  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Bourne was grainy

Lol, seriously, that shot sounds amazing, Paul. The only thing is, while you are falling through the air, it might be tough to keep the camera fixed on the stunt guy, in focus, etc. I guess you could just be wide and stopped down so you have lots of DOF.
 
If the whole thing was very measured it ought to be possible to map out the focus anyway. Then just have the focus puller working remotely.

So Brook do you think up mad ways to try to kill yourself in the name of "getting the shot" then! :)
 
haha, i'd love to be a fly on the wall when you explain this shot to the producers, focus puller and stunt guy... :)

I'd say, (In a BA Baracus kinda voice) "we can make the film look like every other or we can make it look real special". Then I'd say "I don't give a flying f**k if I break my legs and arms because I think it'd look damn cool". The stunt guy would look at me through slitted eyes and nod silently, then welcome me into the stunt guy ranks with the special handshake, the quivering focus puller would take one look at us and say "I'll do whatever you guy's want, you're the coolest", we'd both reply simultaneously "damn straight". The producers would say, "hmm I dunno guys, it's awfully risky." "I'm not sure we could cover you on that." "It'll take a month or two of paperwork." then we'd jump them, tie them up, run out and tell everyone we gonna go for it. Jump of the bridge, take the women and guzzle champagne till the sun rises. Aaaah yeah...
 
Haha, you're right about having to hog-tie the production office... LMAO.
 
You're nuts Paul, but very funny.

I like your style. Now about that rig...

Would this all go down at sunset with a gigantic sweeping technocrane shot? Because I really don't think there's any other way for something like that to be seen. :) :wink:
