Interviewing Lucky in the West Bottoms using a Wheelchair!

On Saturday we went scouting down in the West Bottoms. That's where Lucky met The Brothers.

We found this great location in an alley between two very old industrial buildings. It was a long wall with a graffiti mural that extended the length of the wall. A smoothly paved receiving dock was right in front of the mural. I immediately got the idea to have Lucky walk along the wall for his interview while we pull the camera mounted on a wheelchair in front of him. We immediately went on Craigslist and purchased an old wheelchair for $25.

The next morning before the shoot I braced the wheelchair up with some 2x4's. That made it sturdy enough to mount a tripod and get a smooth shot of Lucky's walking interview.

The cinematography of the interview was great! That wheelchair did the trick and it looks great!

Here is a screen shot of Lucky from the camera mounted on the wheelchair!
