Smoke Scene Shoot

After the initial set backs I finally filmed the scene for the bridge of the song which involved Enola Gaye Smoke grenades. I used a Panasonic ac-ag90 and at first i did some test shoots to get familiar with the camera although as i was just leaving it on a tripod i just had to adjust the zoom and click the recording button. As i only had 2 smoke grenades i had to get the footage right the first time, there was no room for mistakes as smoke grenades are expensive and hard to get. Overall i was extremely pleased with how the smoke grenades looked and was pleasantly surprised by the amount of smoke they made, however my model found it extremely hard to keep her eyes opened the entire time as smoke kept hitting her face so you can see her pulling faces in the recordings. Another problem i had to deal with were the passersby, thankfully most of them waited till i finished shooting nevertheless there was a dog walker that came into frame towards the end of the film.
