FLOWER a flyin' monkey films production

Come now. Don't be so hard on Zaza. He's definitely not turd shaped. I don't know what kind of shape you'd call it though...
 
Yeah, Zombies who feed on retardation!

REWARD: nifty looking post and a bowl of green jello, the same kind used by Jessica in the movie "Flower", to anyone who will annihilate this "Puckthesane" character.

Total and complete annihiliation is required in order to claim your prize.
 
Hahahahaha, Rodders did blame you for the Evil Puck, not me... I did say you were a turd, so I deserve a little bite!

Does Jessica come with the Jello? Might make the prize more worthwhile! :happy:
 
Got the steadicam back from Dave today (otherwise known as storage) and did a quick run through of the action for the movie. My big dilemna now is do I use the steadicam since the movie was specifically designed for steadicam... or do I go the more traditional route?

I really think I developed my own style starting with "Keeper of the Lost", and that style fully blossomed on "Strange Days of Joey Davis". To do a whole movie with steadicam now would either be a departure of that style of shooting... or it could add to the style. I just know that steadicam moves on their own are very demanding and I'm planning something very ambitious with this move. So far Andrew thinks I'm crazy, Jessica is with-holding judgement (she thinks I'm crazy) and I'm not too sure...

Opinions anyone?

EDIT: by Steadicam I mean my modded Glidecam V-8

Couldn't you just work a bit of the steadicam in there? I like motion....you should also build a ZazaSlider, it will make your life much easier. :happy:
 
It's designed to be shot ALL on the steadicam. I suppose I could use some nudging in the direction of the all famous Zazaslider though...
 
Then I say go for it! Go with your gut... and a *ZazaSlider.



*use of the ZazaSlider in no way guarantees a place in the top 10 of any fest, but
it can't hurt. Any injuries incurred while attempting a dolly, zolly, pan/zoom/slide or
upside-down ground slide are the express responsibility of owner. There is no coverage
for failure to get 'The Shot' due to defects in materials or workmanship which occur during normal use.
 
I need a stamp of a approval! You've convinced me: This move will be made ONLY with the ZazaSlider (TM).

Seriously. I'm going to get the slider and test out a few moves to work the full dynamic range of the ZazaSlider. Any tips you wanna share, I'll be glad to utilize. Building it is one thing... using it like you did in "Miss Laid" was sheer artistry. I want to take those moves you did in the opening sequence and have most utilize those. Keep it dynamic. Keep it groovy.

We'll talk. PM me with any questions, I'm more than glad to share. The trickest move is the slide, pan, tilt, zoom and requires a bit of practice. Another cool thing that would be good in a monster movie is to drop one leg of the tripod and get a "DutchSlide"... very cool!:2vrolijk_08:
I've also mounted the tripod with the slider on a dolly with flextrack (opening shot in "Miss Laid" as I dolly/slide up her body). There's SO much you can do with one of these things.

AHA!! Flextrack! I knew it had to be something funky going on there, cuz you kept on moving and moving and I was like "wtf? how is he doing that?" cuz I knew you utilized the slider greatly.

I don't do zooms so that particular trick is out for me. Only time I ever zoom is to get a tighter frame.

I agree with Andrew, you're crazy! But, you're also very talented (damn you!), so whatever you're planning, I'm sure it will be awesome!
