End of shoot day 2

We shot on Freemont street tonight. In the movie, Aldo and Jennifer get drunk and walk around Las Vegas. I wanted to shoot somewhere visually interesting AND well lit at night. The Freemont Street experience was just the ticket. We got there around 10:00 PM, and loitered a bit. Geoff got kicked out of a casino, cuz he looks like he's 12 and a half years old. I waited outside with him untill Rebecca and Jarrod returned with their Yard-Long drinks (for the scene, of course).


Freemont street is a closed down section of old Las Vegas. The area directly above the street and sidewalk is covered with lights that act like a giant TV screen. It plays a show every hour. I shot a bunch of stuff of Jarrod and Rebecca walking around, mostly handheld stuff with the FigRig. I used a 28mm lens for the shots of Aldo and Jennfier walking around. I used a 70-210 zoom for a shot of them walking down a long corridor. We had been shooting for almost an hour and the show still hadnt started. Just as we were getting ready to leave, all the lights went out and the Freemont Street Experience started! Not wanting to miss any of it, I grabbed the camera and put the 50mm on it. Once I had enough footage with the 50, I changed to the 28mm. They both worked really well considering the lighting circumstances. So over the course of 1 and a half hours, I used just about every lens I have. Be sure to check back tomorrow for more!
