A young production assistant finds a moment to live out her dreams of being in front of the camera.
A Moment (2024) was made for the “Sight and Sound” class at the Wesleyan College of Film. Filming was conducted at the soundstage of Wesleyan CFILM over approximately four hours.
Tech Specs.
The film was shot on the Canon C100 (Sight and Sound production requirements) in Canon Log 3 and was edited and color-graded in Davinci Resolve with the intent of emulating 16mm film. The Wesleyan CFILM soundstage was instrumental as the shooting location, as it also provided access to programmable ARRI L7’s and Skypanels.
