LA Adventure!

I think film making has to be one of the greatest jobs out there. You get some of the most amazing opportunities to travel all around the world, and try out things that you would have never imagined. In the process you also get to meet some of the most talented people you can think of. This week was no exception.

This week Jake and I had the chance to go to LA to meet up with several people we have been working on over the phone with regarding film projects.

We are filming an underwater commercial this week. Because it takes place underwater, with a bunch of high end equipment it requires us to get a bunch of equipment that only exist in LA. So we had to rent a van in order to even pick up the equipment.

This involved renting an underwater housing unit to hold the Redone camera that we will be shooting on, and it also involves us renting several lights that only work underwater, and they put off a high volume of electricity, which sounds super sketchy but somehow works.

On Saturday after we got back from LA Jake and I went to the swi pool and tested out the underwater unit without any of the lights that we had. The link below has some of that footage. We just shot this to become familar with filming underwater.

When we shoot the commercial this week we will have tons of scuba gear equipment and a full crew, so it will be a much easier task.

Here's the test footage.
