Aaron Rainwater’s Shots of Me on Set

Written By: Patrick on June 18th, 2007

Patrick Ortman and Vinny Fatato on the set of “The Visit”Here’s a link to some pictures taken by Aaron Rainwater on the set of Erica Gabrielle’s film “The Visit”.

The film is currently being edited by Dave Craig, and should be at festivals near you sometime in the next year or so (there’s usually a pretty hefty lag between shooting a film and seeing it on the screen, so that’s not a dig on Dave for his editing speed).

Dave’s shown us a rough cut, and it looks pretty darn good so far. I used my Panasonic HVX200 with a Brevis 35mm lens adapter to shoot the project. My only complaint with the rig was my lack of P2 cards- I only had 3 at the time, the rentals fell through- so we had to be very careful about what we shot.

Of course, we shot this back in the Spring of this year. I’m on to other projects now. Still, thank you to Aaron for the awesome stills photography- it’s good to see that those late nights did, in fact, exist. Thanks!

I’m Busy

final cut studio 2



Looks like I will be busy for a while, Final Cut Studio 2 arrived last week and I’m using it to cut a virtual tour for a client. I shot it all in DVCPROHD, 720p. I have ideas of combining this video tour with an interactive map and even some really cool oldschool QuickTimeVR nodes of key locations- all in Flash, probably. The tour will also be available for the client in DVD format with motion graphics and other stuff.

Maybe it’s a bit crazy to do a paying project with a brand new set of software upgrades, but so far no problems. In fact, some of this project really needs the updated Final Cut software- I’m doing some really nice stabilization in Motion for it, and I’m using Color to do things like make grass greener than it was, etc.
