New Lenny!

Lenny

The Lenny exercise was really great for us to practice being comfortable in our roles,and to minimize mistakes on the actual filming day.

One such mistake was made on my newly appointed part as a sound director.
The mixer was running on low battery and the levels at which they were reaching weren't very clear, but I was getting great sound through the headsets and decided to leave it as that. Smart move.
It sounded great on FCP..... until it was batch captured. Dismay.
So, mixer levels.Important.Duh.


We added sound for the drama of it all too.


Also, the actors were standing around for a good half of the time while we were setting up and figuring out how to go about shooting the scene. So we're going to have to be very prepared in advanced for the day itself for professionalism's sake. We definitely would be needing the extra hands on set or we'll really be fumbling with setting up and the process of it all.
We have to have a clear vision of the location and positions to avoid any unnecessary procrastination on shooting day.
