Lights, Camera, Airsoft. (hinestly who still has 56k... if you do beware)

[White_knight]

hello all, some may remember that i was in school for film production. well, i graduated in may and looking back on the last two years of my life, i cant even begin to describe the experiences i had or the people iv met. it has honestly been the greatest, and hardest time of my life.

so i thought it may be neat to see some pictures from the action sets that i supplied my gear too as well as ones i filmed and even my own thesis film.

i hope you enjoy these pictures.

(please note that the police were always informed of gun use during these films and all proper notification practices were always followed)

ill start things off small, this is a small untitled zombie short i did for fun one afternoon






a thesis ww2 film i was b unit camera/ stedicam op (thats me on the left)
real steel on this set















a short to test a new film stock

actually i went to confederation college, located in thunder bay. you wouldnt expect it but the facilities were awesome. they just finished renovations so when i went there everything was brand new.

we had 24 / 7 access to all the equipment when ever we wanted, free of charge. as well as a computer for ever student. and the teachers themselves are awesome, they have a bbq twice every year at there houses and really were friends with the students. its hard to discribe

here's what the area looked like


studio classroom / greenscreen room


1st year editing lab


2nd year editing lab


sound room ( recording booth = left window, window looking into the greenscreen room on the right)


mixing room (theres two)

not shown is the colour room

holy mother of god. thats amazing! I cant believe you were short on people haha anyways I (and im sure we) would love to see the final result! Best of luck

That looks awesome man I am just about to start film school at AI Vancouver and I am sure that a few guns may see the light of day in my films.
ps. I still have 56k but only because in my area we can't get anything better.

I go to York University for film production, but man White_Knight, from the looks of it, the production value looks like it was through the roof, I hope you shit dollar coins when you go to the john !

Speaking of which, I should post some of the pictures I took while I was an A.D. of a short action film...

Good work White_Knight, I didn't know Thunder Bay had a film school, or even a college to begin with !

post your pics up here id love to see them.

i just finished getting some screencaps of the one of the movies so ill post um up in a second. and actualy all equipment was free we dont have to rent it. thats the one thing i loved the most you could book out stuff anytime and go film something

hell for my film that i directed, i had 3 panisonc hvx200's shooting simultaniously at full 1080 24p. two of which were on stedicam.... ill try to find a pic of that too .
in the end i had so much footage that i could recut my movie and not use a single angle twice


*Edit*

here are some screencaps of "life at its worst" (i was b-unit stedicam on this one)

The post production finishes on the WW2 film really set the era. I'm a fan of films that use similar effects. I suppose it's par for the course these days (since Saving Private Ryan), but I still like it.

[Styrak]

Lots of nice pics in there.
