Deep River Production Day 2 Photos
I'm not going to write anything about the day because it was last week, plus it's probably pretty boring anyways. So here are a few photos from the shoot:

Deep River - Day 1 Production
This is coming a few days late, mostly because of the Easter Holiday, mostly because I've been busy as hell, but here is the day 1 production wrap-up.
The first day of production started with a location scout in St. Catharines. After we picked up Erica and Derek, we headed over to Chris's house to check out his basement as a possible location for Carl Boyer's "man den". It's suitable, so we give him a quick nod and head out the door, back into the truck, and start heading to Port Robinson for the first scene.
We arrive in Port a little after 4pm, and the crew (Paul, Melody, Derek & Erica) unload everything from the truck onto the grass next to the beautiful bridge while Adam and I scout the best possible location for the shoot. Shortly after we make a couple small decision, Adam takes off into the woods while I shoot some footage of two men in a small boat fishing.
The kids arrive around 5:30 after we've gotten everything figured out, and set up. Adam runs through the scene with them, while we set up the dolly, and quickly get to work.
The first scene flies off with only one small hitch. Just as we were shooting the last few shots, the Brevis stopped vibrating. We think it was probably on account of the cold weather, but we've been in much, much colder weather and had it working (shooting the icewine harvest at 5am comes to mind). Hopefully the motor, or the battery, or both aren't going on it, we can't afford to be without one at this point in time, as we have a lot of work, both with Deep River and with Corporate Clients coming up over the next two weeks.
We finish up at the bridge, and head over to what will be Lilly's house. A beautiful medium sized log cabin looking house near the tracks. We start setting up the lights for inside, while we prep the scene outside, and Melody runs to Tricky Mickey's to grab us all some food.
The sun goes down, and I opt to add a few more lights to the front porch before we start shooting. We get everything going, and knock off the first scene for this location in about an hour.
After that, we head inside, I adjust a few lights, and we shoot it. A simple one shot scene (like I'm feeling most of the show will end up being) of Tina sitting at her desk doing her homework as she gets a phone call from the boys to come out and investigate the sound they heard in the forest earlier in the day.
All in all, the shoot went well, with very few problems, the kids were great, and everything worked out in the end.
Looking forward to more shooting with this crew, as they are great, tomorrow (Saturday) we get two new additions to the crew, Bill one of our Producers, and Kyle a sound guy who is coming out to help out when he can.
Here are some behind the scenes photos. For more, check out my facebook page.
