Katrina Beatty, of Loud Whisper Productions is producing a short film. The movie was Director, Wes Miron’s baby. His script has been in the works for a couple of years now, but the right group of people only came together this past year. Things fell into place and the ball started rolling! Shaun’s had the opportunity to work on a movie set before, but I’d never had the chance. I didn’t really know what to expect. This particular movie is 8 minutes long and the majority of it was filmed in a hotel suite. A business suite was rented for the weekend at the Matrix Hotel and as beautiful and spacious as the suite was, the space was super tight. With all the lighting equipment, camera gear, actors and crew. We had to sneak around and sometimes hide behind furniture to make sure we were out of the shots. We took pictures of everything, and everyone. It was awesome!
I was very impressed with the crews stamina. Most of them working more than 15hr days, and continually giving 100%. The amount of creativity and persistance for excellence was incredible. On the one hand, some technical aspects of photography and video seem somewhat similar. In regards to lighting for a shot, and the difference in lenses. But on the other hand, it’s a whole new ball game. The consistency that’s needed to perfect each scene is ridiculous! My personality would definitely not be the best in this area. They definitely had a team of very dedicated people who all kept each other going through each scene.
Here is a collection of some of the stills we captured over the weekend. The First couple of days were shot in the Hotel suite, and the final day also included some time in a warehouse on the south side of Edmonton. Here they were able to create a rainy night.
