VIPs On Set

If you’ve been paying attention at all (and especially if you’re part of the Twitterverse), you already know that FEARNet critic Scott Weinberg is playing himself in Found Footage 3D. And going into our third and final week, it was time to bring him onto Gonzales.

Here he is today, meeting our producer Kim Henkel, just moments before being called to set to shoot his first scene.

On Thursday we’ll be killing Scott in glorious fashion. Stay tuned!


OMNIception Visits FF3D Set

Last Friday, OMNIception paid a visit to the set of Found Footage 3D with this nifty looking rig:

What they’ve done is assemble 12 GoPros to get a complete spherical view of everything around the camera. This can be used not just for stills, but also to shoot entire scenes, and Found Footage 3D is one of the first to make use of this technology.

Log in to the Backstage area to see the OMNIception stills. The video will be available soon.


OMNIception/Oculus Rift Still

Last Friday, OMNIception paid a visit to the set of Found Footage 3D with their OmniView Explorer, a 3D GoPro rig that allows for immersive video experience.

Here’s a first look at the FF3D set with the OmniView Explorer. This is best viewed with an Oculus Rift VR Headset, but since most people don’t have those, you might try an iPhone or iPad, so you can put yourself in the middle and look around.

At some point we’ll have an actual scene to show you. Stay tuned.


Murder Blow

Our female lead got irritated with the photographer and decided to take matters into her own hands.

Production Update: Week 1 Highlights

The first week of filming for Found Footage 3D was long and exciting, and now we’ve compiled some of our favorite moments for you guys to see. You’ll get an exclusive look at the cast and crew both on and off set.

Watch the 3D version here.


Falling Behind and Catching Back Up

We hit some pretty major snags yesterday.  The entire day centered around only two shots, both of which went spectacularly wrong, with a major continuity error on one and an effects gag that failed to perform as required on the second. But we got what we needed for our VFX wizard Trevor Harris to fix the latter digitally in post-production, and because we are so far ahead of schedule, we were able to reshoot the other scene today.

It’s a testament to our amazing cast and crew that things are chugging along so smoothly.  Even when we get thrown a serious curveball, like we did yesterday, we’re able to roll with it and get what we need.
