It’s official! Rstudios’ next film will be in HD! My new camera is the Canon HV30 and I cannot believe how unbelievably unbelievable it is. I can do things like change shutter speeds and aperture, shoot in 25p cine mode and the like. It’s fantastic – it really is stunningly clear and emulates the feel of a real film camera. I have saved up a long time to buy this and now that it’s the summer it was the perfect time to buy – complete with 3 different lenses and the cool looking hood you can see in the picture. It’s great and I can’t believe I’ve finally got it. I just better get those good grades now. Then to buy a boom mike! What’s possibly even better is that I have a great new film I can shoot with it.
Yes, the next film is finally written and we’ll be shooting the last week of August. It’s currently untitled and obviously top secret but I’m thrilled it’s finally underway after a year of struggling writing and chuffed that I can confidently say “we.” I’ve got a brand new cast of 5 characters, including… wait for it, a girl! plus a friend who’s already started composing some great music and is going to do the sound on set. Everyone seems amazingly committed and excited to get going! It’s fair to say this is the most ambitious Rstudios film yet so I’ve been busy scheduling the scenes around everyone’s holidays, results day and the like, but hopefully it should all work out!
Scanning through this it seems like I may have overused the exclamation mark, either way I’m very excited about the next month and cannot wait to finally get shooting the film. I’m going to Spain tomorrow as well. I’ll update as things happen. Bye!
