This morning Tys and I filmed a bunch of footage for our entry in the UTAS ad competition.
After about 4 hours sleep I awoke to Tys calling my phone. Getting up before 8am is always a chore and it doesn't help when it's below 10 degrees. We headed to the eastern shore to pick up his friend Tahlia who was our actor for the project. I had a good idea where I wanted to film. Initially we thought it'd be troublesome to get a cafe or restaurant to agree to us filming there without paying them a considerable amount of money. especially when we rocked up with takeaway coffees bought from different cafe. However, Chrome Cafe in North Hobart loved it. The dude even offered to move things out of the way for us. I love people like that. Gives me a little more confidence that society isn't completely fucked.
We were all done and back home by 10:30am. Quite happy with that. It all came out pretty nicely and i'll edit it out with Tys next week.
Before midday me and a bunch of BMX mates headed out to the DEC to shoot a photo of Daniel and film a final clip for the video before I send it off for replication on Monday *knock on wood*. The clip was a 360 down the 15 stair set out the front of the Derwent Entertainment Centre. You can see the stairset in the photo below. Pretty fucking nuts. Second attempt blew out his back wheel completely, as displayed also in the photo. This was a bit of a downer on things but luckily Uber Ben (who's name is actually Ben Lee, and who also bares a striking resemblance to the singer/songwriter), was willing to lend Daniel his bike. Luckily for him, Daniel slammed the three out nicely on the third attempt. Ben Lee also had swine flu a few weeks ago. He told everyone not to catch his disease. Fuck i'm hilarious.
Anyway because Daniel had three attempts at the three it also gave me a chance to shoot a photo at 10.5mm fisheye and also with the 50mm. Both came out really nicely. Hopefully you'll see one of the shots soon in a mag of some description!
That's all for today!
Peace out.
