As I explained in my last post the PoC trailer for "The Shadow Sea" is being shot guerrilla style. We set up, wet get the shot, we get out. Sometimes we talk our way in, set up, shoot and get out. That's what happened on a recent night when I needed to get some footage in a hotel kitchen. It was late but the manager was still on duty. We tracked him down and he kindly agreed to allow us to do a few minutes of shooting in the kitchen. The shot below shows actor Louis Ortiz (Reeshar) on the left looking on amused as I attempt an incredibly hi-tech special effect composed of a napkin, some masking tape and a little ketchup. On the right the gentleman in charge of the kitchen wasn't sure what the hell we were doing but he took it all in stride.
The next photo is an outtake from a recent PoC trailer shoot and is a pretty good example of one of the major perils of guerrilla film making. Since we have no control over the location we have to just set up and shoot and hope that those not directly involved will simply ignore us. As you can see in the photo it often doesn't work that way.
