Week Three at NP - Part 1

It's only Tuesday and already much has happened this week! Yesterday, my group and I met with our chosen non-profit organization for the first time, and the meeting went incredibly smoothly. We discussed who we would interview (one of the ideas was quite a surprise!) and what we wanted to target the promotional video to. We exchanged ideas, set up a date to go check out the headquarters (tomorrow), and then gave the representative a tour of the New Perspective studio. (I'm keeping the identity of the organization private for now, while we are still in preproduction.) I'm very excited about being able to post the final video in mid-August! So far, everything is going very well.

Today, I went on my first shoot with one of the NP staff! There was no video on this shoot (just photo stills) but still a very good experience and the company we were doing it for was up-and-coming and very friendly. We took individual pictures of each member of staff, a group photo, and then took many shots of the building and various equipment, all brand new.

Much of the film equipment we brought was very similar to SCAD's, which meant I already knew how to use it, which felt great. The only piece of equipment I hadn't used before was a Chimera light cover, but I figured out how to put it on the Arri light easily. Overall, it was a very enjoyable shoot experience. I look forward to the next shoot!

Tomorrow, we go to the organization's headquarters and take pictures to get a feel for what we will be filming! Until then, peace!
