We discovered problems such as:
- Where would we shoot it?
- How could we get the camera so high that it would fit in the character and its surroundings?
- How could we suspend it? Would it be dangerous for us, and the equipment?
- How could we find a way to keep the camera in position while we move the objects for the next shot?
Billie was busy showing us videos that she'd seen over the weekend.
We particularly fell in love with this video:
We loved its fun nature; the dancing!; the fact that it was upbeat (compared to our current, dull song choice); the fact that it mixed real and non-real footage much like we wanted in the first place.
Our new plans are to stage a house party. We will have a set of planned actions for the guests to perform (such as, a routine dance; playing spin the bottle, etc). We will film these first, and then take turns to film general candid party-behaviour. Between real footage, we will insert short stop frame animations of, for example: a growing pile of shoes (as guests arrive) and emptying beer glasses.
Our movie will reflect young life: a scene that listeners of Indie music will be able to relate to.
