Suspect

Another project I worked on with Zac Lennon acting as DOP.

This one was pretty interesting with regard to the shoot and edit. Never before have I seen a project that went so amazingly pear shaped. Everything we tried to do just went wrong - effects wouldn't work, people were busy, equipment was unavailable, locations were ill-suited or unavailable, weather attacked us, the whole deal. Finally, the day before the delivery date, we spent 11 hours virtually shooting and cutting the entire thing.

The concept of the piece being the opening credit sequence of a gritty detective show, with a bit of a film noir sort of feel. Zac wanted the credits to all appear as a 'part' of the crime scene (one that wasn't shot was a toe-tag on a corpse in a mortuary).

The whole piece was shot in HDV720p25 on a JVC GY-HD111E, with local light or a single workshop light for our lighting. Some of it is excessively dark, and it could have done with a grade and all that, but when you're doing the whole thing in 11 hours, some things just can't be helped!

i think its pritty impressive, i love the establishing shot at 0:24 and also the final title scene at 0:45.

unlucky about the weather and that being against you lol, sometimes that stuff can't be helped. Image what it would have looked like if it had all gone to plan
