Film Projects Begin
I bought another DV camera
today. It is a 480P standard resolution camera. I was able to procure
it early because I’ve been booking actor headshot photography shoots
and modeling portfolio photography shoots a lot lately, and
was easily able to buy it. It has a true 16:9 aspect ratio mode, but no
24p. It shoots in 30p at DVD resolution. I wouldn’t shoot a feature
film with it (although it is possible), but it will be great for experimental
filmmaking and building my portfolio of short films. The portfolio of
short films, which will be featured on the Tampa Bay Film Online Film
Festival, will be critical for investor pitches so that we can obtain
funding for more ambitious feature films with the latest technology. At
any rate, I should be able to make this entry-level DV sing, just like
I was able to work the first digital camera for my photography business.
I’ll be testing it this weekend. I have a shoot with an actress
/ model on Monday who could possibly be one of the best actors in Tampa
Bay (who is unknown to Tampa filmmakers because she acts on the stage).
I’ll get with her and see if she can help me test it out. It’s
been a long week, dealing with my media contacts, working on service contracts
for my photography services company (the contracts that my clients signed
last week will probably be the last time that those versions are used).
I opened more youtube accounts today to use as channels/ video file storage.
I am also obtaining four more domain names shortly, and will be deploying
seven more web sites over the summer. This will be a good year for web
sites, especially with development of my second generation flash-enhanced
and database driven web site classes underway.
Ah, this weekend, I also have to do a lot more. I have to import my Dream
Nine Studios graphic sets into Premier and start working on stock title
sequences for films. I have to proof the latest copy of my Frontier 4
novel (which is almost done), work on the layout of my modeling book,
finish some service contracts, and get ready to redo some of my computers.
What I really need to do, next week, is to get my main C. A. Passinault
blog back online, because I’m starting to ramble on about things
that are not really relevant for my specialized blogs, such as this Tampa
Film Blog.
Back to indie films. My first experimental film shorts should start appearing
next month. Reverence should be filming at the end of summer, and will
be finished by fall. Films like Reverence are showcase shorts, so I can’t
tell you when I will release them and make them available. Reverence may
not be debuted until next fall! First, however, I need to put together
a boom, build a steadycam, and obtain some lights.
Ok. I need to go now. Oh, regarding the It
List on the last post, it’s about to be expanded
and adjusted. I’ve received a lot of feedback lately, and some changes
need to be made.
