I thought it would be a cool idea to post some behind the scenes photos from my new movie "My Angel." Different groups of filmmakers have unique ways of working with each other and I wanted to share my group's with you all. Enjoy!

what was it like using the panasonic dvx 100?

neat! how'd the crane shots work? and how'd you design it? was it from plans? and how'd you get the emergency vehicles there?

Yeah, the Dvx 100 is an amazing piece of equipment. In fact its the best one i've ever used out of the GL2, XL1, and VX2000. The manual options were great because there were alot of different elements that affected how we were able to shoot in each location, so the panasonic made our lives a whole lot easier.

And as far as the crane shots worked, this was the first time we used it in a movie making situation, so what happened was that I had an idea of how I wanted the shot to look, we sketched a wide shot of the area on paper, drew in the different elements (ie: ambulance and fire truck) and then drew in the actual crane with arrows showing the path that the camera would move.

My friend Bryan (the one with the spiky hair in the photos), has a cousin who's a volunteer fire fighter. We had to give the fire chief a copy of the script to show that there was an actual need for a fire truck and ambulance. Once the chief approved the plan (took about 3 days), Bryan's cousin got a few of his volunteer friends together, and they were able to be on set for about an hour and a half. It was really a unique experience, especially being only a couple of high school kids.

what are you using for editing?

Adobe Premiere Pro with Matrox RTX100
