Common Ground: Shot 1

So we are into the actual animation of our Jr. project now. Mike  did the animation and I worked with the camera rig. We have a pan up that we use a Kessler gear cineslider for. We have also used a focus shift and a roll up of the camera so it looks pretty spiffy. This is our first shot of the entire film  and it introduces the entire thing to the audience, so it has to be amazing. So far we have shot the A roll and will be shooting B roll tomorrow. We are using A and B roll since we also incorporated a fade in of the title, which is made of punch out letters from dafont. The author of this font is Tobias Sommer.

Anyways I'd like to add some more behind the scenes photos from the start of Spring semester until now.

So actually starting to shoot makes the whole project become so exciting once again. Can't wait to share the final product.
