Ghosting.

If you did not know, a few weeks ago I was in a production as the 2nd AC to the first ever 35mm production VCU has had. And if you remembered, I already wrote about this here.

Anyways, this was apart of an impromptu behind the scenes documentary type thing I did when shooting The Persistence of Everything. I shot it all using my D90 with a 50mm and 10.5mm Nikon primes. And when I wasn't behind the camera, either Caleb, Danny, Ian, Forrest, or Gerry was filming.

Feel free to watch it in HD here.

Persistence of Everything.

So for the past two weeks I have been busy working on production with VCU Cinema's Persistence of Everything as the 2nd AC. Written and directed by Michael Bryant after receiving a research grant, we started production on Saturday at 5:15AM and wrapped on Tuesday at around 4:30PM. Aside from having our teacher Rob Tregenza there, we also had LA cinematographer, Andrew Gianetta come out and help us. Andrew was Rob's former student and has worked on many films. Charlie Harris also joined us helping with the crane and ATV shots. HE's worked on films such as Dumb and Dumber and Final Destination 3D.

Set in 90s Bosnia, The Persistence of Everything is a Post Modern film about a boy who is able to see into the afterlife. Shot with an Arriflex BL3 30mm camera, this has been VCU's biggest production to date. It was a great experience for everyone involved and taught us more than a classroom ever could. For four long days, we all felt what it's like to really be filmmakers.
