Behind the scenes footage of short at DVinfo.net

Roger Shealy · May 11th, 2009, 08:11 PM

I had the opportunity to shoot behind the scenes footage of a short film with my XHA1 (of an EX3 doing the real work). It was a bitter pill for my A1 to have to document the next generation of camera, but the A1 acted in a professional manner and sent the .m2t to its tape drive like a good soldier.

Its amazing how much shooting several days for 14 hours a day can improve your skills and reflexes.

Several days for fourteen hours a day? How long was the short?

I tried watching but my connection is just to slow where I am. It looks like a lovely piece and an interesting set.

The short is only about 30 minutes, but I was always on the go ready for any interesting shots as they set up and so forth. I only shot 5 hours of film during the 2 days, but I was constantly ready to go and ready to hit the record button.

My guess is they will probably have 6 very full days of shooting to produce the complete movie (4 already behind them, 2 insert days to come).

Cheers for that. I always enjoy seeing how people knock this kind of thing together behind the scenes.

Reggie,

I don't have a definite answer, but I imagine in the next 2 months. I am not shooting or editing the actual short but putting together the behind the scenes footage.

Keep us posted Roger, it looks great!
