So I started shooting my first short film last night.
Unfortunately, our camera seriously sucks. It wouldn’t record for some reason that we couldn’t figure out, and then the battery died well before it should have. So I have do shoot it on a Hi-8 camera instead of mini dv, which really kinda sucks. Anyway, the other trick was lighting because the place I was doing it there were no power outlets or anything, so it had to be lit by car headlights.
I think it might have turned out ok, but I’m not totally sure. Unfortunately I was so busy trying to actually get the shot that I wasn’t really able to actually see the shot as it was taken.
Anyway, once it is done I should be able to get it online. Supposed to be done by Thursday, so… yeah. Here’s hoping 😉
I think my second 2 projects will probably turn out better. I will be shooting them on Super 8 instead of video. I will be lighting them with real lights. I will remember that if I need any shots at night that I need to make sure to rent a generator. Ok so that’s about it.
