Although shooting (aka ‘Principle Photography’) actually begin tomorrow (2/2/9), I was working most of last week. There were camera tests Monday & Tuesday that we took part in to be sure the work flow of sound & camera were all worked out. Monday we shot some explosions that were incredibly loud and huge. Perfect time to show off the benefits of recording sound to tape (a Nagra IV-S. Tape saturation sure beats digital clipping. Tuesday was a 5 hour marathon shooting a printing press (zzzzzzz…). Woop-de-do.
Anyhoo, the next couple days were spent wrangling gear together and getting prepped. Total new experience for me, having time before we begin shooting. A great start. I’ll try to keep the blog coming although I’m not completely sure how many pix I will be able to take (can you say nondisclosure agreement?). More soon folks.
