Im in the process of shooting a safety video for a Puget Sound company and this is the first real test of my new HPX 170 camera. We are shooting in many different locations, construction sites, wharehouse, manufaturing sites, etc... we are using a teleprompter for 90% of the shots, the other 10% im using my HVX 200p.

Here we are on location...in a trench with the HPX 170, teleprompter and Baby legs I got on ebay for $18.00. Me on camera, Olga on prompter, Brenden on slate and Dennis on sound. Brandon is taking this picture. we are averaging 10 hour days and 10 set ups a day for 6 scenes. each day has at least one dolly shot and this day was mostly out doors. we used Mole 2k juniors with full CTB most of the day. One of the biggest challenges have been our prompter, it dosent like moving and the outdoors to much.

This shot was the last shot of the day.

Mark the wondergrip levaling the dolly track Saturday.

Making final tweeks and testing the track. Thomas(extra) Dennis, Olga, Me and wondergrip Mark.
Lights:Molequartz 2k and Mole 2k Junior with frost. just off camera to the left was a B&M Nooklight 1K, also 2 2k juniors were used for backgroung accents, and arri 650 with 1/2CTB was used in BGND.

Making final script changes before the fist take this weekend, our safety vests were a location requirement.
See B&M Nooklight, this light is amazing it's output feels like 1.5k. I used it as a hard kicker light, you can see its effect on my hat and shoulder.

Olga makes final wardrobe ajustments as Denis takes a reast on the dolly. You can see the Molequartz 2k as our key light and an Arri 300 to light the boxes. Here is a final shot of the scene as seen by my still camera.

The sandbag is not in the shot. there is a 2k with amber hitting our extra, Molequartz with egg crate as key, arri 300 lighting the boxes center frame an Arri650 fill light on out talent and aJunior 2k lighting up the back wall over our talent's head.

Come back soon for more details and updates on this project,
Thanks for reading.
