Our second 4D assignment proved to be one of the most tiring projects yet! Over two weekends, my team and I worked tirelessly to come up with a concept and script, shot/equipment list, cast actors and even do a re-shoot as we were unable to capture everything we needed during the first filming date.

Here’s a look behind the scenes (filled with some shots/locations that were not used in the final cut):

In case you were wondering why there was a need for a character in drag (although who wouldn’t want a character in drag?), we felt it provided some subtext. The character was distraught and left to wonder what his ex (Isaac) saw in Isabel that he could not provide or embody. He therefore ‘get pretty’ and dolls himself up for the big day and is in search for some sort of resolution.

In the end, he decides to let go and walks away.

After production came post where my teammate Vanessa and I went through the tedious task of recording foley for our film. Here are some snippets from the night:

Dripping water onto a plate to create the sound of water dripping from Isaac’s face (0:15-0:16)

Overlaying the sound of the makeup brush being taken out of a jar (0:41-0:43)

Wetting the rim of a plastic container to make the sound of the tap squeaking shut (0:14-0:15)
