We promised a while back that we would deliver a special behind the scenes look at the making of our MMPR: First Wave teaser trailer, and today's the day! First wave will be a short fan film and since the film itself will only be 7-10 minutes, we wanted to keep the teaser trailer super brief. So, we shot the background plates for a quick look at the world which Rita Repulsa has sent down her first wave of troops.
We created a small warzone in a junkyard in Clearwater, FL. We were sure to have our animator. Kevin DeLucia on set so that he could keep a advise us on the best way to get the footage since the Red Ranger himself will be a CGI character (see This Post to learn why we chose to use a CGI character for the teaser instead of live action as it will be in the final film). The footage was shot on the Red Epic camera in 5K.
*In the true spirit of working without a budget, the behind the scenes footage was shot on a mobile phone, so please forgive any shakiness or lapse in sound quality.
