It’s the final countdown. Our stereographer, Sean White, is hustling to nail down all the gear to shoot our first 3D documentary.
The crew will be packing up on Sunday, and flying to Salvador, Brazil on Monday to start filming the explosive demolition series Blowdown – plan to get get lots of pics and video of the gear before they leave and post here next week.
I’ll be joining them the week after, and will stay until after the implosion of the condemned Fonte Nova Stadium.
And while Sean and the others are busy thinking about how to capture great visuals in 3D, I’m going to be thinking about story.
Even though all this 3D stuff looks incredible, I still believe that if the story isn’t good, it’s not worth watching – so I need to make sure we’re investing in it first.
This means capturing key bits between Controlled Demolition Inc.’s crew – obstacles they encounter, conversations they have, and emotional moments that resonate.
On the other hand, I don’t want to be afraid to capture 3D footage that will captivate our audience visually …
