Soon I will be putting up some frame captures for this short I've been involved with. It is a 70's style short directed by Chris Carr and lensed by Chance Shirley. Ive been, you guessed it, lighting it when I can. This is being shot on Super 16mm.
It's refreshing to work with film again. The last time I did before this, save a little fun with Adam Wingard for the opening credits of Homesick, was back in 2000 during a short 16mm project I wrote and directed called "Might As Well". That project is still not finished and has a really intriging back story to it. That will be a grand series of posts for later when the project comes back to life - and it will - corpses always do in movieland.
During that, our DP Ned Boggin, showed me the ropes on lighting for film and 'gripology'. It was more detailed than what I got out of 16mm film school with Bolex's and Scoopics - we were shooting on an Arri SR2.
Anyway - all that to say - Golden Age is film. And there are some things I would like to touch on about lighting for film versus video and when I have time to load up the still captures I will point those things out. 'Til then...
I hope this blog can serve as a resource for ideas to other ambitious filmmakers and as a window to my experience for fellow collaborators. If you have a project that you would like me to be involved in I can be reached at (205) 441-4392.
