Firefox Flicks Backstage

My name is Richard Sanchez, from Los Angeles, CA and I’ve finally reached picture-lock with my commercial for the Firefox commercial contest.

We’re currently mixing audio and working with our composer to get a killer score for the piece. It was a very quick shoot that we had, since we shot the piece guerilla style without actual expressed permission for our location.

We shot in 24p using a Panasonic AG DVX 100a, a homemade steadycam, and some construction flood lights. We also applied Red Giant’s Magic Bullet to achieve a film look for the piece and the footage is looking fantastic.

We even used gradient mapping to achieve thermograph shots (top photo), and there’s a shot of myself on the left (bottom photo) in a behind the scenes snap shot going over one of our scenes.

Cutting the piece was tricky, as I come from a background in music videos and short films, trying to achieve all that I wanted in 30 seconds was quite a challenge. We experimented with 24 style PIP shots, and other effects. My plan is to have the project submitted later this week.
