Day 11: Filming!!

As promised in the previous post, Day 11 is dedicated to BarCat Productions first film shoot!!!

RGBar and I have been working on a video project for Emerson College. To keep it brief, the project involves filming 14 interviews of current and past GMCA graduate students and we hope to do 1 per week for the next 2 1/2 months. The videos will be comprised of interviews, still images, stop motion, on scene filming, and voice-overs- I am sure this will vary depending on the person we are working with but that is the plan for now.

It has taken a very long time to actually get things moving as we had to jump through 39840942 hoops just to be able to check out some lighting and sound equipment from the school. Luckily, Emerson came through and we got what we needed!

So, after spending Day 10 working on lighting and planning, we actually began filming on Day 11! The day started with some scouting in the Prudential Building and along Newbury Street.

This was followed by the actual interview with SK. She was amazing!

It is very difficult to be in front of the camera. I don't care how confident you are, it takes some serious adjusting, but she handled it like a pro and it couldn't have gone better. We still have a lot more to shoot for her because the weather was not great for the outside scenes and we had a very limited amount of daylight to work with. But, it was a great start and exactly what we needed.

Now on to plan the next one....and the one after that and the one after that and the one after that.....I think we may have gotten in over our heads.

Until Tomorrow (but again really until later today),
Cat!
