And now I digest everything...

  • Mood:

 

Coming back from a shoot you are tired and (hopefully) happy.

You unload all the heavy gear, fire up the computer and extract the precious elixir out of your camera. The download will take anywhere from 20 to 40 minutes, depending on how much footage I captured. This is, afterall, high definition, and eats up hard drive space and resources like crazy.

You go take a shower, thinking about all the good times you just had, hoping the shots are as good as you think.

Cause you never know until you WATCH them on your screen.

For the next few days I will be digesting everything. Looking at footage, assessing what I did well and what could have been better... Taping myself in the back or kicking myself in the.. Well.. You know...

I then capture screen grabs, which is extremely time consumming. Many hours will be spent that way, until my eyes fall out of their sockets.

Meanwhile I have to prepare for the NEXT shoot. Think about location, actors I need to call, props I need to have ready, blocking and camera moves.... Next thing you know, you are going back out there and filming another scene.

This week is no exception. I am very pleased with my night photoshoot. It yielded some very interesting, surreal kinda shots. Both the roadster and my lead man looked great. It helps when you are filming beautiful things. Yeah, it helps, but then you have to give them CHARACTER. And that, I am good at. cause I got da EYE ya know whada mean? .. Or so I am told. Once again I nailed the lighting despite the great darkness that surrounded us. And this is what I ended up with:
