Plus, we’ll give you access to view the actual shot list Matt created to get some amazing visuals.
What is a shot list?
What is a shot list?
Matt doesn't wait for the salt & sand to wash-off before planning his final cut. He starts his process by building a shot list.
A shot list is a breakdown of the elements of each shot during production: timecode, shot, camera, shot size, equipment, lens and location. Shot lists are used to keep track of everything recorded during a shoot. They are also used to organize recorded footage for post-production sequencing.
24 HOURS IN MATT'S BOOTS:
In this particular shoot, Matt had 4 locations.
He started-out in Lake Tahoe for an early morning, sunrise, hike.
Then, after the hike, he went to Squaw valley and snowboarded in the early afternoon.
After the early afternoon snowboarding, he got in a flight back to where he's from, Orange County, where he went cliff jumping at the spot he grew up cliff jumping at.
From there, he got picked up by a helicopter and did a sundown, night time ride over downtown LA.
Think you could keep all of these locations together?
