Behind The Scenes: Cinesol Ad

Below are two behind the scenes videos from Orange’s most recent project: a non-profit public service announcement for the CineSol Film Festival. The first video shows us working on a Vietnam War action sequence, and the second video is the horror sequence.

Orange Media is using the new Panasonic AG-HPX300 recording on 16GB E-series P2 cards with the AVC-Intra 100 codec at 24PN. Lighting is two Arri babies and a vintage Mole junior on a regular gas generator. All the gear worked flawlessly and I am very, very pleased with the HPX300. The location shown in the videos was a good 200 feet from where we could bring our trucks so we had to haul our gear the rest of the way. We arrived at 4pm and left at 3am. I also did all the zombie makeup. All the footage on the BTS videos above was shot with my little Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS.
