Just posted a new microsode of the “Leonard Who?” show. This one is called Under Construction and it was another great improvisational piece by Don Scribner and Bert Hinchman. This one was really fun to shoot. We set up a few concepts for each of the three areas within a small construction site and let the action happen as it did naturally. Went did one pickup shot — the alternate angle of Leonard shooting the slingshot, but other than that it was one continuous take I just edited in a moderately logical order.
Mark Englert (our composer and lead guitarist for the band Dramarama) really came through with a great musical piece for this microsode. I got an email from him saying “I just got an idea from watching a cat litterbox commercial.” Now if that doesn’t sum up the random wackiness of the “Leonard Who?” show I don’t know what does!
Gear list:
- Two Canon HV20 cameras
- Sennheiser ME-66 shotgun microphone with zeppelin (handheld by camera operator)
- Beachtek DXA-2S XLR to 1/8?adapter
- A bunch of hardware store clip lights (those silver aluminum shop lights) with 200 watt clear bulbs to light the rooms
We love music
