48 Hours Film 2009 Production Photos

“48HOURS is officially NZ’s largest film competition! There is nothing quite like it.

It’s a cinematic bootcamp but instead of drill sergeant screaming obscenities at you, it’s the constant tick-tock of the countdown clock drilling into your mushy brain. 48HOURS is a serious challenge for both first time filmmakers through to experienced directors.

Simply put, filmmaking teams have just one weekend to make a short film.

Filmmakers don’t know what genre (thriller/romance etc) they will be shooting until the start of the competition. All creativity: writing, shooting, editing and adding a musical soundtrack, must occur within the 48 hour window beginning Friday evening at 7pm and ending Sunday at 7pm. To add to the mayhem, they must also include some random elements.” – 48hours Film Intro

Our team is called Ninjia Ginger Productions. We had a crew of 8 awesome people. The final movieĀ  has to be under 7mins, and it must be completed from scratch within a very strict time frame of 48 hours; Fri 7pm-Sun 7pm. And yes, we handed in just on time.

Here are some of our production shots for 48 Hours Film 2009.

It has been a while since my last blog entry. Finally I have upgraded our word press to 2.7.1.

Canon 5D Mark II Video Shoot Behind The Scenes Photos

Photo and video by Vincent Laforet

The new Canon 5D Mark II promo video is out. view the HD version REVERIE.

The picture looks amazing, camera low light performance is superb. I can not wait to get my 5D upgraded.

Here are some behind the scenes photos.

After Nikon’s D90 release, Canon is trying very hard to match customer exceptions, but I still think Nikon’s promo video (by Chase Javis) is way cooler. Anyway, 5D Mark II is a really good camera for both video and still photograpy for sure, I am just worry about the battery life, that’s all.
