Not quite "as I go..."

Okay, so it wasn't possible to blog-as-I-go during Syncope (no wifi or cell service for 85% of the time + 12-20hr days...).

So instead I'm just going to post some more of the photos I took (mostly with my phone) from the shoot. Some might get explanation.

In the abandoned hospital, its important to to maintain a safe working environment!

Hannibal Smith would be proud

ready-ing the RED + Steadicam for the Tunnels

Stalactites being formed in the tunnels, you might say it was a little wet down there

We lit most of the tunnel with 100W practicals and a 2k at the end (behind camera in this shot)

L to R Gaffer,  Director (in cell) and DP talk about lighting the isolation cell

They decided to shoot a 2K through the main window and a
400W HMI into each of the sides (peppered with small ventilation holes

Clearing all the crew for the dock scenes. Talent is laying in the bow of the boat,
Director, DP and Sound in the stern and the 1st AC is in the water, holding the boat in place (behind the other three).

Not only Best Boy, but also the Dolly Grip I had the pleasure of rigging my own handle from
2 cartellini clamps, 4 gobo heads and 3 c-arms. Later, in the "motel room" I just used the cartellini clamps andpushed from a crouch.

Day for night. Talent had to leave the building through a visible door so we blocked off the sun with a 12-by solid and re-lit through the windows.

And the next shot was supposed to be daylight again,
so in one of my favorite moves, we shot Day-for-Night-for-Day.

So, there you go, the last half of the Syncope shoot all wrapped up in a few photos.... Just kidding, there was way more but I was just too busy to snap the pics.

Syncope is scheduled to premiere in October in Chicago before it hits the festival circuit. I'll post updates with date/time/location if you are interested. In theory there should be a trailer out sometime in late August/early September, I'll post that when I get the chance as well.
