Behind the Scenes: Informational Presentation
April 29th, 2010

Posted by Matt

So, admittedly our video update post was a little weak, as was our behind the scenes pic, which I shot with my iPhone. However, the lackluster nature of that post means that there’s some extra content to be posted today! Specifically, I have some pictures that Graham shot on his spiffy keen new SLR. Behold the depth of field! Marvel at it’s colour saturation. Be… satisfied that they’re actually in focus.

Regarding the actual filming of the video, Graham had the following to say:

“We shot this all the new Moonbase, just moving various furniture around and re-hanging different posters on the same picture hook. Since I really wanted to use the dolly for that one, long shot of Kathleen talking, I figured we may as well use it for other side-tracking shots as well. I mean, if we can’t be bothered to use that behemoth when it’s in the same building, then when will we use it?

The trick with the big shot though, is that there’s a table in the way, so the dolly by itself won’t work. That meant we had to also had to bust out the jib, which is possibly even more difficult to lug around. That way, the camera could move over top of the table, right up to Kathleen. Filming techniques! Yay!”

Take a look at the gallery below, and it should give you a real appreciation for the close quarters we were working in, and the true unwieldiness of our rig. Yes, that totally is the camera case being used as a counterweight. We’re ghetto like that.

On the Run: ENN Credits Banter

Every week, the ENN crew comes up with some fun banter for Graham and Kathleen to run under the credits. This is how the magic happens.

Included is a brief hint at some of the content in tomorrow’s episode! Also: Jer bouncing a ping pong ball and Kathleen getting all innuendo about it.

Enjoy!

Loading Time: PAX East 2010

I filmed some things we did in Boston at PAX East using my iPhone.

See?

Yes, that is the internet’s Woody Tondorf near the middle, there. We met up with him and hung out for a bit, because he happened to be in Boston at the time. We even acted in something for him. When that comes out, we’ll be sure to link you to it!

LRR Behind the Scenes

As promised, here’s the Loading Time for our move into the Moonbase Mk. III. It took longer to get online that I had hoped, due to some strange upload issues with YouTube and our trip to Boston, but exporting with a different codec (and, unfortunately, at only 720p rather than 1080p) seems to have fixed the problem.

We’re really excited to be in this new place, and we’re also very thankful that everyone helped us find it back after we lost it.

Speaking of that Runners Operation, I should have a winner all picked out by the end of the week, and I’ll share some of the entries with you all when I do. Once that piece of business has been dealt with, next week should bring a new challenge for you all to complete. I’m looking forward to it!

Do you like looking behind things? Do you often find yourself lifting couch cushions, pulling dressers out from against the wall, or sneaking around the sides of buildings, just so you can see what’s behind them!?

Well now you can look behind some scenes!

In this behind the scenes video…

For Wireless. Here it is.

So behind.
