Pictures from my film shoot on my website

Looks pretty cool.

I'm kinda interested in what you look like.

Are you shooting entirely in 16mm or in super 8 also?

If anyone's interested, I've posted some photos taken at my Black Forest trailer filmshoots.
(I'm not in any of them, but I'm not the most interesting one to look at, so that's OK!)
There is however, a good looking girl, and a guy getting his arm ripped off, which is always fun.

Go to:
http://www.blackforestentertainment.com
and click on "Productions in progress" and you'll see the link to the pictures.

I'm just finally getting around to getting my website with more useful and interesting stuff on it, so check back in a month or two, when I have lots of details of how I'm doing what I'm doing, more pictures, etc.
We shot in the coolest location last weekend:
There's a restaurant in Placerville California, called the Cozmic Cafe.
It's a mid-1800's era building, that they built on the front of a mine shaft after they ran out of gold to dig up.
They let us film inside the mine.
It's really tough lighting those small, claustrophobic areas, let me tell you!
My back is still sore from leaning over at odd angles, scraping against a stone all, while hand-holding a 20lb CP16R camera!!!

Interesting looking stills, Matt.

Some questions:

Are you going to put up a brief synopsis on the site or did I miss that altogether?
What camera are you using?
What stock?
Can I get Deborah's home #?

Howdy!
I'm "Mr. Humilty", so I don't have any pictures of me up there yet.
People kept asking me why, so I told someone to take some of my this weekend.
You can see what I look like, but I'm warning you, you won't be impressed!
Especially since I have all these pictures of Deborah!
Wait until I get some actual footage posted.
The river swim scene is going to be fantastic!

Anyway, I'm shooting it all on 16mm, with the exception of some Super 8 footage that I'm going to try to use for the background of the into titles, if it works out. (Kodachrome 40, shot on a Nizo 6080 modified to UltraS8).

I'm using a CP16R for dialog, and a Canon Scoopic M (for MOS stuff).
I had a CP belt go out on me this weekend, but I should have a belt in a couple days, so I'll be up and running again!.

Stocks I'm shooting:
About 65% on Fuji 64D (because I got an incredible deal, and I hate grain, but really, it's been a pain because it's SOOOO slow)

About 30% on Kodak 250D, which is working out great. (most of this is outdoors). This will probably end up being my favorite stock ever.

The rest on Kodak 320T, and a couple short ends I got of 500T, 500EXR and 200T.

This is just some quick, preliminary stuff I'm putting up on the site, because I don't have time yet, but I'll put all sorts of other info up hopefully before too long, and i'm putting up more pictures tonight or tomorrow, so bookmark the site if you want to.

Unfortunately, the lovely Deborah is married with 3 kids, but man, is she nice looking or what?
Even with blood all over her!

Cool. Sounds like fun.

Be strategic about using that 320T in a special scene or something... it's difficult to cut it with all those other stocks... it'll look really washed out next to the 250D.

Oh, no problem.
I'm only using the 320T in interiors, and the 250D for exteriors.
Really different looking locations, so it won't be a problem.

Hey Matt looks great - just came across it now - you should post this link on Andreas forum as well - good luck can't wait to see it evolve and follow it over your web site

Very professional looking site. I agree would love to see your synopsis . Is this a feature length film or something shorter? Northern California has a lot to offer visually.

Please keep us posted and good luck.
