My WORST SHOOT ever
 

Some days as a producer you suffer :321GFY

We started with a problem with capturing the sound to a Macbook Pro, Leopard did not see the device. We took a G5 with an older version and it worked.

Then the sound guy did not show up at the set, also very nice.

We started today with a shoot at 11:00 am - 2 models in a lab and one of them had to drink a magic formula to transform, so we had special make up bla bla bla.

We got a shortcut for some fucking reason and two Kino's burned, we lost a part of the sound (we shoot the sound separated) so we had to start a some parts again. Then the guy did not get him hard anymore.

After that we downloaded the HD chips to an Imac and no picture..... Tooks 54 min to get 16 Giga to the harddisk. We changed to a G5 with an older version and that was a matter of 5 min with a SuberB quality, so Leopard is not complete ready for HD.

Too make the story short, we ended the shoot at 01:45 am

This was my worst shoot EVER!

Damn brother...almost 14 hours. That has to be a new record. I'm sorry to hear that. But after looking at some of your stuff and seeing your facilities...I know that most days are a lot better for you. You guys are definitely on a higher level than 99.99% of the stuff here. What an incredible set up you have!

Thanks mate... Yeah this was a complete fuckup BUT the end result was SHOW only it tooks some time grgrggr

Sounds like a crap day. :(

tech problems are the worst when you're ready to go

You should have gone back to bed.

You had spent all day long! That must be very tiring!

no pics? :S

agreed this thread sucks without pictures.

J/K sorry to hear bout the missery, went thru a bit of stress yesterday myself, hacked epass, gf's site down the drain, bank in spain that screwed over 1500$ in checks, no fun at all, on top of that today i got a rash on my belly :(

those days happen .. the trick is to have very few of them .. Keep on truckin :)

Better luck in the future :)

Some pics or screens would be nice too. I'm a visual guy lol

BTW, I have your design practically ready. I just need that stuff via email and I can deliver it to you.

That really sucks!!! hope today is a better day

..what was in the magic formula and where can I get some? :winkwink:

I thought that said PERFORM and not TRANSFORM, and that the female model actually had a magic concoction that she had to consume before being able to get it on. :1orglaugh
