Jimmy Jib on “Timer”
Harris has been shooting this feature for a couple of weeks and wanted to use the Jib for the last shot of the movie. Last Sunday, we built the arm on the tracks of the “College of the Canyons”, in Santa Clarita. Here is a video of the shoot.

“Waking Dreams” Trailer
I just added the trailer of Waking Dreams (ex-Dreamland), which we shot almost 2 years ago in Texas. Jake Kerber was the DP and Nicolas Martin the 1st AC. I was glad to eventually see it! It was my first feature in the States… Good memories 🙂

That’s a wrap!
Yesterday was our last day of principal photography for “Deadgirl”, in Santa Clarita. We’ll shoot some B roll tomorrow and should have some pick-ups in a month or so. PS: This is Matt, the camera intern, very well equipped, isn’t he!

Me and the Dead Girl
It doesn’t look like it but she just finished killing and eating someone before we took this picture… That’s maybe why she’s smiling (yes, she is).

Back to the… Origin
For the exteriors of the High Shool of Deadgirl that we shot last week-end, we used the new Dalsa “Origin”, which has a 4K resolution. Its look, size weight are quite… unusual and make this camera not very friendly to use, especially when all the shots are handheld! We went back to the Viper with a big smile on our faces. PS: I hope you like my cowboy hat, pretty useful when it’s over 100F 🙂

“Deadgirl”
Deadgirl is a low budget feature from the producers of Hellraiser. We just finished shooting our first week, which went pretty well considering that we are among the first ones to use this very new configuration: The Thompson Viper with Digi-Primes and the Codex, a high-resolution digital media recording system, designed to capture moving images and sound from high-definition digital motion picture cameras. The footage is recorded live and raw on 2 diskpacks and backuped during the day to an external Ciprico harddrive, which is sent every evening to Dalsa for processing. You can visit their website here. We spent more of our time in the very dusty basement of Buena…

Car crash video
We spent two nights shooting downtown LA this car chase for the feature “Sharphooter”. Here is one of the shot, in the tunnel on 3rd St. It took such a long time to set up… I hate night shoots sometimes!
