so far this is just from 2 shoot days of about 10 hours each day. location is a warehouse in NJ. You went to high school with Mack?

 

[chriscurl]

Yep, I sure did. Been following his adventures in the big city. So how many total filming days and locations will the project encompass? How long will it be?

i wrote the script to tailor our location so we'll be at a single warehouse for the whole shoot. We've filmed 2 days and I have 2 more scheduled for 9/11 and 9/12, but what i have so far is looking so much better than i anticipated that I'm considering adding more shoot dates to expand the script slightly and ensure i get the coverage i really want.

Mack's an awesome dude- he really embraced the roll and researched and refined it much further than I'd have hoped anyone would have!

Here is a some more footage. We wrapped principle photography last weekend. In total, we've had 4 days of filming.

The running shot was very good, Top speed, steadicam? I looked at your breakdown and did not see you mention a steadicam. How was that achieved? Thanks

I just ran as fast as I could behind him with the wide angle lens on! the wide angle masks a lot of the shake that you'd normally get. i don't actually think you can sprint with a steadicam rig, can you? In any case, it was out of our budget!
