Day-to-Day

Manga Canadense.

November 30, 2014

Fui no mercado agorinha, e tinha manga. Tem umas duas semanas, achei uma que parecia bem boa e comprei. A manga mais cara do mundo, custou três dólares. Cheguei em casa pra descascar, e quase cortei a fruta inteira antes de achar o caroço. Muito menor que qualquer manga que eu já tenha visto, mas …

Neve: Quase Congelado.

November 30, 2014

Ontem a gente foi pra Surrey, filmar a segunda versão do animatic da Rityka, com o cachorro, na floresta, e tudo mais. Importante citar que anteontem nevou. Um bocado. Saí de casa às 6h20 am, tudo branco na rua, calçada escorregando, essas coisas todas. Encontrei com Sean e Daniela na Expo Line e …

The Script, V4

November 26, 2014

I thought it would take longer to write the next post, or even to rewrite and adjust the script, but life at VFS is full of surprises, right? Made all the suggested changes, tweaked a bit of the action, made the ending a bit faster and more possible to achieve (what was I thinking when I wrote that …

Mid-Term Presentation.

November 26, 2014

Last week we had the mid-term presentations for our projects, when we met our mentors for the entire journey and got feedback from what we have so far. Remember when I said it was unlikely the script would go through more changes? I couldn't have been more wrong. Before going into the feedback …

Asset: Trash Bin

November 24, 2014

Over the last couple of weeks I've been working slowly on this trash bin model for the final shot of the reel. I probably could go with a camera projection, but I had nothing to do during a weekend and decided to start. Oh, yeah, it was the location scout weekend. As reference for such enterprise I …

Assignments, Brasil e Buda.

November 23, 2014

Esse post tá na pasta de rascunhos há tempo demais e já passou da hora de mandar ele pro ar. Não achei direito o que era que tinha pra contar, mas vamos assim mesmo. Semanas bem atribuladas, trabalhando em muitos assignments (graças aos céus, bem menos, em termos de volume, que no term passado), …

Why Canon 5D3 RAW?

November 17, 2014

I was about to write this huge and complicated post explaining how I'd shoot my footage RAW with a 5D MkIII running Magic Lantern, but the guys at Cinema 5D did several posts regarding that workflow, and google or the Magic Lantern forum can help filling in whatever blanks you end up having while …

Shooting Previz!

November 16, 2014

Today I had May's awesome help to shoot my story previz (everything that doesn't directly involves VFX) for our Mentor's Meeting this Tuesday. As you can see, there are all sorts of things coming out of my head!

Hovering Lights

Location Scout

November 15, 2014

So there was I, with a rough idea of what events would take place in the story, and where the characters would be/go through. One thing we learn in film production is "never put all your hopes in one option". For our projects, we also had to have backup locations and more than one available spot for …

The Script, V3

November 15, 2014

As a former film student, it's really hard to think of a story without a proper script. For the first weeks it was really hard nailing down exactly how things would go. This happens every time I need to write a screenplay: I kind of know the core moments I want to have in there, as well as an …

[HL] References and Mood Reel V1.

November 3, 2014

This is the first post (of a series) regarding the everything that goes into my demo reel project at Vancouver Film School. The chosen idea, at the end of last term was Hovering Lights (the title will probably change), a (very) brief story regarding some people experiencing a UFO sighting over …

Lynn Park e Extras.

November 3, 2014

Tô querendo fazer esse post há uma semana - que longa semana - e não tinha conseguido começar ainda. Ontem saí pra acompanhar colegas que iam em Lynn Park, fazer pesquisa de locação, e aproveitar o Sol. O lugar é um inferno gelado, mas o inferno gelado mais bonito que já tive o prazer de visitar. …
