IFC 08

Idaho Family Christmas 2008

This years shoot seemed to go better than last years.  At least on some points of it.  We used new cameras that made it easier for lighting.  Or at least it felt that way.  The HDV cameras didn't need as much light and they were easier to match.  Last year the cameras we used had to be "colored", which means that the brightness and contrast and all that had to be matched.  I think that is what took a long time, and where we saved time this year.  The camera ops this year could simply white balance and adjust the camera themselves instead of having one person manually do it in the control room.  As far as I know we are done filming.  There are small pickups and other shots that will be filmed later.  But the majority of the filming is done.  It was a lot of fun this year, a lot of Freshman, so it was a learning experience for a lot of people.
