Kareems “Untitled” Shoot day 1

Production Stills from Dir. Kareem Atallahs and my shoot. Day one at the IRISH EXIT in Manhattan Dec. 2nd 2011. Shot on the Sony FS100 with Zeiss Lens Kit 28mm, 35mm, 50mm, and 85mm. Thanks to Nick Roberts for all these pictures, our PA and Production Still extraordinaire.

 Theres always got to be an AD over your shoulder while your trying to do complicated moves.

The worlds most terrible slider.

Here’s our location! 

Me telling people what they must do of course.

 Setting up lighting. 

 One of my favorite monitors but the HDMI cable was way too short and the Israeli arm was terrible. 

 An Extra just sitting in on the procedure.

 Director and I watching as Matt performs some sort of magic. 

 Taking in all the knowledge someone is giving to me.

David Welds Sanctuary around 12:30a. I couldn’t see a foot in front of me but this is the swamp with about 4 minutes of exposure.

TRIPOD DELIVERY

Finally got a great tripod. 504HD fluid head with bridging technology and aluminum sticks. Only burned a hole in my pocket for 760... :( ... but it was worth it. I’ll have this bad boy forever.. I hope.
