'Regular Paintings' is in production

Greetings, frans (Francart + fans = frans). We wanted to let you all know that we have begun production on Regular Paintings! We shot for two days with our lead, Nathan Hollabaugh, and the lovely Jenny Lester.

We're shooting on the new Blackmagic Production Camera in 4K resolution (the more K's we have, the more pro we seem). Blackmagic released the new 4K RAW firmware just a few days before we started shooting. It's a good thing, because the compressed formats available on the camera don't handle underexposure well. RAW recording gives us the underexposure confidence we need for the look of this film. Not a big deal for the fairly bright domestic scenes we shot, but it's going to matter when we move to our dark little bar location. 

Below are some frame grabs from the shoot. They've been given a quick primary grade, nothing fancy or final.

Production resumes tentatively on August 18th. We'll be shooting in one of our favorite bars, Le Mardi Gras. Stay tuned!
