i shot a HD indie feature in 10 days with these people!

TROMD cinematographers blog summary:

Jake Hull and I (with the help of many talented young filmmakers) just shot a feature (70-80min runtime) in 10 straight days. Done. Maybe some mild ADR to make it xtra professional at no extra cost.... WE DID IT! Editing starts tomorrow!

But here are some of my experiences:

This is a quick summary of shooting and lighting "THE REALITY OF MY DEMISE"... by Rhett McClure

WORKING:
Kalyway 10.5.2 Vanilla Install, networking, sound, IDE drives, etc.
Video card with quartz extreme and core image.
photobooth! eyecandy! Takes video too! With the fun chroma keys you out with a plain colored background!
VMWARE FUSION: xp runs pretty okay. Gonna order 4 gig more RAM to make it sing though.
EyeTV: Can record HD off my homemade antenna while encoding H264 ipod version of another HD show. Remote works like Front Row.
Itunes gets like 88 fps.
Tried some game demos. Kinda slow.
Bluetooth is still wacky whenever the compy goes to sleep. Otherwise it rocks.

From 2/20/2008. I shot video for LEWMOON for the first time. This is the documentary I'm editing about the life of Superior screenwriter and UCLA professor Lew Hunter.

I am editing a fiercely independent documentary called "Once In A Lew Moon". About the life of Superior, Nebraska's own Lew Hunter. Professor at UCLA Screenwriting. Native Nebraskan.

installation video prepared for 2005 exhibit by Dusty Noha and Rhett McClure plus Nathan Chandler. "A FOREST WALK IN MY MIND". slow motion ice breaking. a quiet walk in the nebraska forest on thanksgiving

I got roped into this on NO CAFFIENE!

This is what I know and/or will reveal at this point:

Demo Derby. Noir.

Tobacco Free Nebraska:

We shot this spot about a farmer (played by Denny LaDue) quitting chewing tobacco. I got recruited to scout, cast, and find lcoations. It was a lot of fun and it's on ALL THE TIME on multiple Nebraska TV stations lately.

A. In my parents kitchen (with laptop hooked up to dialup on PURPOSE!) and living room (calling the quitline)
B. In my parents living room (calling the quitline)
C. On my parents front steps with Hank the dog!

I want to post all of my Resume type videos here in H264 quicktime. (Professional stuff, not my DJ stuff).

BUT! Now you can STREAM them inside a tasty flash wrapper!
