On the Set with Vincent Pastore for Kodak AiO Printers
Have you seen the Vinny Pastore video on the Kodak World site yet? I had the good fortune of working on the shoot and wanted to share some behind the scenes observations and photos.
The scene was the Brooklyn Naval Yard, a now-defunct government property, hoping to re-emerge as an industrial complex. It was the perfect place to shoot a mobster themed vignette. The day was rainy and cold. As the day unfolded it rained more. As a matter of fact it didn't let up for a second the entire day!
From left to right: Crossing the Brooklyn Bridge in a driving rain, interesting buildings in the Brooklyn Naval Yard made for a perfect backdrop, a chain link fence view of a tugboat pushing a barge into the East River.
A panoramic shot (three individual shots automatically stitched together using a Kodak V610) of the set.
Brooklyn Naval Yard building. Vincent (Vinny) Pastore getting into character.
A 1970 black Lincoln Continental Mark III was just what we needed. Make-up! It was a soggy day and a challenge for all involved including make-up artist Robin Watson.
A view of a monitor during the shoot. Acclaimed Director David Steinberg reviews the script with Vinny.
Yours truly with Vinny. Clearly I am in need of a make-up artist! Vinny driving off with the newest member of the family a Kodak AiO Printer!
Uh oh, it doesn't look good for this non-Kodak printer....
Yep, it did rain all day long. I guess that was good for continuity sake. At least that is what we kept telling ourselves. Actually, the gray skies and shiny asphalt added to the effect we were going for so I'd like to say we planned it ;-)
As they say in the biz; "Thats a wrap."
