The footage from the Easter weekend in Marlborough should come back from the lab tomorrow! Right now I have some production stills to share. These were taken by my good friend Devan Brancard, who was also a Producer and Dolly Grip for the weekend.

We all squished into my Honda Accord for a post-shoot crew photo.

This past week has been on the busiest of recent memory.  Along with growing work at my internship, and end of the semester projects, I worked hard at coordinating a multi-camera shoot in Marlborough on Easter Sunday.   I’m back in Boston after waking up at 5:30 a.m. to shoot this morning and my body/mind is very tired.  But I wanted to take the time to thank everyone who made this weekend possible for me.  To Pastor Faulhaber and the members of the Marlborough Congregational Church, thank you for allowing a 16mm film camera and doorway dolly into your Easter service.   Also, I wouldn’t have the dolly if it weren’t for the help of Jon Minard of Hebron.

To my friends Amy Nocton and Jason Courtmanche, thank you for letting me stay with you, and thank you for also welcoming Jackson Adams into your home.  To Devan Brancard and Tucker Ives, thanks for helping with yet again, another one of my out of the ordinary film shoots. 

I’m too tired right now to think of anything else to say besides the shoot went well.  I made a little video the night before Easter that documents the trip down to Connecticut.

I’ll post production stills in the next few days. Now I have to write a paper about Be Kind Rewind…

Well it’s a rainy friday here in Boston.  You know, the usual April showers.  I spent most of the afternoon putting together the winter teaser trailer and working with my roommate Greg on font and media design.  I got the footage that I shot over President’s Day weekend back from the lab and it looks really good.  It’s a simple, one-light transfer so the quality isn’t as good as it could be, but for the sake of previewing it I’m happy with how it came out.  It feels good to know that pretty much everything was properly exposed and dust/light leak free.

This 3-minute preview shows some of the stuff I show around Blish Park in Marlborough plus VHS home movie footage that my parents sent me a while ago.  The footage is from 1989 and shows my father pulling my sister and I on a sled while he skates around Lake Terramuggus.  The music is a song called “Taken” by a wonderful artist named Eluvium.

This is probably the longest of the teasers that I’m going to make.  I wanted to include a lot of the footage because honestly, I wanted to show my parents.
