New Office for “Lucky Dog”

This is the work office for Lucky Dog .. before we set it up. .. it’s the industrial meets NEW AGE COMPUTERS look brooklyn is so good at. I’m production Intern here on my days I don’t have work. 

Location Scouting in the Office of “Lucky Dog” feature

Office interning on the new film coming out starring Paul Rudd and Paul Giamatti called “Lucky Dogs” or "Up, Up". Me chillen during my lunch in the temporary office. I think I found the brownstone they’re going to use for the film and it took me a day while all the guys getting paid to search couldn’t find one for weeks. The perks are being able to sit in on the meetings with the director, dp, line producer, production designer, and a few other important people. Also just working on a film. I’ll probably be doing odd jobs for this for the next couple of months.

Office located on 11th street and broadway, right over by Union Square.

Super Prime - Music Video Shoot DAY 1 @ Pier 59

I worked as Dolly Grip/ AC on this production.  Every shot besides 4 pick up and 2 handhelds were on the dolly. It was intense but some of the most fun ever, moving the camera man to the beat of the music and seeing what the result is. I don’t have any pictures of me yet since I took all of these on my phone when I had some spare time, but I gave my email to the man who was making a documentary for the band and snapping shots the whole time. Also I’ll post the video on here when it’s done.

Shoot Date - 1/13/12

Directed by Christian Winters. Cinematography by John Taggart. Shot on the Red 1 with 3 Anamorphic Prime lenses, 30mm, 50mm, 85mm.

Where it’s located in Manhattan, if you have never been there. Its on the water and it’s amazing to be in the city and look outside the studio window and see a dock and water right in front of you.

Just a quick pic I took to show what kind of place it is inside.

 Our Studio! 6.

First one there, this was the set up. The ceiling opens up and we blasted day light from the roof and windows the entire shoot. The only lightings we used was a 1000w, and 12 hundred.

Our J.L. Fisher Dolly, my tool for the shoot.

The creatives, Setting up the first shot. It looks just like a plain wall but when the Red1 is involved and the color temperature gets put down to 4600, its a whole new image as you can kind of see in the monitor is you click on the picture.

Make up and hair section

 Red 1, with 3 Russian Anamorphic lens that are really hard to come by. We had a 30mm, 50mm, and 85mm. The lens were 300 to rent each day.

Setting up set.

Something like what the shot looks like but I’m taking pictures with my phone so it’s never going to look great. Keep in mind that it was 1pm with a minor snow flurry outside those windows.

More wardrobe section.
