MAV: Filming the latest animatic.

Our story has been going through some serious changes in the wake of the Going Live project, which sapped up 80% of our time this semester. We spent the afternoon filming some pre-vis/animatic draft shots to create a quick edit.

It's been pretty handy, and allows us to see how the story flows and what changes we'd need to make.

MAV: DoPing for Rebecca.

Rebecca was nice enough to ask me to film her live action footage for her, which was great! It was a good opportunity for me to help out on another project, while getting in some hours using all the camera gear.

The film is a demonstration of the uses of motion capture technology to visualise sports injury. We were in the motion capture facility down at Ninewells Hospital filming her talented dancer, Amy, as she was being motion captured.

We hired out a GoPro as well, as I was keen to get some unique angles in there... as well as a DSLR to capture some timelapse photography. I think these kind of shots should help add some originality to the footage, can't wait to see how it turns out!

We captured a shitload of footage, which I'm sure she'll enjoy sorting through. I think we got some really great stuff, and it was made all that much easier to have Rebecca and Tom there to help with all the complicated movements.

MAV: Filming with John H!

The mere beginnings of my no doubt prosperous acting career.... working with John H in the green screen studio to film reference footage for his short film.

I have to admit, being dragged around by J.J and Tom while wearing giant condom outfits was a bit bizarre, but it was nice to lend a hand!
