Last night we had our shoot at expressions in emeryville for the first Change! music vid. It was awesome, the room was bigger than I expected and Nathan who is the equipment room manager that got us the access, provided us with everything we needed to get our shots. Heck, he was even our key grip, lazy susan assistant, wardrobe assistant and co- director, thanks for everything Nathan. It started out with me having problems with the firestore drive that I was capturing to, so Nathan started throwing 16gb P2 cards at me, sweet.
We shot until about 3 AM and got everything we needed and more. The talent even dressed up in some green suits and started dancing a jig with some masks on. Cant wait to do it again. I’ll post the video when its finished.

Fractal Background
Here is a pretty simple background element I created using the fractal noise and H&S effect with blending modes. It is 10 seconds long and seamlessly loopable. Be sure to select a layer and hit UU to reveal all the properties I’ve adjusted. And for those without After Effects just sit and stare.
