Paul Soler is a FANTASTIC criminal...
I managed to get another actor, Luke Brocklesby, to film using another camera in a CU format, enabling a wider range of footage, however I also varied my shots using my camera as well.
I managed to get a high angle shot done at one point because where we were, we backed in a pick up truck and I was stood on the back of the pick up with my tripod, shooting from up above everything...it was so much fun!
When we arrived at the location, we did some more preliminary scouting and managed to find somewhere better to film. Once we chose the location to film, we chose the window that we were going to place the loose window in and it was too small and unrealistic, so we then found an identical window and the manager of Coxhoe Timber Services, Roland Cubello, screwed the windows in place, making it look extremely realistic.
The white window is what Paul Soler smashed and this image shows you how it fits into the original window perfectly and how it looks realistic (it looks better during the filming, which you will find out!)
Paul also managed to fit into the criminal role extremely well. We only needed to shoot the different angles once as you immediately got into character and looked great...
His sunglasses worked particularly well as he was covered from the glass!
Well, I certainly couldn't have done the filming I did if it wasn't for the help of Roland Cubello, Paul Soler and Luke Brocklesby, so THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
Here is some footage to show you a rough idea of what happened...
Personally, I think it's absolutely brilliant! What do you think?
Feedback much appreciated...
Looks effective - it might be worth posting a risk-assessment, considering you're not using sugar glass (for example, making sure the actor has heavy gloves and eye protection, which you've clearly built into the character). As with the other scenes, it will be interesting to see how this cuts together. Again, the framing is good.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I have recently posted a Post-Production risk-assessment of this scene, including details of the glass etc.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for your feedback.
