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?).

Breaking back / Production notes 1

My back has been harassing me non-stop for the past few days.  I'm not sure if its the way I'm sleeping (the bed is pretty hard)....(that's what she said)... or if it's the seven hours a week I have to sit in the most uncomfortable theatre chairs in the world.  Maybe it's a combination of the two, I just don't know.  I just hope it goes away soon.

But anywho, there are production notes I'd like to share.  I have a few doable ideas that have come into my mind when I've been in random places.  I will share them as the ideas start to become a little more solidified and well rounded.  Basically, I just have the ideas which is good to start with but I can't pick up a camera and start shooting yet.  More to come later.
