On The DIT
I took on the role of DIT for this shoot. It was shot on the Arri Alexa in 4:3 Anamorphic which meant that when I was creating proxies it was a very different process than I had ever experienced before.
I won't go into all the details of that though; instead I'll tell you a funny story about the DIT process. As you will see in the advert, part of it was shot up a Mountain. This was a bit of an issue when I was working on a laptop to capture the footage as it was on the last of its batteries.
I asked around to everyone on the set to see if they had any ideas for a solution, when one of the camera operators spoke up and said he had a homemade plug. The only issue being that it needed to be attached to a car battery to work. So we moved a van away from the shooting location, uncovered the battery and attached it to the make shift plug.
Luckily neither myself nor the laptop exploded and I managed to capture the rest of the footage, but I will always remember the day when I created proxies up a mountain attached to van battery.
