Project Twenty1 - Day 2 of Filming.

Before I write anything about ProjectTwenty1...have you seen IngloriousPlummers , the spoof based on Inglorious Basterds? It's wonderful. Some friends and people that I know from my film classes are the ones who created this, so please comment and tell them what you think.

My second post! This is a continuation of ProjectTwenty1. If you don't know what that is, please read the first post and also check out the links that I've posted.

Day 2 was fun. There wasn't a monsoon like there was when we filmed before, so it was a lot warmer in that basement. We've been running into some problems though. Our set might be cursed! 1. Ian's screen died on his camera, so we lost viewing capabilities of our shots. Chris and I drove to his house during a food run and grabbed a monitor and headphones for the boom-mic. We made Ian's day. :) 2. Jake, one of our actors fell and hurt himself the night after we first filmed. His foot is bandaged and he needs to use crutches to get around. 3. Another problem...no one knew that we had been filming in full screen the first day, so we had to re-shoot everything! It went a lot smoother than before though, which was nice.

Here are some photos and cell phone video.

This was just a shot of Keith being filmed at the time. Jake (the one sitting) wasn't in the shot.
I believe Jake messed up his line and Keith burst out laughing as the result. They were just practicing at the time, which is why flash was used with the camera. Dan and Meghan are in the background. Meghan has the boom-mic.I love this picture! Ian looks like he's staring up at a giant spider. Chris looks like he's about to beat him over the head with the boom-mic and hockey-stick.

This was taken with my cell phone. I wanted it more for the audio than anything else. Between takes, Jake grabbed a guitar and started improving a song about Keith, our Detective. We recorded a different version of it that we'll be using for ending credits.

Oh! For film students in need of a camera dolly! We used Erik's wheel chair. It's very smooth and far better than using a computer chair. If you have access to one, you should use it, especially if you can't afford your own dolly, or don't know how to make one.
