GWSJ Camera Movement Test

Posted by – July 31, 2009

Here’s the Camera Movement test we did on Monday.  Shot by Josh, this demonstrates the skater dolly’s capacity on a flat table, plus the monopod-fake-steadicam that Josh built.  Sweetness all around.

Posted by – January 5, 2009

I’d bet that a number of you have seen Primer, but for those that haven’t, it’s a great example of a low-budget sci-fi feature that was shot for very little ($7000 and they shot FILM) over a short period of time with a tiny crew (most crew doubled as actors), but made a terrific, suspenseful mindbender of a film.  Great inspiration, I’d recommend renting it.
