Work Work Work

11:30pm -
The weekend has little or no meaning at the festival. Days seem to blend together into a mix of movies, shooting, editing, design, promotion, parties and of course bit of the ole' mentor downhill.

As the hour grows late here, all teams have finished their teaser trailers for the upcoming documentaries and you can view them here:

But I digress, because before Sunday comes Saturday, here's what you may have missed....

S-days
:
TEAM EIGHT
Attended a seminar and learn more about the workflow of film post production and the various options that people have in terms of which medium (film or digital and which type of film or digital format would be best) should be used based on the type of filming people are doing. Never really thought about the g-forces involved when one bungee jumps and what effect that would have a digital camera that uses dv tape. Following that we had the honor of attending the independent film “Weather Girl” which was actually a pretty good flick. Very funny with a very good cast whose chemistry was undeniable. At this point the only thing that remained was going out and gathering some footage of our subject for our film. The footage that we gathered was, well, quite interesting to say the least. It ranged from lost guitars and the drama they cause all the way to singing cab rides. Good times.



TEAM THREE
On the search for Dirty Dan Matt and we headed to the Canyon slopes for some B-roll of the Rockies. We managed a free ride on the Gondola to the top and got some great footage. Earlier we thought about going for a hot air balloon ride, but instead stuck Matt's camera out the window of the Gondola and got some areal views while riding down the mountain.

Upon our return to Park City, we managed to get some great interviews from people only to return to the house realizing that we had major sound problems with our interviews. We all spent about two hours freaking out and then settled our emotions with an $80 Thai dinner for four. We didn't leave the restaurant until we felt tired and happy.

Tomorrow we will reconnect with our film.

TEAM ONE
This is team one. We had a pleasant shoot today as well as an intense scripting session. Everything went according to plan and it was almost surreal. We cannot discuss further about what we shot and where for reasons everyone will find out on the screening day. Over and out.
