cablecam goes live and new internship
A few weeks ago, Johnny, Rick, B and I went to Roseville to set up our newly built cablecam over a waterslide at Golfland SunSplash for a commercial shoot they were doing. It was a 2-day event for us, the first day setting everything up and testing out the equipment, the second day doing the actual shoot. It was a lot of fun working in a “real” Hollywood environment. We worked together with the director, grips, lighting guys, and the whole bit; it reminded me of working with the community access TV guys in Redding a few years ago: always yelling at the camera people to tighten the shot or at the talent to scream louder :P
We had two successful days of shooting with very few hiccups – in fact, nothing a little duct tape couldn’t solve on the spot!
As usual, there are plenty more pictures at the associated flickr photoset. I’m turning into a bit of a flickr whore, but that’s okay :)
We have a bit of video footage I’ll try to grab from Johnny before I skip town, plus we’re supposed to get a copy of the final :30s spot eventually.
Also, I just signed on with Six Apart to work as an intern for the summer on their professional line of products, namely TypePad and Movable Type. I’m quite excited to live in San Francisco for a few months and code perl all day long :) I start next Thursday – after, of course, the fun-filled day of bar hopping and general mayhem that is my 21st birthday next Tuesday.
