Hope this message finds you in good spirits. I just finished a picture called "Per Jury," I shot it in a single 90 min. long continuous talke, it has Antonio Fargas (Huggy Bear in the original "Starsky and Hutch") in it. Please take a moment to view the website http://www.perjurymovie.com, hope you find it interesting, and we hope that it will be in the movie theaters soon

:welcome: Filmgenre,

I've visited your site already and I think you have an interesting work in store for us! Glad you could join all of us here.
 
:welcome:

I've seen your site as well. I'd be really interested in hearing more about how you planned and executed the shoot.

Good casting choice, I've been looking at Antonio Fargas for a project for a while now. I've always felt there was more to him as an actor than we'd previously seen.
 
from "Per Jury" thanks for the warm welcome

Hi there and thanks for the warm welcome, there is a lot to tell about the shoot---if you are interested I will elaborate on it later.

The most difficult thing was not the wait of the camera---it was very heavy for a hand held shoot, but to make it feel that the camera was a character itself, give it human traits, and at the same time to make it move meaningfully enough to tell a story.

As far as “Russian Ark”---I have not seen it and can't compare "Per Jury" to "Russian Ark," Although, I know that "Russian Ark" was shot MOS, "Per Jury" was shot using live sound mixing---which brings enormous complexity to the shoot and encumbers the camera.
Also, I run a boutique film school http://www.filmgenre.com go to the No-Dialogue Short Filmmaking page, you can learn more about it. Its our 5th anniversary and we just authored a DVD of my students’ shorts produced.

Yeah, there were a couple of film noir films shot in the 1940's where the camera was the central character. It must have been a real challenge to get that looking natural.

The live sound mix is fascinating, they did the same on British film Gosforth Park. They'd mic up over a hundred actors and mix between them. I think they recorded the o/p on each mic and then mixed in post. Your sound recordist must have been a really talented pup. Did you put the o/p of the mixer direct into the back of the camera or did you record separately? I can't imagine that you'd risk your sound mix over a radio link into the camera and cables would get in the way, so I'm thinking that you must have recorded the sound to dat, more like a film shoot.
