Entry #031
Day 031. Devil's Island B-roll from kevinAfraser on Vimeo.
Here is some video from yesterday's Devil's Island shoot. It could use a smooth-cam filter and some colour correction, but for now, here it is. Does it play choppy for you? I use the Polar Bear song for this cut, not because this shoot is related to that video, just because I really love the song.
Entry #030
I'm going to make it. Today is day #32 and the last scheduled day of this endeavor. I have two small shoots planed for later today and when they are completed, I've accomplished my goal. Thanks to everyone who followed the blog and kept me on track the whole way through. I've decided to extend the project for two more days to allow for a few left over shoots that did not fit within the allotted time frame. After that, I'll take a few days off and start getting around to processing all the footage I was not able to put up while shooting everyday.
Since I last posted I've done a few shoots including a RED-ONE/Canon 5D side by side comparison test with Christopher Ball CSC for Evan Kelly's upcoming feature film "Corridor". I also shot the sunrise over Devils Island for Courtney Kelsey & Zac Barkhouse's documentary about the island. (The video is exporting as I type). Last night I shot a dinner scene which marked the third collaboration of the month with Eric Duncan. It was a challenging exercise in lighting continuity. I'm looking forward to having a bit of downtime to look at the footage. This afternoon Jason Levangie and I start shooting a music video for Cousins which will also take place tomorrow. Tonight, I'll finally get a chance to try my super experimental exposure / lighting push the limits super fun test....
Although my days of consecutive shooting are nearing an end, I still owe you guys a bunch of stuff so stay tuned for footage that has not made it online yet, green screen test results and edits of the months highlights. Also, I have a few more camera tests planed, for example I've come to understand that lower ISO settings with the 5D do not necessarily equate to less noise. Test soon.
Thanks for helping me reach my goal, if you keep checking back there will be new content every few days at least for the next month or so. After that, who knows if I will have the discipline to continue a blog for the long term. Only time will tell.
