Dang. Someone did the guitar hero idea I wanted to do! At least it's in stop motion, though.

Nice.

Yikes, how much ink did that take?

The lo-fi results — Dickerson says the aesthetic is akin to "sophomore friends ditching school and messing around with someone's dad's camera equipment in a garage" — are in rotation on Fuse and are a bigger hit on YouTube. We asked Dickerson about his P2 workflow, the rise of Final Cut, and the appeal of doing it all in camera.

Poor HVX. Nothing more than daddy's video camera. ;__;

And the most interesting parts (quoted:

What did you think of the P2 workflow?

I had enough cards to shoot all of the performance in Toronto, but then on the long shoot day with Adam and Tony and Jayma, we had to actually — and this is the part that freaked me out — you had a P2 card, and you downloaded it to a computer, and you erased the card and started over. That just freaked me out. I had to be the one to actually do it, because there was no way I could trust someone else to do it. Working with that format again, I’d hire someone to manage the media. That’s all they’d be doing. It’s such a different workflow from film. Being a film guy, I was like, “You’re kidding. We’ll wipe it out and start fresh?” But from a budgetary standpoint, it was cost-prohibitive to rent more cards. So we used each card twice, and each card got dumped to computer halfway through.

It’s a transformation a lot of filmmakers are going through.

This was cut on Final Cut, too. I’ve worked with Michael Cioni at Plaster City Post for years, and he’s always been an advocate of digital and I’ve always been an advocate of film. I’ve been Avid and he’s been Final Cut. He’s starting to win the battle. I used to really die on the Avid hill and the film hill, and here I am now, saying Final Cut is starting to kick Avid’s butt. This was a digital product, finished in Final Cut.

I’m always going to love film. It’s like your first love. But I’m getting more openminded about the realities of projects for which digital makes sense. The biggest issue has been depth of field, and as that gets solved and people start using 35mm lenses, it makes it all more interesting to me.

Velly nice. Glad I'm not the only one that thinks Avid is getting old in it's mechanisms.
