Last weekend, a few film students from my school got to help some alumni shoot a short film with a RED One. I had read the script beforehand and wasn’t too impressed, but I was very enamored with how the DP and director handled the material and with how pretty the footage looked on the HD monitor while we were shooting. I got to be script supervisor (a job I always seem to get stuck with) and we spent two hot days shooting. You can read an article about the shoot on our local newspaper’s website and hopefully the film will be available to watch soon.
I had forgotten how time-consuming the filmmaking process is. We were shooting digital, so I’m sure its even more time-consuming working independently while shooting film. Two friends and I have a 16mm silent film in the works and I can’t wait to start shooting it.
