Rezfactor--"Runway" [working title] Production Notes Thread

Don't want to disappoint you guys--but they're just stills of the much-talked about "airplane" shot. No video, sorry! No scintillating, more "revealing" shots of the girl or anything like that. Didn't mean to lead you all on. I'm at work now, I'll post them later tonight.

comon' now... that's a low blow. (that only happens in eastern KY). Aaron, you seem to have a lot of rage built up in your comments with in this fest. I guess i never thought you were like that and I'm starting to see the darker side of you as it is really coming out of you. Makes me think... "I would have really liked to of seen your horror film."

Still, I enjoyed the parallel dimension theme going on here. One person is erased and so are her doubles. Why are there doubles? Its enjoyable enough to watch, that I don't find myself weighed down by needing to know.

Wow! Thanks for the high compliments! That's funny what you mentioned about the parallel dimension thing . . . I never thought about that! The intended story (although I like that you made up your own story!) is much simpler and more down-to-earth than that!

09 OCTOBER UPDATE 1.0: AIRPLANE INTERIOR FRAME GRABS!

These are frame grabs from a Sony DSR450 (widescreen DVCAM shot at 24PA, standard definition) of the "starboard" side of the aircraft. A manual white balance was taken at about 5600K, and color corrected, "blue-ish," as captioned.

This is a another frame grab from a Boeing 737-700 overhead passenger compartment panel, complete with the illuminated seat belt sign. The back of the camera is shoved as deep into the seatback as I could get it, so that I could maintain my MOD (minimum object distance) from the overhead panel, using only my standard 20:1 Fujinon lens. This shot is real noisy because I think I accidentally hit the gain switch while trying to get this shot.

This is the entire "lighting/grip kit" that I used on RUNWAY. The "daylight" flourescents are from Home Depot, but I don't think they carry this particular model anymore--I bought these about five years ago. Anyway, they matched real daylight in my daylight interior set-up pretty darned well. The "daylight" desk lamp is from Office Depot. The apple box is from FilmTools in Burbank.

09 OCTOBER UPDATE 1.6: ANOTHER PLANE INTERIOR

737.jpg

Sony DSR450 frame grab; CC: R75 G75 B200

Here's another reverse-angle shot of the in-flight Boeing 737-700, heavily color corrected, with a simple lens flare effect added in Adobe Premiere Pro. The camera was simply resting on the armrest of the chair I was sitting in.

I am impressed you lit it with such small lights.

That also impressed me. It shows you don't need a truckload of lights (necessarily)... Achieving naturalism. I think you'll get high marks in the light category.

Thanks for the BTS. It reminds me of the axiom, it's the shooter and not the gear.

:beer:
 
Rez... this stuff is so damn inspirational... Keep em coming!
Heck, before these small desk lights, i thought the China Ball was the end all be b'all.

I'm still wondering how the hell you got to shoot in that plane!

great tips.
 
Rez,
I thoroughly enjoyed your film. That steadicam shot was the **** man! You've got some skills man. I can't imagine what you'd cook up on a real budget.
 
Ahhh, ya got me, D&G! I was goin' for one more day to tease you guys . . .

Sorry dude :p

I guess I'm just too quick on the quote button.

Thought I'd bump this, since it is a great production design tip. You could apply it to so many locations (depending on shot selection)...

:beer:

(next time i'll wait to see if it's a tease) :)
