Thank You video production

After the numerous times of changing my idea and the initial script, I finally settled down and decided on my final Thank You video concept.

As I mentioned before, my video is like a demonstration of a part of the three piece scheme.

The Storyboard:







The location I chose (the conservatoire) was perfect! Apart from the light that kept on changing every three minutes.
My actress Natalia came to see me at 1pm that way we had 2 hours of rehearsing before the DOP came to shoot. I'd like to thank Tom Pykett again, he basically saved my project. Tom joined our course this year, came from Confetti Studios. I had only heard about the technical abilities people at that school have. Yesterday I had a chance to see it with my own eyes. I'd never worked with somebody that knows so much about film production before, was amazing. He understood my vision right away and made it work. Thank you Tom!!!








I looked at the footage on Premiere today, looks good! It's one minute long tracking shot, all I am going to do is colour grading and synchronising the sound because we recorded it on Tom's camera (my Rebel doesn't have a whole lot of audio options).










Still working on the paperwork, the plan is to get EVERYTHING done tomorrow!

This short video taught me that you just can't be a 'one man band' when it comes to shooting. I had a hard time finding help (everybody I knew were mega busy that wednesday). To be honest, that was the first time I directed something, now I feel I was a little bit too picky and fussy about some shots, but that happens when you stand aside and watch the whole thing instead of staring at the camera screen. You start seeing tiny flaws and want to fix them right away. It was fun and great experience no matter what.
