The next major shoot (i use major as a relative term, meaning some of them are little things that’ll take an hour) approaches. Really excited for this one. Dig: FOREST COMBAT.
i) forest is beautiful
ii) all my costumes are (nearly) in order, gonna rent some deactivated assault rifles once i sort insurance out (the only thing keeping me from scheduling right now), soldiers are going to be looking solid.
iii) long wire activated black powder smoke explosion cues the actors who start charging forward followed by this dope rail hanging camera thing my dad figured out… fog machines, etc. going to be a ton of fun if not a disaster.
if anyone reading this wants to be a sound person, holler at me. enthusiasm can substitute for experience if need be. same for anyone who wants to help with any aspect of it.
Speaking to a DOP and composer, both of whom I’m very excited about but won’t mention here because nothing’s official yet, waiting for eggs to hatch, etc
Also, going to buy one of these. Don’t own too much equipment save for grip I build myself, but this’ll let me use my shotgun mic to record proper audio onto my laptop (location sound, SFX, ADR, etc)
