Here is a fun little environmentally themed MV/Short film I shot in august. Its meant for online and film festivals and is screening in Paris later this month (at the 2008 Le Festival International du Film d'Environnement). Shot on the original HVX and on Super8mm. S8 was transfered to SD and then uprezzed to HD. http://www.andrewdavidwatson.com/v2/unfair169.html Andrew www.andrewdavidwatson.com ps - I was working for the IFC for the last year+ shooting news segments and miniDocs about the elections. I'm outta of a job now (not totally true i have other clients) so if anyone needs crew let me know! I spilt my time between philly and NYC.

Cool, I will let you know if come. Which direction are you from Olympic Stadium? When i briefly lived in Rome for school, i lived near the cirpo metro station but use to ride my bike pass olympic stadium sometimes. My friend (who is american) use to live near universita degli studi di roma la sapienza but just moved but is still in that general area. I did not see your email in your profile, but feel free to email me - andrewdavidwatson (at) gmail (dot) com

Thanks Francesco, I mostly use a 24mm, buts its on an older canon 10d which has a 1.6 crop, so that makes the lens (correct me if i'm wrong) closer to a 38mm. Where do you live in Rome? I'm in the process of planning o a few short projects there for hopefully middle of september (if schedule works out). If all goes as planned i'll be there for 10 days.

Thanks Dave. Does PTGUI let you export into the 3d environment quicktime like you have on your site? Those are badass.

When you cant shoot 2:35, shoot the next best thing, PANORAMAS!! I've been having fun with CS3's photo-merge option. I dug deep into my photo archival and put together a bunch of panoramic photos. check them out! http://www.andrewdavidwatson.com/v2/blog/ Andrew

wanna know the best part? it wasnt a dolly, but a slow moving boat! This was the first time I ever shoot from a boat, but once you get the hang of it, shooting from a slow moving boat can yield some wonderful results!

Walter, i 100% agrea. Great point. I, not to long ago, was really really obessed with what camera everything was shot on and tried my hardest to shoot on the best format i could, but lately i have learned it so much more about the stories and people. Good stories will always out live technology.

I'm pretty sure i was shooting on the Sony ZU1 (man i sound like an idiot not knowing, but it wasnt my normal set up). I did some post color correction to the footage, but i think what really makes it stunning is the natural surroundings i had to shoot. Nothing beats shooting in Astoria on a clear early morning.

poop, good thing it was only two rolls that i havent shot yet... thanks for the warning. now to find someting to waste them on.

hey, so i was traveling the other week and forgot i had a few rolls of ektachrome 64t that i left in my suitecase. I know that normal xray machines (like the ones at the security check points) do not effect film under 400asa, but what about the xray machines the suitecases go through, any different?

cool dude, i'm back right now but am flying out again thrusday, i'll be around most of february unless i pick up another travel heavy gig. i'll drop you an email.

Oh hey dude! how have you been? Talked to adam at all lately? Drop me an email, i've been in out and of philadelphia (i'm covering the election for the IFC channel so i have been all over the place). I'm still living in south philly so we need to get a beer!!! Bowen - i cant reminder for sure but i think it was just the Sony ZU1, or maybe the newer model. I usually shot on the DVX/HVX and i cant reminder, sorry!

Thanks for the feedback.... i think i might just take that advice and change it when i have a few minutes, very good point. Thanks! Andrew

thanks! yes there is two blank spots and then a spot for the screw... do you think the blank spot before the screw, should be 32 fps? thanks! andrew
