FRIDAY

Got another sequence done with Leah today and worked out a duet for her and Emma. The sequence used some dance similar to the other stuff i have choreographed so far. I haven't put up the duet footage as me marking it through with a bad knee doesn't really give a good idea of how it will look.
This 1st video is still mechanical but with more suppleness in the spine allowed. I like the quality of how leah dances in this one, i asked for her to be more dynamic and gave instructions on how to perform certain bits. There are a few mistakes in this clip but the next 1 is correct, though the quality isn't as good. I'm happy with the progress of the movement so far but it would be easier having all of the dancers there so that I know they all know it and creating the canons and duets would be easier.
Yesterday Greg suggested I try the i-sight cameras to film the projections as they are small cylinders that can get very close together....almost eye distance apart. He said i could place a piece of metal under them, as they are magnetic, so they stayed together and at the same distance, etc. This idea would be great if it worked, easier to carry to the studio, easy to plug in but i am a bit apprehensive as they switch on and off and the quality is pretty much that of a webcam. We tried to view both cameras simultaneously but couldn't do it in imovie or image capture. I am trying to email as many people as possible who know about stereoscopic filming to find the best solution for a good effect. Mike said i may need more than FCP for post production such as shake.
I have emailed the guy who runs the library theatre film nights to see if it would be possible to use their venue for my show and also he has a list of filmmakers so maybe someone will know about 3d. Fingers crossed.
