Rad FX motion logo for Dirt Nap.

Just so you can see - wanted to do a simple motion logo for the opening of Dirt Nap.

New Work and Old Friends

Ok, I completed shooting even more footage for Dirt Nap. A little 'Steel Table' scene will be sneaking into the film. After all, what good is a kitchen scene without a stainless steel table. It was quick but not painless and I did run into two old friends that I had not seen in a while. They both informed me that if I did not at least give them an honorable mention that they would drag me through the mud so here they both are, enjoy.

And the beat goes on, the beat goes on ...

Two more hours of footage in the can. How should I say "Very Different" being in a Food Stop shooting the soda machine scene, ice and the cashier greeting Mike as he enters the store. You see I was there shooting this stuff from 11-1PM. Only five people walked in and I had the complete run of the store. For anyone trying their hand with lights or working under fluorescent lights and trying to light a person so they don't look like Undead, I came up with an easy memory jolt for myself. Two huge lights with diffusers at four feet, four huge lights at eight feet and sixteen lights at thirty two feet. Oh, and when you are not a coffee drinker like me and have to opportunity to drink free cappuccino while on set at mid-night, DON'T DO IT!
I couldn't get to sleep till after three a.m. and now I feel like an old shoe. However, the more devious side of myself came out when one lady walked in and asked what we where filming and I replied, "Shooting an episode of Cheaters, are you interested?" To which she replied, "No" and walked out rather quickly. Being bad feels so good.
