Pre-production.

Man, I'm beat. It was a jam-packed weekend of pre-production for the anthology movie. Trap and I scouted a location Friday night, and Chuck and I (and Kelly Marshall and John) held auditions on Saturday.


On Sunday, Trap and I fine-tuned the awesome dolly he built. I also played a show with one band on Saturday night and had rehearsal with another on Sunday, but I guess that's neither here nor there.

Here's a little camera dolly test footage, via Vimeo. First shot features Trap as star and dolly grip, me riding the dolly and keeping an eye on the camera. Second shot features Trap as star, me as dolly grip, camera riding with no operator.

UPDATE: Embedded version of dolly test footage...

And before anyone asks. Yes! That was a d@mn good piece of gum. You all wish you had a piece you could chew like that. :-b

Thanks, Garrison.

Andrew: I keep telling Trap he should start building more dollies and selling them. I think he could make a nice profit and still provide customers with a good dolly at a ridiculously good price.

It's obviously a pretty smoove dolly. If he could make a geared head to go with it would be even better! ;-)

Chance Shirley said...

I'm sure Trap could make a geared head. However, I don't know if he could make an inexepensive geared head!

Does that make Trap the Dolly Lama? Nice indoor shuffleboard deck.
