A Move toward a new genre

Our film turned out well, with the cinematography. Well at least that is what we thought. It was still intermediate way of trying to capture that context with what they tried to show. I think that is the most challenging part during the shooting. Editing went well as there was a storyboard. All that I had to work on is the colour correction and a minor effects which I don’t really like to play on with. I still prefer the basic way to editing. However, due to the fact that it is for a play, I took my risk on adding them. Your thoughts?

You can find the trailer on the producer’s website.

Sneak Peek to New Project

On such a hectic time of the year, I took a project which is rather quite new in genre. Haven’t been doing sort of music video, further more, a music-like-trailer for an event coming soon (really really soon).

Shooting on set was fantastically brilliant. Even-though there were several errors happening, weather, techs and crews, but the shooting is completed. This trailer will be the first trailer that I’ll be fully using the Nikon D3s. Thankfully for the low-lighting brilliance out of D3s, I managed to shoot most of the scene with the available lights.

Metalogging the scenes have been done. The next stage to this process is post-production. I might have to include several effects as well to incorporate some scenes.

BAASO Istanbul Trip

February 11, 2013 by GlowJR | Leave a comment

Working all the time during the trip is the most unlikely situation that I’d put myself into. Nevertheless, location of the trip is one of the truly amazing sight that I have yet seen.

Istanbul, Turkey. It was a 5 days architectural trip. I did not had much equipments with me but mere tripod and most of the time, hand-held.

Unfortunately, it was a wee risky to be out during the evening, therefore, I had most of the shots during the day.
Shots taken were roughly 5 days on different period of the day. Editing took me a whole 2 days with 3 trial and error version.

First Production

It was a major challenge to our first collaborative production with another group. However, we managed to cooped with most of our task. Several things were on our side, the weather, the location, the food (and very tasty as well) and the crew. The main challenge to this production was shooting, editing and finishing everything all within 12 hours and that we managed to complete everything all within that limit.

Impressed with our own work, the other group loved it as well.
