"12th Anniversary" Practice Shoot

-CREATED 2007-
I was scared of shooting scene 13 from for my 2nd year student film "The 12th Anniversary" so we did a practice shoot with a mini dv camera, no cast, and barely any crew.

The irony here is that visually (camera moves etc) this practice scene turned out better than the final scene (Bar costumes, acting, sound etc). Without a full cast and crew we were able to shoot all the shots i wanted and had the time to perfect the camera movement in each one.

Unfortunately on the night of the actual shoot due to everything taking longer than anticipated (Biggest Lesson) a few shots were dropped and although the final it looks stunning and works great, it's not quite as visually compelling as this version.
