PUSH - Directed by Matt Sconce

Matt, I am still going to finish the rig we talked about last night for future use in Stormbreaker and other films. It is a very cool rig... What did you call it? The Hyperglide? Nice.:Drogar-Happy(DBG):
 
Hyperglide, Hyperfloat, Hyper Hover, Something like that. hehe


UPDATE:
Push Sound is almost done and a large chunk of VFX is near completion as well. mark has a couple more areas to tackle in the VFX department and then off to Justin Durban for the Final Scoring, back to sound mixing and done!

That is wonderful Matt! :laugh: That mini flying sumo is wrong though... :cheesy:
 
Did you and Mark finish the cool effect you shared with me? I can't wait to see it. :shocked:

I am on the welder again today and am finishing the Hyperglide variable axis suspension rig. I have an idea for the other one that beats what we talked about last night. Simple but effective. I just have to have enough square metal tubing stock to do it. :kali:
 
Cool! No we have not finished that effect yet but it is closer. Much better than what I had done!! haha

I can't wait to hear the new idea!

I am going to try to use the same rig for both shots by suspension. I hope to finish that rig Friday around 1pm for that night's shoot.
Me :violent5:Time

Do you still have any green screen colored paint? I could use a small amount.:) Is there a name of the actual green color I could get at Lowes or True Value hardware?

HYPERCAM UPDATE: I tore apart the arm yesterday and completely changed the axis of flex to perpendicular to my direction of motion, and brought it as close to my body as possible. I loaded it down with 25 pounds of iron and ran around the house, outside, up and down stairs and even jumped with it. It functions so smoothly! I am extremely pleased with the change. Flexion is consistent and steady. :thumbup: The changes are gigantic for me as the leverarm of force applied to my body is now as minimal as possible. I am now finalizing the cushion for the vest back that will give longevity of wear on the rig.

Troy, I am now ready for the cool creative shots you want with the low rig in IMPOSSIBLE RACE, and Mark, you can count on a smooth stabilized camera for the last weekend shots in NETHERBORN. :thumbsup: YAY!:grin:

I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT! Thanks Gary!
 
it is chroma green. I don't think you can buy it from any store. I still some here but it is not spray. any nice bright green should work as long as it is completely consistent.
 
HYPERCAM UPDATE!!!!

We used the Hypercam for the Netherborn and Impossible Race shoots and it was a joy to use. :laugh: It reacted lightly and was sooooo easy to carry compared to the first version. I ran backwards full speed with it and it traveled so smooth that the shots look great. The vest is comfortable and the carrying capacity is extraordinary. I still had it on a low spring tension and was carrying an HVX with Brevis, a follow focus, filters and a box on the end. I added 2.5 lbs to the base of the sled even then. Someday I'll test it with the Red camera it was made to carry. I give it a good 8.5 out of 10. A few tweaks and it will be a 10. Waaaaaaaa Hoooooooooooo! :smile:

I delivered the "HyperGlide" static flying rig to Mark Aro's house. It was hilarious 'flying' on top of my '91 Subaru wagon 60 miles as it looked almost as big as the car. I got a lot of double takes and funny looks. It is chroma green too. Ready now for the last pick up shots of Netherborn next week.

Mark is almost done with the VFX of PUSH. Very cool! :thumbsup:

Glad you are feeling better dude! I think that I am mostly to blame. according to some very reliable sources, I was driving out of the mountains like a madman and you guys had a hard time keeping up... the funny thing is that I thought I was going slow. My wife drives them faster than I do!!!
 
just browsing the thread, grabs looks cool and i enjoy seeing all the BTS stuff. Keep it up, I look forward to watching this one :)

I appreciate you checking in. I am excited about this as it is the most ambitious project I have taken on yet (Shot completely on the RED ONE, with action martial arts and way more dialogue than I normally include) I am happy with the way it is turning out and am excited for Mark to finish the VFX, Mike to finsih the Sound, and Justin to get that good final footage for the score. Should be magnificent!:thumbsup:

I can vouch for that! Say, I was there on stabilized camera wasn't I?

Matt, what I really enjoy is the way you put all of the important elements of a great script into your short. And, you do it naturally every time. I am biased, but you are a tremendous storyteller. Nice work on this one. I can't wait to see the final production.

New Hyperactive Studios Fabrication News:

With the success of the wonderful HYPERCAM camera stabilizer, the HYPER-FLY flying rig, the HYPERGLIDE static flying rig; I am starting a new summer project:

I am beginning the development of the HYPERCRANE. I want to make a universally useful crane for the studio. I want it to be modular, so it will be able to be used in a room, and also be able to rise between 12 to possibly 18 feet up. I want it to have dual axis movement of the camera on the end; both horizontal and vertical movement. I want it to have camera movement run smoothly and electronically with AC power. I am going to use two or three single tooth worm gear AC stepper motors that will be able to be actuated by two joysticks or a joystick and a steering wheel. I want hi res monitor mounted at the control point. I want it to have its own dolly set and and heavy duty stand and be able to dolly straight or around a curved arc. I want it to be able to have the camera locked parallel, on a specified angle, and also free to rotate in two dimensions while the rig rises or lowers. I want it to be able to be mounted in a moving truck or trailer bed if needed. I have brainstormed it out and will begin blueprints today. I already have all of the parts except for needing some more light steel tubing. I am hoping to build the whole rig for less than $100. YAY! I love frabricating! :engel017::thumbsup:
 
I guarantee it will cost more than $100, but for help planning I suggest homebuiltstabilizers.com I have tons of research on these puppies, and have built two of my own. If you want some help, or suggestions, let me know! By the way, electric controls are good, but manual is way better if you can get good gearing work done. Electric tends to be noisy, and expensive for the motors. If you do go with electric, you're looking at spending $2000 on just the motors if you want them to be silent.
