More Progress

Slow Going…

Slowly chipping away at all the footage…

How do I feel about the fact that it is taking forever to finish this project?  How much do I wish I could show it to everyone who helped and contributed?

I feel like Ellery does in this clip.

Thanks and check back often for updates,

Reviewing (super cute) footage for the WindUp edit.

Winders

This is one unedited clip of behind the scene footage of some of our toy winders in action.

Shooting this weekend

We will finally be shooting WindUp this weekend. Gear rented (and borrowed), kids scheduled, crew notified and a bunch of toys waiting to be wound up.

WindUp, movie

Kids, toys, slow motion cameras.

THE FILM

This video project will feature the excited faces of children as they watch the chaotic action of small plastic wind up toys. Three cameras would film in extreme slow motion to capture the magic of both the simple but unpredictable movement of the toys and the enchantment and discovery on the faces of the children watching.

Set to a whimsical and organic musical score the end result will be a video that will entertain children and anyone who wants to recapture the joy of childhood.

THE INSPIRATION

The inspiration for WindUp came from watching my daughter play with wind up toys and this video:
