Lights, Camera, ACTION (and bugs, wind, cow)

The Camp Floyd School House in Fairfield, Utah.

On Saturday, I filmed an interview about where BLOOD MOON began with my filmmaker brother, John Bills. There was a ton of crazy, complicated equipment that he set up (I helped a little, but it was quite technical) all for this short 2-3 minute video. It made me wonder how full length movies ever get made. There’s a lot more to it than a camera on a tripod!

Once everything was set up we started taping the interview, which went smoothly except for a few interruptions from the wind and bugs flying into my face while talking. Oh, and some cow that sounded exactly like a Wookie.

The video will be ready for the launch date! Can’t wait to see it! Until then, here are some pics from the shoot.

Setting up the interview shot…

Not 1, but 2 cameras taping the interview.

This big screen, which took forever to set up, diffuses the sunlight and makes everything look nice.

Another view of the screen. What I was looking at.

You know it’s serious when a sledge hammer is involved!

John setting up a dolly shot. Basically, this is a skateboard for the camera.
