Follow me on Twitter if you enjoy random pics from set. (Paladonic)

Obviously we are jibberwocking in this shot.
I like to have the F3 on sticks shooting a wide, the 7D shooting the messy handycam stuff and the Af getting Jibby with it.

The Af has this awesome face recognition autowhatnot thingie that makes it magic on a jib. No need for follow focus or that stuff, just keep the face you want in the cross hairs and that baby boogies all night (er.. day) long! It racks like a madman as well! Most awesome random discovery we have ever made! Auto rack attack!

heh heh...

See if you can spot the F3, Af100 and 7D in the Pic ;)

This is day 5 of the shoot, i'll try to give an update each day and explain each shot and set up.

Screen grabs will come a bit later when I have some time.

I never thought of taking a pic, but the shot before this one was a very clever tracking maneuver our DP saw somewhere and suggested here.

We had the 7D operator sit on a blanket and two robust young fellows pulled him backwards on the floor while the actors walked and delivered their lines.
It worked better than our rails/tracking solution because of the extremely low angle!
Friggin awesome!

P.S. - you 7D fellas need stand back for no-one, that Camera is really amazing!

Edit:All photies with my BB so have mercy ye pixel peepers!

Did a quick screen grab of the shot from the Jib.

I'll try and get the same scene from the 7D and the F3 in a day or two for the pixel peepers.

Having a lot of fun on this project!

The cool thing here is that the face recognition thingie picks up our lead from all the way back there!
It's really cool!

Oh yeah.. look closely to see if you can find the GoPro in the picture.

Some of our 'mean girls'.

I liked this shot, again with the Af100 on the Jib.

Gotta have some nasty hotties in your high school movie! Duh!

Did a letterbox test quick on this scene from today.
It's obviously ungraded and a bit dark cos it was shot at 50fps on the Af.
This pic is of our 'Mr popular' character and his pack of mean girls.
No high school movie would be complete without them!

My minions build this little viewing squatter camp for me wherever the unit moves.
Basic but cosy and no room for over shoulder ear breathers!
Win!

My totally awesome, set trained bulldog who goes everywhere with me.
Very sad at the moment, he has to sleep at a petsitter's house at night cos I'm at a hotel but at least we are together during the day.

Well...Done with principle photography.

Started a facebook group to get the buzz machine rolling while we busy ourselves with post and pick-ups.

Uploaded a silly little 30 second snip of some of the footage to give the kids something to yap about :)


I must say, although the F3 is an extremely impressive machine, I still really love the Panny!
I was shooting 3 or four sides while the crew was setting the Sony up on it's tracks each time.

Here's the linky to the Fb group.
