3D MODELS
Before you watch this, here is what you need to know:
We were in downtown Riverside and needed a rugged place to shoot our sequence. We were kicked out of a parking garage but then we found this cool alley area. Now it was somewhat open to the public and we were a little nervous about pulling a gun out with so many cars passing. Nobody wants to get arrested by the police… So Sam put it in his coat as we were finally ready to shoot.
Now the gag was for him to shoot the lid of a large dumpster and the lid would close shut. Simple enough right? We lifted the lid up and while waiting to shoot the scene some wind came and knocked it down:
SPOILER :::: BE SURE TO WATCH VIDEO FIRST!
Perhaps you had to be there to appreciate how funny this is. What is more hilarious is that everyone was startled by the sound but only Sam’s face is on camera being spooked! Obviously this is the take I used because there was so much excitement going through his veins.
We filmed with a JVC HD-200 with one of those fancy DOF converter and a 50mm lens.
What does the JVC HD-200 shoot to? How was the lens converter? I've tried a 35mm lens converter on our HVX-202 with less than satisfactory results...
Btw Andrew, where the heck can I buy a JVC HD 200 camera? I live in Norway and I can't find any stores that ships to Norway
now
where can find a DOF adapters ?
this is so funny
but the AMAZING thing that i noticed about this short film that SAM is a great actor as he changed his face from funny face to extremely serious face suddenly.
I loved it.....and next time , Guys...........................TAKE CARE :)
When will you produce your own movie, a real one ?!
And what about DVD VideoCopilot Series Ones and Twitch ?
Great job.
And Sam really does look like a skilled actor.

That was funny. I bet he had a case of the "mud butt" after that. LOLOLOL
thx andrew
-Reminds me of when we were rigging a stunt guy with squibs and threw a couple of SD-100's (ground hit charges) into the mix.
His face after the take was amazing...pure terror.
We still talk and I went to his wedding..so I maybe still have a friend.
Ha Ha..keep up the good stuff guys, looking forward to Twitch and DVD etc.
(Whats the latest on N.A.B then?)
Gas to drive to location… $25
Seeing Sam get the crap scared out of him on film… priceless!
That was good. And you should give Sam some lines in the next one :)

remind me when i said that once in this plane , going to Florida , in french a bomb is like "she's hot" translate by "c'est une bombe" , it's not security , it's paranoia .. louder and i was kick through the window ...by the bomb girl!
Check out Redrock, Brevis 35, and the super-cool letus35. All are cool products.
You also will need a couple lenses, support rods, and a follow focus.
However, did you all notice how professional Sam is in this shoot... He get spooked, start laughting as all the team, and just after "action" he turn the his head away and he is in his character ready to play the scene. Great work Sam :)
About the shooting... Is there any chance you show us a comparative shoot with and without your redrock adaptator ? Maybe could you show us a shoot or a photo behind the scene and show us what your JVC look like with all addons :)
Cheers,
Now we want to see more of you in the video, not only your voice. How bout if you act in front of the camera along side with Sam or maybe in the new tutorial DVD you could appear when you do the opening or closing of a tutorial, that way you can make a better connection with your fans :)
I never SEE you talk too you know.....
I can't wait for this advanced tutorial DVD, it will help me finish my video I made!
when i buy the training dvd can i just come pick it up somewhere instead of waiting a week to get it in the mail
thanks and bravo!
While this is funny (not as funny as the 'suicide' outtake, but maybe that's just me.), what's more impressive is that I could have swore that the background was another one of those greenscreen pictures like you used for the creative cow series on keying...
Wow. You make the fake look real and the real look...um, fake?
Okay, I'm out.

THIS IS WHAT ANDREW SAID.
It is a Sig P229 40 cal. This particular gun is real but I don’t’ recommend using real guns. It is just hard to find replicas for cheap of this one.
hey didnt say much
A couple of questions:
A) What tripod are you using, it seems quite smooth, I think our fluid head ones are a bit cheap and old now, not quite so smooth
B) I'm guessing you're using a converter for your lens mount and then mounting it right into the JVC (as opposed to using an adaptor like the Letus Extreme or something like that).
C) How much did that lens cost?
Cheers,
Jacob.
Andrew - for laughs, you should throw your VCP logo over that logo on the fence (little corner pin thingie) be kinda cool hahahah
keep up the good work - that dvd's gonna be awesome!!
Are you shooting to tape with the HD200? Or HDMI out to a drive? I have the HD100, and have been somewhat disappointed with the camera's handling of movement w/ the HDV format.
Thanks.

In english: A filmcrew was making a movie and they were filming some shots with guns (like you guys did) and some people reported them to the police because they thought it was real guns and then the whole army of policemen came:P haha.
Take a look at the pictures, all fake guns:P That could be sam loya in the back of that police car^^
LOL
Sam got a little scare,
he talks funny (no offense)
=D
Was in berlin near the kudamm ..no wonder :))
Looking forward to the next dvd!
