A Difficult Shot (Panasonic GH1 Raw footage)

[NewAgeDirector]

Great video keep up the good work.

Why not just shoot in the middle of the room with a cameraman, another guy turnin on and off the water when the actor pretends to, and let the actor splash from a bucket of water. I would have believed it.

@Joni0001984 uhhh, space concerns. you have to consider the depth of the room and where you put your camera. thats why shooting on a stage has its benefits of flying out walls. It obvious you have never shot professionally, or are making unnecessary compromises for ease. they did a good job here. That being said, i was expecting a more difficult shot...

Why was a shotgun mic being used indoors?

[KeeHartProductions]

Why would it matter? Obviously it sounded great.

[jasonmccausland]

@KeeHartProductions I thought it sounded like a bare room. zero warmth. but i guess you can fix that in post.

@jasonmccausland you want good sound. a shotgun mic can work fairly well in this situation to cut down on unwanted reverberations in a tiled room such as a bathroom. IN a real movie, you would have a hidden wireless on the guy and the shotgun. In an even bigger movie, you would shoot this MOS (minus optical sound) and put in diagetic in post. foley
