Continuing on from a post a few weeks ago, here is the finished version of our one day shoot. We did end up submitting it to Tropfest, but didn't get in.
Still, after spending the year on large shoots with big crews and trucks of equipment, it was liberating and great to just go out and shoot something with just a camera and tripod (that didn't work). For a day's work, we are quite happy with this.
A few days ago myself and a couple of other fellow VCA students grabbed a camera, a pair of actors and headed down to Mornington Peninsula for a quick, 1 day shoot. Partly a Tropfest film and partly a simple exercise, the day was highly enjoyable though Melbourne proved to once again be hugely unpredictable with weather which left us slapping on sunscreen one minute and hiding under rain jackets the next.
Shooting with a DSLR and a handheld rig (550D courtesy of Luke Richardson) was great fun yet had a number of challenges (but more on that in a separate post). And some of the images we got (without giving too much away) are below.
