<\/p>\n
A romantic short film entirely filmed with an iPhone6 has dadoo to speak at international<\/p>\n
festivals. Romance in NYC, the American Director Tristan Pope, takes advantage of smartphone mobility<\/p>\n
to reproduce the intimacy of a couple on the streets of New York in a production round in three days<\/p>\n
and with a budget of just $ 7, 5mil (cercadeR $ 22mil), obtained by crowdfunding. The short film is shot<\/p>\n
from the viewpoint of the boyfriend. Pope, 31 years, operates the camera as a narrator-character:<\/p>\n
during a hug in bed or a walk in the Park, seeking to give the impression that the public sees the same as<\/p>\n
him.<\/p>\n
To capture such personal moments, the Director wanted to shoot was close, no grand<\/p>\n
equipment and large team. “I chose the iPhone because it was the best way to tell the story. I felt like I<\/p>\n
had finally found the media that I wanted to achieve that feeling of intimacy and candor, “he says. But<\/p>\n
Pope also knew that, to go beyond the homemade video, needed to master the technique. “Even when<\/p>\n
you shoot with the cell phone, is still needed to understand, some light. It’s not because you have a<\/p>\n
camera you can make a movie, “he says.<\/p>\n
Pope’s first experience with mobile filmmaking was Dancers of NYC, shot less than two minutes.<\/p>\n
During filming, he was impressed with the quality of an image of the Sun captured by the camera of the<\/p>\n
iPhone and decided to pursue a more ambitious project. In Romance in NYC, he accumulated the<\/p>\n
functions of Director, editor, executive producer and director of photography. Featured seven more<\/p>\n
people on the team, starting with the creative Assistant Natalie Deryn Johnson, who did a bit of<\/p>\n
everything: helped with the script, held doors for Pope could pass while filming and, on occasion,<\/p>\n
operated the camera so that the Director used both hands on stage.<\/p>\n
Virag Gulyas commanded the casting, which was attended by more than 1,000 actresses. The<\/p>\n
chosen was Rachel McOwen, who made a tip in a film in the Spider-man franchise and played Miley<\/p>\n
Cyrus in a viral on the internet. The role of the girlfriend, her look was in charge of the costume designer<\/p>\n
David Crowley and make up artists Paige Campbell and Missy Scarbrough, who had the Mission of<\/p>\n
keeping the face of actress with natural appearance. “The iPhone shows the skin extremely clear, more<\/p>\n
than the normal cameras,” explains the Director. Finally, Milan Maric helped in lighting and recorded<\/p>\n
behind the scenes footage with a CanonEOS 7 d. Pope didn’t want the making of it filmed with a cell<\/p>\n
phone that didn’t have the same aesthetic of short. “In addition, needed he used a telephoto lens to be<\/p>\n
away from the action, filming without appearing in the frame,” explains.<\/p>\n
EQUIPMENT<\/p>\n
The backstage images were used in making the release on the internet and in videos made for sponsors:<\/p>\n
companies Glidecam Blackwing and MoviePro application, who donated products and\/or contribute to<\/p>\n
the crowd-funding campaign. In general, the equipment used by Pope sought to give stability to the<\/p>\n
filming. In scenes in which the characters walked or ran, the Director chose a Glidecam HD-1000<\/p>\n
stabilizer. In more static, takes the Blackwing which allowed stall iPhone safely.<\/p>\n
A malleable tripod Joby Gorilla Pod DSLR was operated curiously: Pope held only one of the<\/p>\n
“legs” of the accessory and used the other two in own face, to position the iPhone a little above the<\/p>\n
eyes. This allowed him to move his head while filming, which created “the boyfriend”. According to the<\/p>\n
requirements of each scene, were used different brackets, stabilizers, tripods and monopods, plus a<\/p>\n
portable battery charger Anker. To improve contrast, reduce glare and create other lighting effects, the<\/p>\n
team resorted to a polarizing filter, a portable reflector Newer and a reflector of Amazon Led Basics.<\/p>\n
“The iPhone can blow the light easily, and we needed to be prepared,” he justifies.<\/p>\n
The application allowed MoviePro extend the functionality of the camera phone in questions<\/p>\n
such as exposure, temperature d\u00e9cor and soul-capturing rate. Pope was attracted by the promise that, if<\/p>\n
the product fails, the chances of losing the material would be less than 1%. Before shooting, he<\/p>\n
contacted the developer and gave suggestions. “We work together to create and implement ideas that<\/p>\n
are now available to the public,” he says. “The application has saved my skin on several occasions and<\/p>\n
the result was amazing: helped me understand how the iPhone could shoot better and allowed me to<\/p>\n
take it to the limit,” says<\/p>\n
SOUND AND POST PRODUCTION<\/p>\n
As Romance in NYC has no dialogue, the script just listed locations and the feelings and ideas which<\/p>\n
should be transmitted in each scene. The improvisation was frequent and welcome. The absence of<\/p>\n
dialogue also ruled out the need for equipment for audio capture. Post-production, which took between<\/p>\n
two and three weeks, urban sound effects have been added (such as the sound of the subway) and a<\/p>\n
soundtrack created especially for the movie by independent artists. All correction and audio editing was<\/p>\n
done on computer with Adobe Suites (Adobe Premiere eAfterEffects), while the color correction was<\/p>\n
made with Magic Bullets, Custom LUTS and Davinci Resolves. And the nearly 30 hours of material<\/p>\n
resulted in a short 17 minutes and 44 seconds which will be distributed on the internet (probably in<\/p>\n
iTunes) after ending his career at festivals. Romance in NYC has been displayed in New York, Madrid,<\/p>\n
Zurich and Toronto, and yielded the Pope calls for talks in the Apple stores.<\/p>\n
THE STORY DICTATES THE CAMERA<\/p>\n
Excited as low cost and portability of filming with the cell phone, the Director has already made another<\/p>\n
short with the iPhone, Snowday, you have three minutes long and captures the movements of a dancer<\/p>\n
during a Blizzard. “It’s a format extremely liberating. I have a really awesome equipment, which allows<\/p>\n
me to stabilize and create paintings that would cost me thousands of dollars in any other way, “he says.<\/p>\n
This does not mean that Pope will never shoot with other cameras \u2013 in fact, he says to keep an eye on<\/p>\n
the SonyAlpha 7S. “If my next movie be better on the lenses of a RED or BlackMagic, I’m going to use<\/p>\n
them,” he says.<\/p>\n
For him, the technology allows the filmmaker choose your camera according to the story you<\/p>\n
want to tell, without bothering to follow the industry standard. “When I was younger, rented equipment<\/p>\n
and accessories not because were using them, but so that people take me more seriously. With the<\/p>\n
success of mobile filmmaking, is no longer the case. A story is a story, no matter if you see it in 1080 p or<\/p>\n
4 k “says.<\/p>\n
EXPERIENCES<\/p>\n
It was during college theatre that Pope discovered his interest in direction. Without formal training in<\/p>\n
filmmaking, it considers the work as the actor, dancer, photographer and theatrical director helps<\/p>\n
behind the scenes. “I feel like everything is blended in \u201cdo it now\u201d: drive. If one side I’m self-taught, on<\/p>\n
the other I think my life, my experiences and what I’ve learned with tentative and mistake, or just<\/p>\n
watching the many movies and plays, they helped me have the skills I have, “says.<\/p>\n
It was also crucial to passage by the software and games company Blizzard Entertainment. For a<\/p>\n
little more than four years, Pope directed, edited, and produced material for Warcraft and Diablo,<\/p>\n
besides working in the episode Make Love, Not Warcraft SouthPark television show, which combined<\/p>\n
animation and video games and was awarded the Emmy, the Oscar of American television. Pope says he<\/p>\n
has left Blizzard to “work with people”. He claims that, as a Director, wants to focus more on the human<\/p>\n
aspects and history than in technical aspects. “But you can’t do one without the other, so I’m grateful for<\/p>\n
the technical prowess I learned,” he says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
