all over my clothes and its in my lungs too.

The location, is now a part of a goat farm, and the goats use the set building as shelter. 10 years of goat **** equals, 4 inch thick layer that gets pulverized into dust by the feet of 24 people..... and is now in my lungs.

Well, okay, you figured it out. We're not shooting this film on an AF100.














































We're shooting it on TWO AF100's!

 

[Luis Caffesse]

We're shooting on AF100s??




What's funny is as ridiculous as the above posts sounded....neither Timur nor Barry are kidding.
Day 1 down...

Goats remnants aside....

We got STELLAR stuff today. I also pulled off what is possibly the most complex single lighting structure i've ever built... and the folks involved with this project pulled it off swimmingly. Lets just say, i had, 1 Dimmer, 1 4x4 frame skinned with 216, another skin of straw, 6 Cstands holding up 4 nets and 2 cutters, and a grip hollywooding a flag, all to shape the light of 1 Mole Richardson inkie. Thats a 150w pepper light in case you didn't know.
