WE MADE ANOTHER ALTERNATE UNIVERSE COMIC BOOK MOVIE
It's been a while. I love this series. They're some of the hardest videos to make that we do, but when we nail it (and I think we did here), it's so, so satisfying.
This one has been on the list for about a year, but I figured we wouldn't get to do it for a while, since it required two things to do it right: 1. a high dynamic range camera, and 2. a gymbal stabilizer to pull off those smooth tracking shots from BIRDMAN and THE REVENANT.
Anyway, after YouTube NextUp, I used the funding I received to purchase BOTH of those things, so suddenly we could make it.
The plan was always to have Scott play Wolverine and to shoot most of it on a mountain in the Adirondacks. We did this last weekend. Scott and I hauled the equipment 2.6 miles up a snow-covered mountain. It was hard and it was cold and I'm still getting over the cold I caught, but the footage looks rad, so it was worth it.
We actually made a BTS video about the whole thing! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kU7fIsXRtp0
We've got another AUCBM planned for the next month or so, and it is probably the craziest one we've ever done. I'm very excited about it.
