Haven Falls Productions doing video for Schools


This past week, Haven Falls Motion Pictures out of Davis was in the studio shooting a video for the San Juan School District. Mark Holman produced with Chris Terry directing and Chris Robson as DP. Also assisting the actors was Casting Director and Acting Coach, Sally Forcier.
In the scene here, the microphones will be digitally removed in post /editing for the final picture.
Our "Horizonless White" stage (with the built-in cove... or "Hard Cyc") has not been getting as much use as our GreenScreen stage, so it was nice to see the great pictures Chris Robson was getting for this production.
-----------------------------------
"Doing Time" finished it's 3rd shooting day last week, with lots more to go for this full length feature directed by Joyce Glover and DP'd by me with our new Sony EX1 high definition camera.

"Doing Time" Second Day

Shooting has begun on "Doing Time" as you can see at the right. Behind me are Boom Operator Swayne Cates and Production Assistant James Thornton. This is actually the 2nd day of shooting and it was 102 degrees by the time we wrapped for the day at 2pm. Of course we chose the hottest day ever (record breaker) in May to shoot a scene that is supposed to me in December! Things are going great with a great crew, superb cast, super preperation... and Joyce Glover (Writer-Producer-Director) is really power schmoozing. She's finding support for this project all over the halls of power... and people finding further funding for us. It really helps being on a shoestring to begin with...any infusion of funds seems like a windfall. But Joyce has a great script that may be opening doors because it seems to be coming at the right time in the right places... Timing is everything!

On another note: I've changed the blog perameters to allow anyone to post a comment. Before you had to be a registered user, but that wasn't made clear... so be nice and you can comment!
