Thanks Rick. It was a great thrill for all of us who worked on the film. Comedy is really hard to get right. A bunch of things needs to come together to get it to work. You need a funny script, good actors and good timing. Then you need to capture it. Lastly, you need a good editor with a sense of humor. Even with all that, you never really know how the audience will react to the film on screen until you present it. When it works it is a beautiful thing.
BTW we also used the P4K on some of the shots. What a great camera. Really great for the car interior shots and capturing action like the dogs running around that would be tough to get using the UM46.
As an indie filmmaker, I can tell you that success doesn't come from how much money you make from a project, the reward comes from seeing your audience enjoy your work and when doing a comedy, seeing them roll in the ailes!
People say that if the material is good and the actors are good, you can shoot with an iPhone and make it work. I think it's true. But let's face it, if you are able to use truly cinematic tools at a price point that fits the indie budget,it really adds to the experience for viewers. Hats off to Blackmagic for making that a really.
