Production Bobby Watkins

After four days of Principle Photography, Bobby Watkins is a wrap!

The teams have operated so smoothly, allowing this to be one of the most efficient and creative shoots yet. We’ve completely built out the back yard to create “Bobby Watkins” birthday party and worked within all departments to make sure the scenes we are shooting are exactly as designed from the storyboards.The actors worked brilliant in fulfilling their roles of a 1950’s era family. From costumes to set design to camera techniques and technicolor, our team did their research to determine what would make a great film from that time period.

We’ve been working diligently to refine our departments and how they work with one another to create synergy and unity for the set. When the grip team is called on set, they know their job is to physically set up the shot while the camera crew is on stand by. After the grip team gets set, they move out and call for the camera crew, which then allows space and time for the camera crew to come in and set the CineAlta up along with providing initial camera view for the director to start tweaking the frame. While this is happening, you have wardrobe working on costumes while Video Village is surrounded by the script supervisor and art director to make sure the frame is clean and correct. Finally the director looks at everything, making sure it’s all what he wants, then calls for action.

Stay tuned for a full length behind the scenes as it develops....
