So getting a group together for this challenge.... slightly late.... hence the team name...

We've actually been talking about it since the beginning of last week, but didn't want to start a WIP until it was really happening, and we just managed to get some actors and do a mini road-trip to the desert near San Diego and shoot it today so it's finally starting to come together.

I'll post up some storyboards or the animatic shortly. We are going a bit of a different direction with the bad weather theme...

Here is a rough 2d animatic we used to get an idea of shot comp and timing.

Here is the rough cut of our submission. It was a race against the sun but we were able to grab about 3 or 4 takes of each shot before the sun set behind the mountains.



We shot on the edge of the gorgeous Anza-Borrego desert about 1 1/2 east of San Diego. Here's a map of exactly where we shot. If you get a chance really zoom in with the satellite. It was a pretty amazing find. There were irrigation hoses and posts all over from where they used to farm.
