#30 second spot

This was an assignment for my second semester of Motion Picture Production. The assignment was to do a 30 sec spot and I chose to feature my local animal shelter where I adopted my cat, Luna (also featured in the video). I had been told many times by my professor that kids and animals were the hardest to work with, but I think kitty did pretty well. Some of the shots I got in one take and others took a lot longer. I mounted my camera to my monopod and put it at kitty’s level, that’s how I achieved the lower shots. I also had the great opportunity to have one of my shorts scored for the first time. I didn’t get to work with the composer in person, but I believe he captured the essence of my concept very well. He is actually my boyfriend’s best friend who just graduated from Berklee College of Music in Boston, one of the best in the country.
