The Crop Top Crime

This video is a project I worked on when I was in photography and film school. It is a short comedy film that we put together. I was the 1st AC, or first assistant cameraman, which means that I was in charge of pulling focus and making sure that the camera was running properly. We shot this video on Red Helium camera and that camera is pretty awesome.

We had a lot of fun shooting this piece. It was early winter and the temperature was near freezing and the "drug dealer" guy was so cold in his little crop top outfit. He made up most of his lines and went off script, but it was so awesome and it was so hard to keep it together as we were filming because he is nothing like the character that he played.

The editing is a bit weird in this cause I think our editor was stoned when he was putting it all together, but that makes it even better.
