Day 6 on set of Desert Wasteland: "The 14th take wonder"
Our day consisted of a slider shot ending on a rack focus. This shot proved to be tricky because the timing of the actor's actions and camera movements needed to sync perfectly.
The essense of this scene lies in the sybolism behind the actions of the actors and camera. In this scene MJ (played by Jade Diaz) is giving herself to her boyfriend Steve (Kasey Seats) who later betrays her and destroys her life.
The slider moves across the scene, racking on MJ's actions, ending on a clock-which racks to a shirt that she throws ontop of. Sound confusing? Several rehearsals and shots later (16 total takes) we finally got it right. (Getting the shirt to land just right on the clock proved to be a challenge)
The scene flew by quickly and ended sweetly.
Rehearsals are a beautiful thing, never let them go to waste. : )
