… Combat shoot – day 1 …

I shot all day at the Columbia Gorge Model Railroad Club for the “Combat” video. The video is half live action and half stop motion. Today was “live action” day. We used my Canon HV-20 HD camera, and some non-brand wide angle lens. My make-shift steadycam held up and didn’t fall to pieces and break Jonah’s (cameraman) feet.

We shot without a script and went almost entirely off of one page on my clipboard and some vague notions of storyboard in my head. All live action … It was fun.
