Other Stuff We've Done
SharePro bono work
The following video was done as a college project PSA (Public Service Announcement) for one of our actors. It is called "Mañana" and features real workers playing people just like themselves. It was filmed guerilla-style in just under three hours with improvised dialogue. We started with two cameras, two cameramen, one director and one writer/producer. The writer played the guy employing the migrant workers. Manuel played the worker doing the negotiations. One of the cameras mysteriously decided that it couldn't register the power supply, so we were down to one camera. Once we filmed the negotiation scenes, Manuel left the set without explanation. We had to film around his sudden disappearance. The noise from the traffic was too loud to get dialogue on set, so we adjourned after filming to record ADR in an office nearby, using one of our cameraman as the voice of Manuel. Extras in the film were comprised of actual workers, the two cameramen and the director.
Enjoy!
