Over the course of the weekend we managed to get both videos shot. This took 2 15 hour days as loads of stuff kept going wrong. We had trouble overloading the power which kept short circuiting the whole building which was a major pain. When we arrived at the studio we had to completely paint it white to keep everything clean and clinical so that there is a nice contrast between the back ground and the objects. We shot the lanterns video on the first day. I acted in this video as the guine pig test subject pedaling the bike all day in front of boiling lighting.
The original edit of the lantern video had a lot of talking, we shot it like a science experiment using a professor and a subject i.e me. This turned out to be not what the client wanted so we had to re shoot parts of it afterwards as they didn't want an talking.
This was a really intense few days full of hard work, it was a really enjoyable experience and gave me an insight into what making a film is like in some respects, there is allot to consider, the lighting needed to be perfect, the positioning needed to be accurate, there were many factors to consider. We ran into many problems over the weekend but we managed to battle through. I also did a pretty good job at acting in the videos which was a bit odd at first as being in front of a camera doesn't really do it for me, but b the end of the weekend I found it pretty fun.
