Several weeks ago I had the opportunity to AD and grip on a project with my good friends Wes and Amanda Llewellyn as a part of the 168 Hour Film Project. The short film titled "Unbound," will be screening at the Alex Theatre in Glendale on April 12. It is nominated for seven awards, including Best Film, Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography, and Best Director.
Originally I was going to produce a project for the festival. But I started pre-production too late and with a hard deadline you cant slide your shoot dates. So I disbanded my team and joined up with Wes and Amanda.
The 168 Hour Film Project allows filmmakers a unique opportunity to combine form and function of their faith and vocation. Each team is assigned a Bible verse then given one week to write a script that incorporates that verse. They then have one week (168 hours) to produce the script that they've written.
While I usually try to write about the technical aspects of shoot, especially HD shoots, but not this time. I will tell you that we shot on the Pansonic VariCam, perhaps I will try to talk P.C., our DP into doing a guest blog about it.
