For some really odd reason, Vlad, Devan, Cedric and I decided to compete in the music video competition for The Break’s Winkipop. We’ve spent the last week and a half making it with a whole bunch of really awesome people and it’s … finally been uploaded. It’s kinda radical.

The SFU Screenings of 2010 are coming up within the month, with the First Year Screenings happening this Thursday evening at the IMAGES theater at the Burnaby Campus (:
You’ll find below some pictures I took from the sets I’ve worked on over the last year.
I’ll Believe In Anything – Directed by Kiefer Doerksen.
Hearing that Kiefer was using the RED One to shoot his fourth year film, I had to get on his set; and so I did on the last day of his shoot as grip and set photographer. Kiefer’s an awesome guy to work with, and he won a scholarship for the screenwriting/script for this film, definitely a film to look out for.
Mandroid – Directed by Dylan Innes.
Dylan and I have been friends since high school, and I enjoy working with him. Couldn’t miss being on his fourth year film set, even after being jet-lagged (more than 20 hours of flight + transit from Singapore, which is 16 hours apart from Vancouver)… and yeah, I crashed after the first morning on set lol. “Hey Cedric, it’s the second day of the shoot!”, I woke up to them saying. I cam-assisted for D.O.P (Director of Photography) Felix Oltean on the Panasonic HVX300, and when the 5D2 had the 24fps update, I shot a short “news report” clip for Dylan in one of the later pickups. It was amusing to try to make white “blood” not look like jizz. Principal photography was mad; Dylan and his team did so many shots in a day; long days, but really well planned. Kudos to them.
Empire City – Directed by David McDonald.
I was privileged to be the camera operator for David on his fourth year film, being a first year student. Apart from weddings, it is the first piece of serious narrative work I did on the 5D2. Great learning experience. Most of the shoots took place at night so it felt really challenging sometimes, even though the filming days/nights weren’t as long as most others. One of the notable incidents was that the camera was close to being destroyed/damaged when the jib toppled over while on a dolly move when it ran over my feet (good thing I saved my own clumsiness by holding on tight to the camera). It was my first time working with Dave and the Talbots (pro lighters); it was really great working with them and I’ve worked with them on several occasions since.
Imminent Contact – Directed by Philip Jack
Second shoot whereby I was the camera operator. This shoot was very different from the other films, as it was all POVs; either from the characters HUDs (Heads-up Displays)/cameras or from the dropship’s monitoring cameras. Yes, we built a dropship. I helped out with the construction as well; I’ll try to post the timelapses of the set up and tear down of the set soon. The first two days were particularly depressing as it seemed like an impossible task with the amount of time and resources we had. However, Phil, Dylan, and set designers Geoff Manton and Dan O’Shea were able to put the large numbers of volunteers we had on the third day to good work, and everything turned around. The shoot went on a lot smoother and quicker than the set construction.
Can’t wait to see how all these films will turn out!
On my way to Harbor Centre, I overslept on the bus and ended up at Burrard… but wow what a surprise; it was as if I walked into a dream. So I shot some videos and pictures to prove I wasn’t fantasizing…
#2 | Burrard Station
#3 | Reflection
#4 | Snowed In
So Mnason came from Toronto to hang out and escape from the snow… but we got snowed in here in Vancouver anyway.
