Zombie project-Update 1

 

The zombie team (Helen and I) finished a day of experimental shots. Although we did not have a clear vision, we managed to have interesting shots. In comparison to DSLR (crop frame), the Sony EX3 is a great video camera, especially in low light condition without lighting kit. We were not used to using the EX3, but quality of the clips were quite satisfied except our last shots. We did not pay attention to the grain level, so the night shots were not smooth. There are many things that I learned from our shooting day.

  • Lack of physical strength (aka muscle): This is a harsh true that I have to accept. Spending 4 hours carrying around the bulky camera and its tripod was not easy. The current state of my body is not fit for the role of cameraman. In the long run, I have to start working out as well as other skills if I want to a job in media field.
  • Transport: Carrying the gear to my place by public transport ached my arms. Things would have been easier if one of us had a car. We could also load more equipment to try something else.
  • Unwanted Attraction: Our rig was so attractive because of its size. The more it was getting, the more people started to come. It was not uncomfortable at all until a group of hoodie guys pointed us. We quickly packed things up to avoid further trouble.
