Fundraiser #5
For my regular readers I apologize for yet again plugging my next fundraiser, but I just want everyone to be aware that it's this Friday at 8pm at the 9th Street Independent Film Center. Which is at 145 9th Street in San Francisco. Tickets are $12 at the door or $10 if you buy in advance. We have six local comedians who will be providing the the nights entertainment and we're excited about the event. So please spread the word and we'll see you there!
Lenses Tested
Jon, my DP, and I went and tested lenses for the Canon 7D today and we've selected three we plan to rent for the three week principal photography shoot. All three are Canon lenses and here they are:
1. 50mm prime lens
2 24mm - 70mm zoom lens
3. 70mm - 200mm zoom lens
We tested all three for clarity, back focus, and breathing and all passed with flying colors. I'm really excited about having our "glass" selected because what truly makes the 7D worth shooting on is this ability to swap out lenses for various reasons such as mood, low light situations, and just plain better quality. These lenses are going to make a big difference in professional quality of the image versus the stock lens the 7D comes with and the stock lens the Sony EX-1 comes with (the EX-1 was our original camera of choice).
Wardrobe Planning Underway
My wardrobe manager and I met on Sunday to talk about all the various "costumes" needed for the feature. Ash has been a great asset in that he has creative ideas as to what each character should be wearing. Yet he also is able to listen to my preconceptions of wardrobe as well. My wife Sandra, has also been a great help in finding and suggesting various items for wardrobe as well. Lastly, Angelina, our lead actress has gone above and beyond expectations in helping to find important pieces to her characters wardrobe. Thanks to all three of you!
1st Official Production Meeting
Love, Concord's first official production meeting will be tomorrow. The producers and myself will be meeting to discuss the scheduling of the production shoot. As well as problem solving any remanding tasks that need completing. This will be first of many to come.
Well that's all for now folks, got a lot prepping to do for tomorrow and the fundraiser. Be sure to check in next week for highlights of the event.
Until next time....
Forward!
