PRODUCTION TECHNIQUE

Tuesday, May 20, 2008

This week’s shoot with the Gideons was typical in many regards.  On a sound stage in Nashville, the storyboards were placed in “video village"…

The talent found their marks…

The stylist made adjustments…

The dolly track was readied…

Camera settings were checked…

But here’s where things varied from what is typically done.  The camera was mounted on a tripod, not the dolly…

And a light was mounted on the dolly track…

For this shoot about the Gideons greeting card program (where each purchased card results in a testament being given), we circled the talent with the moving light, creating a dramatic transition element between actors…

Though the project has been delayed due to other productions, we look forward to making available our young filmmakers DVD soon, in which we’ll share many production techniques that will benefit emerging filmmakers.
