AIT Steadicam Project Rundown
Dear all,
19th of January, tomorrow, is the date we set to film the AIT steadicam promotion video.
The production starts at 3:30 pm and may go on for a few hours.
We only have one day to film, so we will have to finish it tomorrow, no matter what.
Please keep yourself available before 8 pm.
At this moment, no team has spoken to me about any expense, so I am going to assume there is none.
Anyway, we've already gone seriously over-budget for renting the steadicam and make-up.
Let's make every cent count.
Tomorrow, at 3:30 pm we will meet at the reception and then we will do a completely walk-through for 15 minutes. After that, we will start to set up. Hopefully we start rolling camera by 5 pm. And if it goes well, we should be able to finish in an hour or two. fingers crossed.
Patrick
