Casting Call: July 9
Jun. 22nd, 2005 08:11 pmI'd like to do another Gameshelf shoot the first weekend after July 4. I would prefer Saturday the 9th, but am flexible enough to do Sunday or Friday instead, if interested people are insistent on one of those days instead. Either way I'd prefer evening... I'm thinking of blocking out 6-11pm for this.
The location would be my dining room, again; it worked out pretty well last time. (But see my mumblings under the <hr>.) The subjects would include "Shadows over Camelot", assuming I can get my hands on a copy by then, and some other game if there is time left when we're done with that.
Ideally I'd like to get between four and six or so of you hairy mutants to help with this. I need both talent -- actual game players who are willing to take direction from me (while the stuff is largely candid, I might ask things like "Could you show that move again, and explain exactly what you're doing?") -- and camera help. I theorize that one cameraperson might be enough (even though there will be two cameras), but if two people are willing to do camera, and we play two different games, the role could be swapped out midshoot.
Reply to this post or contact me directly if you're interested in helping, or have any questions. If you are interested, let me know which role (or both) you'd like to help with.
The only problem with my dining room (and any other room of my apartment) is the windows, which look just awful when the sun's up but the camera's aperture is expecting indoor lighting. Some ways around this:
* Wait until sunset to shoot. But this time of year, that means waiting until late at night.
* Use the SCAT studio. I will look into this option.
* Have someone volunteer a space they control that would work well as a controlled-lighting studio, and they don't mind being invaded by the talent and crew for the duration of the shoot.
* Someone who knows more about videography than I do tells me about something obvious I am overlooking.
