Well, I'm shooting a series here in Cadiz -Andalucia, south of Spain- for the internet, with friends, amateur actors... so we are 3 people the crew... We wrote the script and I was in charge of directing, with a friend, and doing the photography, editing and CC myself. I went to NYC to visit my girlfriend -she's a makeup artist- and while having lunch we thought "what if we shoot something here in NYC?" series fans -via facebook, this is the 2nd season- are going to flip. It was a kind of joke for them. She did me the favour to act. So I wrote fast and prepared everything. Next day, we both took the subway to the different parts of the city. She is from there, so the production part was on her charge... I had my zoom h4n recorder, she is carrying it in all the shots walking... if not, hidden behind the laptop... etc...
I had the 7D and my Canon 28mm 1.8 and Canon 50mm 1.4. She took me to Columbia, the Village, Brooklyn promenade, central park... for the scenes inside the subway we waited till night and the last stop, since there wasn't any people there. We went home at night, exhausted after that day... and recorded the interior scenes with the lamps she has there. For the focusing... well, when you are used to do this no budget... your skills improve I suppose. The zacuto viewfinder is essential for me though!! Well when she walks in central park... 20 takes!!! Someone looking to the camera, the recorder could be seen in other ones, I did not focus well... finally we got it! I'm the man who delivers the envelope in the Brooklyn shot (we were she and me, so we had to prepare the shot and leave the cam recording on the tripod).
Next day I returned to Spain and edited the scene in 2 days, mixing sound and color correcting the footage, shot by shot.
Hope you like it!!
