A friend of mine asked me a couple of weeks ago if i could help him shoot a 60 second spot for a local 60 second film fest. He came to me with the idea, we shot it yesterday and i wanted to share it with you guys.
It's completely improvised. We must have shot it around 6-7 time and chose the one that fit the 60 second time limit. Dan, my buddy, is the guy on the left and I'm on the right. This guy is an improv champion. He works with an improv group that does shows around Montreal, and me... well.. I don't, but i try none the less!
Shot on Canon XH A1 with Panavision preset with some curve and saturation adjustment in post. All my lights are still at my friends house for the feature i've been working on for the passed year so all we had to us were 2 of my 150 hmi's from Coollights, some diffusion and a large window with natural daylight.
Considering, from start to finish ( putting up the first light stand to burning the DVD ) it took us all of 3.5 hours, i am satisfied with what we were able to achieve.
I hope, if for nothing else, it brings at least the slightest smile to your faces.
Was feeling inspired so i put together a poster, something which i have never done before so it was a lot of fun trying to muster something out.

*** I notice that on movie posters, much of the time the characters in the image look more cartoon than they would regularly appear in the film. Something about the texture, skin, makes it look more like a painting than a photo. Does anyone know the correct way to go about it?
here are the originals slightly downscaled from the poster:
