Maelstrom - Production (part 1)
Shooting “jazz style” on a Rob Nilsson feature
Still life with water bottle: An EX1 sports a DvRig Junior; Alan Hereford’s homebrew DvRig is at the bottom of the picture.
Day 0 - Finishing up our preproduction for Rob Nilsson’s film, “Maelstrom”, Tim and I head up to San Francisco and Emeryville to pick up gear. Videofax has an EX1 with wide-angle adaptor to back up ours and serve as a B camera, and Chater Camera has two Lectrosonics wireless systems with Sonotrim mikes to supplement my two existing Sony WRR/WRT-28 wirelesses with ECM-77s.
