About the Production
People of None Effect will be shooting from April 17th - 19th in and around Chicago, IL. The project will include a crew of about 80 full time Northwestern students, and will be shooting on the Red One camera, a first for Northwestern University. Our entire crew is extremely excited to work with this camera and brand new workflow.
If you are not familiar with the Red One, it is a brand new HD digital camera that shoots up to 4k in resolution (larger frame format than 35mm), and has an apparatus built within it called the "Mysterium sensor" that is designed to replicate the depth of field of 35mm film to create a more cinematic image. This camera is really up and coming and has already been used by world-renowned filmmakers like Peter Jackson. We are renting this through Fletcher Camera in downtown Chicago, a rental house that provides equipment for Hollywood-scale productions.
One other detail about our on-set experience is that we plan on incorporating a 35' Jimmy Jib arm, and professional operator. This will enhance the musical feel during the numbers, and will really create professional and beautiful imagery.
In addition to the on-set experience provided by the Red Camera, the post production workflow will be another first for Northwestern University filmmaking. We are planning on taking this project through a full, professional color correction session with The FIlmworkers Club in downtown Chicago, a post production house that colors/edits every day commercials, through Super Bowl commercials. We will be color correcting with the Da Vinci Resolve Digital Intermediate (DI), where we will be able to work with every piece of data within the raw video files to create an extremely unique, and necessary image for the production of our film.
We are extremely excited to begin this process, as we are positive it is going to be a truly amazing experience. Once completed, we are also positive that this film will fare very well at world film festivals, such as Cannes, Tribeca, Sundance, Toronto, etc.
