Majors, ahoy!

I have recently been very busy, working on a few 3rd years' Major projects, including Ian Roe's Bounce and Anna Lucia Sadler's as yet unnamed film.  I've really enjoyed the experiences, as a camera assistant to Ian, and an actor and runner on Anna's project.  I feel that I've learned a lot about the production process, and especially scheduling for my minor and major projects next year.  On Ian's shoot I got the opportunity to experience the HVX200 for the first time, and it was certainly an interesting experience. It's got all sorts of new and exciting features, such as HD capability (via a P2 card or Fire-store device) and slow motion, as well as a feature which allows you to alter the colour temperature whilst you're filming, allowing for on-set grading! I'm sold. It seems that finding a good, well organised producer/1st AD next year will be paramount to a successful and smooth shoot.
