Location

Locations.

Locations can be part of ispiration if everything is organaised well, but at the same time it can be pain in a butt if it's not. I did one location before, in Chainatown, at night, under rain, shooting film, with one flesh and no focusing light. Result was nice, but a bit all over the place, my mistake was too many locations, I wanted to look cinematic, In the mood for Love inspired, but it simply wasn't produced well enough. So, this time, it's spring, weather is nice and it's time for locations. We desided to shoot on roof top and in a building it self. Raw, sexy story, night, some drag, if you'll think it's easy, I'll assure you it's not. It can look too raw, more like test than a fashion story, a lot depends of styling and girl, and hair and make up and location. There is no shortcuts. It wasn't easy, again, we where shooting at night with no focusing light again, so I was strugling with focus all the time, on top of that there is no lights on a roof top whats so ever, so I don't see what I'm shooting, you look in vewfinder and it's black and you like, oh girgeouse, beutiful, stronger eyes :) Styling was a chalenging aspect as well, it wasn't exectly what I was expecting, so that was heavy for me and girl wasn't right for this particular job. At the end result was tighter edit. It looks good, but I don't feel satisfied, it felt like a job, which it wasn't. Learned a lot. Want to do location again. It's nice to be free from lights and equipment, have freedom, just need right girl and edgy style. Thats my next test.
