Barry and Jarred's 2 week Blog

Re: Barry and Jarred's 2 week Blog

Alright.. been slacking but had good reason, went from London to Sierra Leonne Monday, Arrived late and was escorted via HIP helicopter to our guides.. thank god for our guides cause we probally wouldn't of made it past the parking lot.

Its definately a different world out here, but the amazing thing about this part of West Africa is that everyone seems very happy and very proud, You wouldn't be able to tell there was just a war or that there was immense poverty. Its pretty cool actually. Filming begins tommorow, so that will be interesting, hopefully the trusty DVX can hold up in the heat.

Re: Barry and Jarred's 2 week Blog

actually a few people in Freetown have internet (The place I am using costs them $9000 USD per month for 2 way satellite). Believe it or not though everyone has cellphones, and new cellphones that we dont even have in the US.
 
Re: Barry and Jarred's 2 week Blog

this was one of the coolest threads. Im amazed you guys lead these kind of lives in just one week...if im correct. What are your titles exactly? Film Director...editor...video production....?
 
Re: Barry and Jarred's 2 week Blog

My title depends on which job I'm working at the time.  I've been hired as a producer, line producer, writer, UPM, director, cinematographer, video tech, camera operator, sound mixer, boom operator, teleprompter operator, editor, field producer, 1st AD, tape playback operator, and... well, I'm sure some more.  And that's just in the last year.

... and some jobs, for nonprofits, I've done *all* those on the same gig (like I'm sure many here have).

But 95% of my work nowadays is as producer/writer/director/editor over my own projects.

Re: Barry and Jarred's 2 week Blog

Hint -- think short, green, with furry ears, and kind of old...

Thats awsome quality (well compared to my canon mv500i), how did you do it?
 
Re: Barry and Jarred's 2 week Blog

Its with the new little canon powershot sd200... the movie mode is 640x480 30fps... and it also shoots 60fps high speed... best movie modes of any still camera. Drop a 1 gig card in there and your set.

Anyways.. still in Africa.. I goto the airport in a few hours and will be in london for 8 hours for a layover, so will be able to update the photos of the last week while im in Gatwick. :) sorry for the sparce news.. only one place in Freetown has high speed internet.
