New Short Film!

What's up guys. Just dropping in to let everyone know that a new Short Film is on it's way. I finished the script a few weeks ago, and I will shoot it on July 20th. It's just gonna be a fun little action chase short, probably around 8 minutes.

This will be in most terms, my first legitimate short. I have some pretty decent equipment I'll be using, and one of my best friends and my Brother will be composing original music for it.

Now this is more of a standard film type short. It won't be like Lockdown (My first short film comprised of lot's of long takes. It will be a more standard shot to shot film. I think there is a total of 103 shots.

Anyway, a rundown of the equipment I'll be using.

Hardware:

Camera etc.:
Canon 600D (T3i)
Canon 18-55mm Lens
Canon 55-250 Lens

Audio:
Rode Videomic (Boomed)
Zoom H4n

Software:
Final Cut Pro
Adobe After Effects
Adobe Photoshop
Magic Bullet Quick Looks

Pretty straight forward equipment. I'm most excited about the Zoom H4n, I can't wait for the audio I'll get with that. Anyways, I'm shooting it the 20th. Due to the music composition, it will probably be Late August/Early September when this is uploaded.

My Brother will pump out music quicker but my good friend has a little bit more on his plate so it'll be a while before all of the music is locked down.

I look forward to sharing it all with you. I'm thinking of doing a review of the Zoom H4n and my 600D. I know they've both been out for a while but everyone's opinions on products are different, and an up and coming filmmaker may want to know the opinion of another up and coming filmmaker's products.

So look forward to that. As always, until next time,

-Jordan
