We started shooting our full length film today.

The shoot took place outside. The setting was a surprise going away party for one of the main characters.

The lighting was nice, and thankfully we got a lot of useful footage.

The genre of this film is comedy/drama.

The film is being shot in HD, and will be produced on Blu-ray and Standard DVD after completion.

We’re using the Sony HVR-V1U, along with the Letus35 Extreme DOF adapter.

While shooting in 24P, along with the DOF adapter, this is the closest we’re going to get to the “film look.” Then with a few post production tweaks (adjust levels, add film grain, etc.), we’ll be all set!

We’re aiming to have all of the footage shot within 8 months. So the film should be close to completion within 1 year. We’ll know a closer date several months down the road.

Our director is Jordan Gessler.

I (Michael), am the producer, as well as director of photography.

We’ll be posting more updates soon.
