Film na jednym ujęciu to wyjątkowa formuła i metoda pracy, którą rozwijamy już od 5 lat. Tym razem zrealizowaliśmy film zainspirowany historią Okraglaka, miejsca symbolicznego, ikony poznańskiego modernizmu, miejsca, które łączy pokolenia nie tylko Poznaniaków.  

Warsztaty filmowe z realizacji filmu Mastershot odbyły się w Okraglaku w październiku. W planie filmowym wzięło udział kilkudziesięciu uczestników – statyści, aktorzy, epizodyści, tancerze ekipa filmowców z Poznania – wszystkich połączyła pasja do filmu i niezwykłego miejsca, jakim nadal jest Okrąglak.

Pierwszego dnia omówiliśmy wraz z uczestnikami scenariusz, zaplanowaliśmy produkcję i zorganizowaliśmy pracę w ramach poszczególnych pionów: operatorskim, reżyserskim, scenografii i kostiumów, produkcyjnym, oświetleniowym i dźwiękowym.

Kolejny dzień poświęciliśmy na wizję lokalną, a przede wszystkim wykład architekta, który przedstawił historię modernizmu w Poznaniu, w szczególności Okrąglaka, połączony z wjazdem na taras widokowy. Nie trzeba przekonywać, że udostępnienie uczestnikom tarasu widokowego Okrąglaka było ogromną atrakcją dla wszystkich.

Trzeciego dnia ekipa filmowców, uczestników w Okrąglaku zrealizowali film na jednym ujęciu inspirowany niezwykłym miejscem, jakim jest ikona modernizmu w Poznaniu. Doskonała organizacja, sprawna współpraca i dyscyplina umożliwiła nam podołanie wygórowanym wymaganiom bezpieczeństwa, a zwłaszcza reżimowi sanitarnemu, w jakim byliśmy zmuszeni przeprowadzić warsztaty. Pomimo tych obostrzeń organizacja przebiegła zgodnie z planem i przeszkoliliśmy grupę kilkudziesięciu uczestników z produkcji filmu na jednym ujęciu. Powstały: zdjęcia, film Making Of oraz film na jednym ujęciu, którego akcja dzieje się w Okrąglaku.

Dziękujemy miastu Poznań, zarządcy Okrąglaka, uczelniom, Galerii Jerzego Piotrowicza oraz wszystkim uczestnikom, partnerom wspierającym nasz projekt.

Film made with one single shot is a unique formula and method of work that we are constantly developing. This time we have made a film dedicated to the great composer from Poznań - Krzysztof KOMEDA Trzciński. And this means that one of the most important roles in our project was played by the jazz music of the musician from  Poznań.

Mastershot film workshops took place at the Blue Note Club on the last weekend of November. Abou one hundreds of participants took part in the film set - extras, actors, musicians, a crew of filmmakers from Poznań – all of us a passion for film and music connects.

We spent the first day at the University of Arts in Poznań and we discussed the script with the participants, we planned production and organized work within individual divisions: cinematography, director, stage design and costumes, production, lighting and sound.

The next day – rehearsals. At the film location – a jazz Club Blue Note and at Acedemy of Music in Poznań. Music played one of the main roles in our film – that’s is why we also invited jazz musicians to participate in our project. They had organized a music rehearsal before the next day when the film set took place.

On the third day, the crew of filmmakers, musicians and participants made the film using only one shot at the Blue Note Jazz Club in Poznań. The working title is: “Komeda in Poznań”. So far, no feature film about Krzysztof Komeda has been ever made, not even short, not to mention the film made only in one shot.
 

One of Komeda’s popular songs – Crazy Girl was used in the soundtrack. It comes from another well-known Polish movie “Knife in the Water” (“Cul-de-Sac”) directed by Roman Polanski. We could use that piece of music thanks to the kindness of the heirs. Perfect organization, efficient cooperation and real chemistry, which was created between all people involved in this project meant that the workshop was a source of great inspiration and knowledge for participants At the same time the project strongly integrated Poznan filmmakers.

We’de like to thank you to the Blue Note Club, Patryk Piłasiewicz and musicians from the Poznań Academy of Music, the city of Poznań and all participants, partners supporting our project.

Łódź Foto Video Film Fair

NAB Show

Today we have already known that we will work on a professional drone ALTA, which is the first multi-rotor to accept a camera on the top of the airframe and make fantastic footage up in the sky – Skyview.  We will also have Camera car TERO which is a completely new way to move the camera. The system allows for an extremely dynamic low camera angle coupled with full 3-axis control of the MōVI stabilizer to create never-before-seen shots. With our custom Vibration Isolation System on a car as smooth and agile as this, you’ll rethink what is possible from a chase car. 

During the workshop we will present you and work with you on the advanced equipment!

The workshop were attended by film professionals, enthusiasts, students of film production and film direction who live Poznan. On the film location worked about a hundred members of the film crew, who were assigned to the different production divisions: operators, sound and lighting engineers and stage design. Footage was realized with the participation of stunt teams. The main roles were entrusted to a professional Polish actors: Mirosław Zbrojewicz, Sandra Staniszewska and Miron Jagniewski. Paweł Czarkowski directed the mastershot and wrote the script. Movlab Film Studio from Poznan produced the film. The film “Making of”  directed by Jarosław Żarski, showing the production process, was also made during the works on the set.

Working on the set was the culmination of the first edition of Mastershot Workshop, which aimed to bring to all interested people secrets of film production. Now the footage is in post-production. The film's premiere is planned for January 2016. The "Making of” will be also premiered.
We would like to thank all the participants of the workshop, actors, extras and stunt people involved in the organization of workshops and production of the film, who helped accomplish this seemingly impossible and very demanding project in such a short time for the commitment and work.

He also discussed the location of the film and presented the initial video that illustrated the place where the film was to be made. Staszek Mąderek presented and discussed the most recognizable, sometimes extremely intriguing examples of mastershots that have been woven into the most famous film productions.

On the third day the team of Mastershot organizers along with dozens of workshop participants worked in a film location, inside the Club Dragon, where pre-production process took place. The team acquainted with the site requirements and challenges that generates the complex interior of an old building in Poznan, where the club is located. Teams responsible for realizing particular tasks were created, e.g. groups responsible for: work on the script, storyboard, set design, costumes, team of cameramen, sound engineers and lighting technicians.
