Okay, so developing and scanning and posting film on a weekly basis proves difficult when you work, commute, freelance, and maintain a full-time class schedule. Who knew?
I'm producing for a film called Entropy. It's written and directed by Tyler Borbe. The story focuses on a coming of age story about two siblings in a dark, industrial world. It's been a labor of love from the cast and crew to bring this piece to fruition, and it's paying off. I'm super excited for Tyler and his piece to really come to life in postproduction.
While managing the set I also helped by recording a lot of the audio, and even did some of the hair/makeup.
During the in-between I ran around with film and captured a rather large handful of behind the scenes images.
CAMERA: Polaroid EE100
FILM: Fuji FP3000
Do you want to take behind the scenes photos in a dark industrial space without a flash? FP3000 film is fantastic! It was my first time shooting with my EE100, and I'm a big fan. It might take you a few shots to get used to the focus pull on it.
We had full access to a great warehouse in Pennsauken, NJ. We were able to drive the loading cars and vans into the warehouse and unload the gear. It was a 6000sq ft space, so lighting it was a lot of fun.
Sadie Hopkins, and Kelly Weston were on makeup that weekend.
We had an extensive amount and they really made everyone look amazing.

We had some hiccups with the following shoot. Murphy's law to the extreme definition I suppose you would call it. The major mishap we encountered was losing our ability to film on the rooftop location in center city, Philadelphia. We spent the better part of the week before the shoot scrambling for a new location. We ended up filming in the basement of River of Life Martial Arts & Wellness Center and Gold Mountain Forge, a place where they make katanas, and fighting swords/knives. It was a beautiful place and we were so thankful to utilize their location.

Sunday, we killed it. We wrapped the shoot location with what was predicted to be two days worth of filming in one day.

Having a hazer really helped add to the mood of the piece for that first weekend of filming.
We filmed a lot of the piece using the Black Magic Cinema Camera with the DJI Ronin.

Saturday there was a major snowstorm. Nearly all of the cast and crew showed up on location, we prepped the set, but had to cancel the shoot once the weather worsened and major highways began to close.

I'm in love with the Lady Grey 120 Film. It's great and you should try it out if you're looking for some nice Black/White film for your medium format camera. The elevator shot of Tyler directing Patrick and Daniel is probably my favorite from this shoot weekend.
Shooting script prep.
Art Department outdid themselves for this shoot! We also filmed on the Sony a7s with the Atomos Shogun 4K recorder.
Final Shoot - April 24th, 2015!
