Production Notes #2

First of all I just want to say that I don't want to have a huge wedding when I get married lol... I know out of the blue but I was just watching spiderman 2 and freaking mary jane left her fiance at the alter for Peter.  Really? I mean who cares its a movie but she's a freaking whore for saying she'd marry someone else and then leaving what's-his-name at the alter for Peter, I'd be so embarrassed that's why I wanna go small on that day.

Enough ranting and raving, let's get to production notes haha :

So what I was thinking while walking around today taking pictures was 'what hasn't been done yet that could be done on a small scale with ease and a small crew?'  It doesn't even have to be all video.  I came up with an answer.

So maybe you've seen this vimeo video I posted on my facebook page titled "Fat City Reprise" If not here is the link.  Basically the director of photography took 45,000 photos and made a music video out of them.  I was thinking that could be fairly easy if you took in mind a few things.  

1. Don't think too big.

2. Simple shots, let the editing speak for itself.

3. Pans only? (Zooms could be a little difficult and if you zoom in to far then what's there to look at?)

Anywho, the idea that popped into my mind was to take roughly 5,000 images place them to a song that keeps a beat and tada something special.  What song did I think of?  Baba O'Riley by The Who.   Towards the end of the song it starts to speed up which is where I think the number of photos per second needs to increase.  (4:30? and even more around 4:55)

Raise your hand if you think it's doable or eyebrow if you think I'm crazy and I'm biting off more than I can chew for right now (maybe a summer project then?).

Trond

So I thought this morning I'd post a link to a photographer I know, he does wonderful stuff.  The only problem is he isn't in the states!  He lives in Norway where base-jumping is king. He base jumps himself.  His name is Trond.  Spell check wants his name to be spell "Trend" but he is far from a trend he is unique in his field, so without further introduction here is his website.
