8 twinks at a mansion... our first shoot of 2007
Well, the title might be a little deceptive, not sure if AJ's house qualifies as a mansion, but probably close enough... I'll post some pics later and you can judge for yourself :)
This past week we had 8 twinks here to shoot content... first time we've done a major shoot in a while and we figured we'd start 2007 with a bang (no pun intended.) A couple of familiar faces and a bunch of newcomers.
We had 8 guys ranging in age from 18-22 fucking their brains out for about 7 days. It was pretty crazy, and it never ceases to amaze me how much these skinny guys that weigh 120 pounds can eat! In the course of a week, they went through about $1200 worth of food from Costco... we had someone cooking catered food for them, which ended up being better food and less expensive than taking them out.
So we had two complete crews, and were shooting 2 scenes at a time, which meant we got something like 30 scenes shot over the course of the week, combination of solo, 2 way, 3 way, and one 8-way scenes. Our first foray into shooting 1080p HD video as well... we bought the new Panasonic HVX-200 so I got to immediately learn about tapeless shooting, and the insane amount of space that HD content takes (about 1 gb per minute of video, roughly 5 times what SD takes, and way too much to fit onto a mini-DV tape) Editing that will be another interesting story, I'm sure.
Anyway, the last of the guys left on Monday and I'm finally getting a chance to rest a little, catch up on emails, and get back to normal. Just thought I'd share. I'll post some pics later on.
