Beginnings of Production

Today, I finally began shooting my commercial. I rounded up my good buddy Eric and went outside and got to work. We began by scoping out working locations to shoot the commercial. We found a spot to shoot and got straight to it. We began with my first shot, which consisted of me buffing out some scuffs from the front of my boot. I had to reshoot this a handful of times from different angles, and different steadiness. I finally got it after a bunch of takes and then moved on to my second shot. That entails me walking down a hall with the camera revolving and panning around me. This also ended up taking us a while, as it took 12 takes to finally get it right. I discovered today that if my times are a little bit shorter or longer than 6 seconds per box, it would work. My commercial must be in the realm of roughly 27-30 seconds long. This is all I've done as of now, but plan on finishing next class. I still need to shoot a couple scenes. One is where I start walking up the stairs which cuts to me finishing. The next entails me walking around a corner, the camera panning up from ym shoes to my face, and me "knocking" on the door, which is really my phone. Lastly, I need to walk into the room and sit down, propping my feet up and being cool in the process. So far, I have really enjoyed this process!
