Special Thanks...
Sean Massey for hooking us up with his audio gear so our movie sounds like a real film :)
Sean Buck for hooking us up with some lighting and grip equipment.
B-Rice, Luis Sinibaldi and Adam Key for hooking it up with some other gear and props we needed. And to all our friends and family who put up with our crazy attitudes while we're focused on making a film. And a special thanks to my friend Matt whom spent a series of long nights crunching away in pro tools to bring all the final sound elements together to make the deadline.

And the entrance of another Bonafied Heavy Hitter. (actually a whole bunch of you guys)

Welcome Geoff. I was wondering if you were gonna make it in. Looking forward to the sheer awesomeness.
 
This is a pleasant surprise. Are you cutting it close or what?
I wish I had another two weeks for post but unfortunately, this was the soonest I could get the piece shot. One good thing though is that this one went through a good month of prep in regards to script treatment, story boarding and scouting, so there should be more creative liberty in post as opposed to 'fixing' it in post.

And I enjoy racing against tight deadlines. I like when it's 100% all the way to the line.
 
I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed working on this project.
The time Geoff and others spent in prepro saved us sooooooo much time.
It's also way easier to make nice images with nice locations.

I was very impressed with the GH1. We used the hot rod PL mount and put my lomo anamorphics on it. With the speed of the GH1 i was lighting interiors with a very small arri kit and still shooting at a 5.6 something I couldn't have done on this shoot with a red. The size and speed of the camera helped us move VERY fast.

There was also just a really good mood on set. You could tell that everyone felt like they were helping to make something.. special. Nobody complained once. Everyone was helpful. Can't wait for people to check this out.
 
The winner of QuestFest was shot on a GH1, so this should prove outstanding!
Looking forward to it...
 
Like Matty G said... the GH1 was pretty impressive. I'd played around with Kholi's GH1 when he first got one a while back and I thought it was decent, but I didn't get the chance to use it on actual shoot. After I saw some of the native black and white footage online, I started thinking this would be a fun, creative route for this project. We moved fairly quickly with a very limited crew thanks to small form factor and good low light qualities. The anamorphics were the clincher for me; that final piece to the visual style that I was going for.
