Wave 3 Production Completed - on to Post!

We have just completed our 3rd wave of careers for CaerusPoint, LLC. Schuyler Osborne was director this time and C. Douglas Howard was Director of Photography. Devindra Ramdehal - second camera, Seth Cohen and Kat Small - 3rd camera, Rick Alexander & Lee Day - audio, and Kari Larsen of About Face Design Team & Kat Flynt did our location makeup.
Some fun challenges with lighting on these careers, and we were in a couple louder settings with the Veterinarian and the Bio-Medical Engineer adding a little more ambience. It is time to start editing all this juicy footage and bang out some HD!

We shot mostly in the Orlando area and a Bio-medical shoot in Atlanta.
Here are a few shots of the different careers.

22 Episode careers project

We have been contracted by CaerusPoint to create 22 episodes of careers aimed at High School and College students. The careers are everything from Industrial Designers to PR firms to College Professors.
We are using the latest technology on the shoots...2 Canon 5D mark2 cameras and a 7D to do the shoot in HD (1920x1080). The ability to shoot with a smaller footprint and low light will give us a unique advantage to "get the shot" without the demand for large lighting and larger crew. We are also using LED lighting, which is less invasive and cooler on the talent.

The shows will have a 5-7 minute "Studio" performance by the two hosts. One of the two hosts will go in the field and do and interview with a professional in the industry of about 12-15 minutes final footage (a day in the life of) and then return back to the studio (5 minutes) to discuss and rate the career on it's various contributions to life, balance in life and even "Green Impact" towards the environment. Show is formatted to potentially go to televison as well as delivered on DVD and online for schools to have for their counselors and career instructors.
We will wrap on this early December of 2010. If all goes well we will be shooting an additional 33 beginning early 2011.
