Camera Operator, November 17th 2005
Week's job : CAMERA OPERATOR AND LIGHTS SUPERVISOR
Date : November 17th 2005
Cast :

John, Lone Wolf - Camera Operators (2 cameras)
James - Lights, Assistant Director
Yosuke - Boom Operator
Lucas - Lights
The set was pretty basic but at the same time quite tricky to manipulate. We had a table and two chairs on the stage, surround by set walls, but they didn't form a squarish pattern as on mine. The walls sort of went off in a diagonal line, allowing more depth.
I saw a flaw in the set since the background we used was a black curtain. Since the curtain has uneven shapes, it was only obvious to use two stand-grips and attach the curtain, and then spread it to make it look like a wall.
I was the second camera operator as we had two cameras on the day. I had the tricky job to follow the character's movements, and not just do a static capture shot. With both pan and tilt tensions set at 2 out of 3, it was relatively easy.
We had to use fake blood towards the end, but the application of the prostetics, and make up actually took about 2 hours alone. It didn't work as we would have hoped, but thankfuly my camera captured the blood spilling out of the throat of the actor.
I will say this, I was proud of my job on that day even though I lost my temper with the people in the lab on the other side of the curtain. Working with two cameras was fun and fast.
We also played a lot with lights, using blocking and covering areas to create zones of light and zones of darkness. Below is a picture of Sebastian who had the unfortunate role of the actor who gets his throat cut. Even more below are links to videos i took on the set, there are 2 videos in the archive, enjoy!!
Peace out,
JC
