Wow, it’s been a while since I posted on here. I’ve almost lost all enthusiasm for blogging, but I thought i’d try and slowly get back into the swing of things. What better time than now, after having just completed an interview with Graham Wing, founder and editor of the Access Niagara blog. The interview was great and we had the opportunity to shoot it in the underground killer whale viewing tank at Marineland. Check out two stills below:
For those interested, the only lighting used was a 3 bulb cool light. Luckily the tank provided a nice blue side light. (although possibly covering more of the face than necessary) Either way, the footage turned out amazing and i’m happy to have my second interview in the bag. Although I will admit that the overall uncertainty of this project is both exciting and a tad stressful.

Wow these images look good (the darkness in his face will play if you shot some CU Morris style). In the first image it looks like the head of the whale is coming out of the glass it’s kind of got a cool 3D quality this was a real find of a location. Footage like this should ease your mind somewhat.

Thanks Ian. I did in fact get some close ups, and they turned out pretty great. Hopefully everything else will start to fall into place.

You know it. What’s the word on the tightrope act?

That’s the part that is still ‘up in the air’ so to speak.
There was an interview scheduled at one point, but was missed due to some sort of miscommunication. I’m working on hopefully getting things on track.

Cool. How’s the HDVX treating you sofar? I’m thinking about getting one of my own. Does the p2 footage interface with Final Cut very well (I heard it has to translate it into a different format). Are you shooting your doc in 1080p?

I love the HVX. The P2 footage works perfectly with FCP, and it’s pretty easy to manage once you get the hang of it. I was expecting massive troubleshooting upon my first use, but it was very simple. And the best part of it all; it’s inspired me to start new projects!
p.s. I’m shooting in 720p

I know what you mean about inspiration. The ease of just shooting and then dumping the footage and going straight into meaningful (not syncing sound and making independent clips and all that)post production is great.
