First On Location Shoot a Success!











The first chance for me to really direct multiple actors on this film is complete. Everyone was well rehearsed and excited. It really felt like I was getting "heart & soul" here when I said "speed" meaning ACTION. Everyone had read the script & storyboards and knew what was expected. I am very happy about how fast we moved through shots and how well it all worked out. On the other hand I had a bad problem with one of the stereo cams failing to record ANYTHING I am remiss to say that the first 5 min of the video will be in 2D non stereoscopic video. On Sunday I did shoot successfully in stereo & I am going to edit the film in partial stereo and partial 2D non stereo video. An exciting thing did happen, when we had a smoke bomb burning on the back of a vehicle to simulate it burning oil and in poor mechanical condition the fire department showed up. Once they realized there was no fire and what we were all doing out there they just laughed and took off.
