Making The TV Set in HD
May 1, 3pm
Despite my effort to get there on time, I was late again--unusual Lincoln tunnel traffic at 2pm held me back, so I missed the most of the presentation. And I didn't take my camera so no picture of Jake Kasdan, who did "Zero Effect" & "Freaks and Geeks." His new film is "The TV Set", a comedy about getting a TV pilot made.
He mentioned that David Duchovny, his lead star, never participated a full week of rehersal before this film. He also advised that veteran actors have appetite to act that they will sign up for your film if there's a juicy character for them. He had an interesting notion that 1.85 is better for comedy. He used multicam setup to capture the performance and save time. There were more people in the audience as some filmmakers bantered with him about making his film, asking some technical questions about HD, etc.He found that shooting film is about adding light, but shooting HD is removing light as you try to remove the highlights in your frame.
The presentation wrapped up pretty quickly and Jake hung around to talk with people. Since I haven't seen any of his work, I had no question for him and left the premise.
