Week 3
On Friday, as Wind & Kenneth were still busy trying to finish the storyboard for our Thanksgiving film, Shawn & myself pack up the equipments, went over to the huge grip shop with Harry to pick up certain requirements he rented for the shoot. Such as a doorway dolley etc. & we packed everything into Harry's car. Haha.
It was quite funny though, stuffing everything in, & Harry says that this is not the full capacity his car can take yet! Haha
We also setup the green screen for Christmassing Shoot on Sunday. Yes we have a busy weekend ahead with 2 shoots. Haha.
Saturday came and I was the camera operator for the film. It was a little intimidating and nerve wrecking as the only camera experience I had was during live events, in which I handled a still camera for like minutes only. Still, the shoot went well and we managed to finished so many pre planned shots in one day. It was amazing, cause even though we knew we only had one day to shoot, in the back of our heads, everyone thought it was impossible to finish it. Only God.(:
The more difficult part of the shoot as a cam op for me was the shot where I was sitting in Harry's car and as he drives, I have to shoot the car that was passing by. I had to balance the weight of the camera and also ensure that my shots were stable enough as the car was moving.
Looking back, I definitely could had been more efficient and though to be honest, I'm not the best camera operator around, I'm so thankful that the crew was so nice and gracious with me.(:
My first time on a dolley operating the camera!
Sunday came, and this time round, I was the vision mixer for the service. It was a fairly easy job but I still need to familiarise myself with the other functions of the Tricaster.
We also had our first Christmassing shoot in our studio that Sunday.
I mainly was the person in charged of controlling the speed of the teleprompter.
Shoot took longer than expected as we needed to make sure the Tricaster could key out the green perfectly and lighting was good etc.
& don't worry, we are not overworked or anything. Haha. Monday came our off day and we rested before starting on our next project. Half of us worked on the Thanksgiving video(which is titled Thankfullness) and the other half of us worked on the Christmas video. I'm doing the graphics for the Christmas video.
&random snippets(will title it RS in future posts haha), we watched Gravity in 3D this week too!
The movie was sick. Haha. I really enjoyed it.
Okey done with Week3!(:
