sirius thoughts

The bud spot is finished (with a little ADR help). Spot is uploaded and awaiting judgement. I wasn’t totally clear if they were good with me posting it three ways to Sunday, so I posed the question before shot gunning it out.

Overall it turned out well and much like I expected. I briefly pursued another angle but it didn’t totally come together … first thought best thought. It’s nice to have a concept simple enough to be executed in six hours with some play on set. And the new Red / FCP / Color workflow is behaving for the most part. A little issue with handles, but it has never been perfect. Small projects like this are easy to muscle through.

Special shout out to all the participants … those on camera (Bob Brindley, Rowan Brooks, Erin Coker and Krysti Lozinski) and the awesome crew: Matt Boucher – sound, Jennevine Lee – hair/MU, Allison Cohen – wardrobe and of course Stacey pulling together the production side AND the design. Now she gets the studio back to keep working on the next phase of Lucifer’s Crewcut.

Stacey and I hammered together a quick spot idea to send off to a budweiser designated driver contest by poptent. Part of what made it quite easy was that it contained only three setups. In and out in six and a half hours. Plus, following the trail of if placing a light where the sound guy is … I dropped in a little kino through the open sun roof to help illuminate the inside of the car and flatten it out. This is certainly the beauty light spot. I’ll package it together and send it off to be judged. I’m mostly hoping it will resonate with more of the agency cats out there for projects they’re working on.

Here we have me working the angle while Matt Boucher mixes down the channels … he had to move his boom to the driver side window. Hey … maybe we should put a light in there?
