Friday Vlog 13: Beyond The Still BTS
We've been really busy all week planning our entry for the Canon/Vimeo Beyond The Still contest and tonight we actually started production.
I actually think this is one of the most complex shoots we've done. We had to cast actors, find multiple locations, make and find a whole lot of props. We even got someone to compose music for us. I don't want to give away too much of what we're doing for the contest, but day two of production will be this Sunday, hopefully in a small diner. Then, we have two more days of shooting into next week, all on top of a job this weekend and possibly another job next week.
To everyone who's been asking, I am fully recovered from my cold now. I appreciate knowing that I'm loved 
Wish us luck that everything goes smoothly, we still haven't heard back from the owner of the diner and we've yet to secure a flatbed truck.
Nice! I’m very much interested to see how that skull turns out
By the way, that “music” sounds like the score of some movie I’ve seen. Is it?
Actually it’s from the very end of Carla Bruni’s album, Comme Si De Rien N’Était. Track is called Il Vecchio E Il Bambino.
This looks really cool, very excited for the end film! I would love to see a production journal from you guys, it’s just fun to see the process before the product. All the best!
I would be mad scared if I looked out my window and saw you sitting there with that crazy stare, mad creepy………….
What mic do you guys use? And can you please explain that in 60fps it’s not 1080i which is why you recommend 30fps? I hope I asked the question in a way you can understand…I’m VERY confused???! Thx!!!
We use a Sennheiser MKH-60.
The Canon 7D doesn’t allow you to record 60 fps at full 1080 resolution, so the next best thing is to use 30 fps, which it does allow. It’s simply a limitation of the camera. 60 fps equals very smooth slow motion, 30 fps is only slightly slow motion.
Ah, Sean, if I had a flatbed truck and was on the same continent, you’d be welcome to use it. Hope you get it all fixed up! Good luck! I’m still following TZ in the midst of the craziest and busiest year of my life: 2010.
Keep up the hard work guys! You rock
