Indiegogo shoot part 2
Before we shot the trailer for D-eb31e myself and Tom had an Induction into Shootool Slider which acts as an great tool for capturing good stablelized footage. To which Tom and I had tested out a few tests shots. You can find these test fooatges on Thomas Doukinatsas blog.

D-eb31e
To promote our graduation film D-eb31e we had created an indiegogo page to help fundraise our film as well promote our trailer through this as well. With lucy explaining the films concept and why we needed the budget.
The first attempt of lucy's talk was shot in the photography room with a DSLR, however due to some complications with the Audio we decided to reshoot it on the same day we would be shooting the trailer, using the URSA to better show off our production values.
The URSA was a pleasure to work with, however the battery only lasts about 1,5 hours and the card can record 25 minutes, and takes about 40 to unload. It was good that we figured this out on the test day as i believe now Laura has added in the rental of a CFast card in the budget to be more efficient
This was also an opportunity to test out the actual workflow that we will use in the final film. The footage was offloaded on to a hard drive using ShotPutPro, a file transfer software aimed at digital imaging technicians which also verifies that the copy was successful without any errors by comparing both sets of files.
The trailer shoot itself was a really nice opportunity to test out the high speed feature of the URSA, filming up to 120fps for a full hd shot. We managed to get some really nice results and hopefully the trailer will be compelling to watch and instructive for us as a crew.
Here is the Trailer:
