Postproduction II - Making Off

After reviewing all the stills from the FAR ROCKAWAY shooting even more harddisk capacity got occupied with the HD video "making off" material.

Supported by JVC many scenes were documented with HD video. from the initial casting at hit-and-run productions to the final day the documentation will not only show the work of actors and the crew but show the diffence between HD video and real film optic and look.

stay tuned, even if the news are getting in more rarely

postproduction I - stills

i got 4.978 making the PC crahing  from time to time. using tags and stars to identify pictures and sort them by quality, the first results come up: a slide show for upcoming events and a dvd for the participants.

Time to say goodbye | october 30th

After one month of working together from casting to the last scene, many friendships were founded. obviously the crew was sad to go back home.
on the other hand we are curious to see the film's raw material, the making off video and the 4500+ still pictures taken during the shootings.
More to come soon.

Alex!s - the lead actor

FAR ROCKAWAY is the story of his stay in new york. the photographer MARC is the main character and with Alexis were found a good one!
Alexis took very good pictures indeed and was on topic from the very first moment. it was really nice to work with him all the time, his patience and good attitude helped in many ways.
we are sure that people identify with him from the beginning to the credit roll...

the camera guy - ARI TAUB

not only operating the camera in many sets, Ari Taub supported the production in many ways: from preparations to the casting, supply of equipment and good advice, the movie wouldn't have been possible without him.
Thank you Ari! We gonna rock you again the next time in old europe...

special shot

And action: this time not only for the actors but also for the crew! ARI, MICHAEL and JAN surround the couple MARC & MAGGIE in a special shot.
