248 Pencils at work:

We’d rather have our pencils poised over a production schedule or an edit desk than tweaking and re-tweaking our website.

We’ll keep our recent work here, where it can be updated weekly with:

  • a brief description of the project
  • any special circumstances or challenges encountered
  • anything of possible interest regarding the shoot
  • a link to the video
Comments, encouraged.

What’s the view from your window..?

February 13, 2012

SHOT: December, 2011
POSTED TO WEBSITE: Feb, 2012

Setting up a second camera to capture the reverse angle as this window-cleaning technician pulled his van into the driveway and approached the residence, I thought, was a stroke of brilliance. Since we were shooting in early December, we went to great lengths to remove snow from the lawn and shrubbery and take down any Christmas decorations that might appear in the shot. Too bad we didn’t consider that our main shot would set up on the sidewalk, smack in the middle of the scene.

Reverse Angle - shot from inside the residence

Reverse Angle - the crew stealing the scene from the sidewalk

For the final edit of this 2:00 video, we masked-out the crew on the sidewalk and creatively cut between camera angles, so that only one person appeared in the scene.
