Preparation

 

The preparation for this film was extensive. Outside of having a crew of twenty or more people, there was an insane amount of equipment. Most of it was provided as in-kind donations through the university's film program, and the rest was outsourced to bring the Director's vision to life. The items used was an Atomos Monitor, Sigma 18-35mm lens, Zeiss 50mm lens, a Ronin S rig, a drone, and a professional car mount for the driving scenes. The Director, Cinematographer, and camera assistants met every week to prep for the shots using a Sony A7 RII. Another interesting surprise was the Producer's were able to procure a real cop car through out the duration of the 1st day. And the Director provided his own personal vehicle for the characters driving scenes. All in all, it was a collaborative team effort in pulling this project off.
