Shooting commences tomorrow on The Roommates episode involving a pyrotechnic and the roommates, who have their own ideas about blowing off steam. It involves a Hummer and a Chevy station wagon — that’s all I’m at liberty to say at this point.
Coming shortly is a brief bio of the cast, with pictures and maybe some sound bytes if I can find somewhere to hide a microphone.
For anyone inclined to wonder, we’re using Panasonic’s HMC150 and shooting 720p at 30fps. The heavy lifting for audio has been delegated to a Rode NTG-1, with occasional use of an Audio Technica lavalier. An Olympus LS-10 will also play a major role in the show, adding its exceptional abilities in ambiance recording and possibly some dialogue pick-ups.
Special thanks to Joshua DeCrane, our intern for the last several months. He is a recent Graphics Design graduate of Western Illinois University and is available for freelance hire if you’re looking for some extra polish or comic relief (he’s a very funny guy). He’s proficient in Photoshop, Illustrator, and has over ten years of experience in production work. He recently completed his internship at Wisted and although he’s moving on, I hope to work with him again.
