May 2, 2014 — Comments are off for this post.
Hectic couple of days. This week I filmed an advert for a an Calvados company in Sweden (Calvados is a cider brandy made out of apples). To tell the story, tradition and modernization of the process, we were up early in the morning until late evenings to capture the magnificent landscapes and apple farms of the southern part in Skåne.
Sometimes I do have the audacity to travel beyond the lens of a Canon and I let myself be captured .Some of these I posed for fellow colleague photographers and some (one) I took myself. Its good to pose infront of the camera from time to time, because at best you do forget the challenge or the uncomfort you have to go through when they say ”act normal infront of the camera”, or pretend where not here or if making a ”love ”scene ” and the camera is rolling and they say make passionate love, while the whole crew is standing here . As a director it often gives you ideas how to approach different actors or models whom are all very different and of course in all differerent stages of their career.
Saturday lunch is being served, while part of our assemble, me the producer and author are getting together for a breakdown of the script. We have a lot to do but we did reach a critical point in our production and started to develop the characters further.
Fiddling around the studio while unchecking the list of equipment.
I’m a bit off with the sketching but I still have each frame in my head, hopefully the clients will understand my rough doodles.
I can’t say that the fun is over, work was playing a tune in my head at all times, in the shower, when I caught the surfers of Portugal and during in the Baltic middleaged forests. Now I’m back, hungry to have a bite into those juicy stories and dialogues that I noted down, and of course the inspirational characters that you only can find in shade places. Which of course is visited by me on my holidays.
