Precinct 71 Video Blog #2

Kentertainment · Post by **Kentertainment** » Sun Jan 21, 2007 10:33 am

Lo and behold! Here is the second video blog for the newest Kentertainment Pictures production directed by Sean (Gyro on this forum), "Precinct 71"

If you don't know, the film is a action/comedy buddy cop. In the year 1989, Detective John Burlinsky is assigned a new partner, Jack Spinelli, a Detective transfered from big time New York City to dullville Salt Lake. Although the Cold War is soon to end, Terrorists from communistic Georgia have chosen Salt Lake City to assemble four nuclear bombs that will eventually be transferred to bigger U.S. cities. Now the two Detectives must assemble the pieces to solving the biggest crime the city has seen since ever!

Watch and comment. The film is being shot in 24fps, Panasonic AG-DVX100B...this blog was shot with a Canon GL1 and GL2 and edited with Vegas 7.0. Enjoy!

That's cool. Man I wish I had someone to film a making of of my films, most of the time I'm holding the camera, the script and the microphone...and no one ever brings me chairs either.
Perhaps I should buy some slaves?

Here is the first one to anybody who missed it...

Yay! That first one was cooler than the second one, can't wait for the release...should be good.

Nice man

just Curious, Do you record your sound using a recorder or using the camera?

Kentertainment · Post by **Kentertainment** » Mon Jan 22, 2007 3:32 am

Are you referring to the blog or to the actual film? For the film we're using a boom-mic, I'm not sure the brand because we're checking it out from a production company based in Salt Lake that a couple of us are apprentices for. They actually have a film that was selected to Sundance this year. Anywho, the blog sound is coming from the on-board mic.

Sure was.

Hey, great job. Your footage from the Panasonic camera looks great! Are those clips in the first blog color corrected? (of him jogging, at the top of the hill)

It's really fun to watch these; just to see how the film is being made. And I have to ask...what font are you using for the titles? It's very slick looking.

angusware · Post by **angusware** » Mon Jan 22, 2007 5:38 am

yeah, that font is awesome

Kentertainment · Post by **Kentertainment** » Mon Jan 22, 2007 7:58 am

Thanks Clarence! The footage hasn't been color corrected yet, that'll be probably one of the last things done to the actual footage. But I will agree with you, I'm a fan of behind the scenes type stuff so it was almost a must to do the video blogs.

The font is called "Blockschrift fÃƒÂ¼r Flugzeuge" and I got it off dafont.com, here is the link http://www.dafont.com/blockschrift-fur-fl.font

That was funtastic. When the camera zoomed in on your car: I was half expecting some guy to run up and break out a window.

If I drive down to Utah can I film with you guys? 'Cause it would appear that you represent everything my friends are not when it comes to filming. Can't wait to see the finished project, and keep the vid-blogs coming!

EDIT: Nice post count Gyro

If that were to occur you'd probably have saw me roll as fast as I could down the mountain.

That'd be a pretty long drive...and as long as your not a sexual predator. There was a time THP came to Utah and when he was telling me everywhere he went he named a place that's not even five minutes from my house. It was wild.

The film is being shot in 24fps, Panasonic AG-DVX100B

If I'm not mistaken, its not true 24fps, but rather 24p, a mode emulating a 24fps look.
Either way, its a dope camera that I can't afford.

But the boom was placed in the camera right and not in a tape recorder.

Yeah, that's right, my bad.

Yeah we just used the on board mic imports from the boom-mic.

Dunno how this thread slipped me by over the last couple of days...

Really enjoyed those video diaries! Sat back with some food and got really engrossed by them! Funny and inspirational. And as always, looking forward to seeing the finished results from you guys!

Loved the contrasts between the two video formats too! Bet it looks great on TV with the interlaced and progressiveness.

What do you think of the GL2, Kentertainment? Does it support 16:9? Progressive scan?

Just asking 'cause I'm interested in maybe picking up a GL2.

thecrowdravin · Post by **thecrowdravin** » Tue Jan 23, 2007 11:34 pm

thanks dude the film should be nice

I never actually used the GL2, it was also something we were checking out from the production company and that was once because we didn't have our usual GL1 (from our school). The GL1 supports 16:9 so I'd assume so would the GL2 and I did a little google search and got: "he canon GL2 offers progressive video @ 30 fps"

From what I saw it was, the GL2 is a nifty little camera. I don't know how clear the difference is between the GL1 and the GL2 is. GL2 footage was us on the mountain and in the basement. GL1 footage was us in the ally.

One questions. When i record with my boom mic and everything. The sound fills to one side. How do you make it to fill both?

Kentertainment · Post by **Kentertainment** » Sun Jan 28, 2007 10:11 pm

I'll pm you just so this doesn't throw the board off topic.

Anyone else care to comment on the blogs?

TheMalteseJob · Post by **TheMalteseJob** » Mon Jan 29, 2007 1:50 pm

you guys remind me of my freidns and I. We also had a similar "hill" experience of climbing up and down a steep hill over and over in the searing summer heat of 38 degrees celcius... at least I was in normal clothes since i'm director but the 2 actors were in thick tops and leather jackets and jeans. One of them ended up being sick afterwards

Any idea when the film will be done? And are you doing this 'legally' so to speak, ie using your own music etc? Or is it a practice film.

That hike was fun. I am a fan of going up the side of the mountain. Which we did on the way down and all almost died. This film is not going to have original music, the first Blog, (the one with the parking lot scene) showed us that.
