Vimeo Find of the Month - November (Roy Kafri - Mayokero - Music Video)

Vimeo find for this month, I actually found last month (October), but don't let that put you off!

  The music video for Roy Kafri was directed by Vania Heymann and is fantastic! I can't really abide the mistreatment of the records and covers, but this video is done so very well.
 The music might not be your taste, but leave the volume on and enjoy!

Gear - Gaff Gun, cool concept, but is it for the lil guy?

  Been a while since I mentioned any gear, so here is something rather novel. It has a great practical application, although it poses two questions, Do I need more gear and Do I need to cart around more gear to shoots?

  For a small production company I would think the cost outweighs the practicality of another piece of gear that only does one thing, or that you wouldn't use anywhere near as often as you would hope. But I can't help but feel this is a great idea, and it would be extremely useful to a Gaffer or even a Best Boy working medium to large productions regularly... Not to mention the over all time saved to the entire production....

Hardcore - IndieGoGo... A Go Go

  I love first person and have done for a while. I've had this brewing idea and desire to shoot an adaption of a book I read, but making the majority of it in first person.
  There have been very few films to use first person well, effectively, for several scenes, or for an entire act, much less an entire film... However today I found an IndieGoGo  project entirely shot in First Person. Ironically, Ilya Naishuller is crowd funding for the post production only, as the film is already done.

 The film is called Hardcore and the teaser is mouth wateringly awesome! I can't wait for this as I'm sure so very many other people are too. Combine the awesome action of The Raid films with First person camera angles from your favourite video game and you'll be close to what, I assume, Ilya Naishuller has in store for viewers with his completed film. 

Check out the teaser:

 I saw Ilya Naishuller's Bad Motherfucker music video AGES ago, I watched it, I enjoyed it, I thought it was a one hit wonder... I'm glad I was wrong.

 This is something I can truly get behind! And I love the rig they built for the First Person Actor/Stuntman to wear:

Five Mistakes You'll Make... According to Dean Silvers (Huffington Post)

  Just read another impressive, and well written, article on Huffington Post by Dean Silvers. This one, unlike the previous (7 Secrets), pointing out the five mistakes you will likely make when making a film. Sometimes we just don't learn, so it's nice to have this immortalized on the Internets to reference.
