06 Jan Blackbox Trainer Crowdfunding Video

On the set of the Blackbox Trainer Crowdfunding video

The shoot for the Blackbox Trainer app went quite smoothly compared to previous shoots I’d been involved with in the past. We had everything pretty much set up before any of the talent had showed up, and the shot list all planned out from beginning to end. Once we got everything set up, Christine and myself went about making sure I could pull her around while she worked the camera on the dolly, while Kellie Penna went about contacting the talent and Kenny Horton went about learning how to run the sound. After a few awkward attempts at pulling the dolly, we managed to figure out a way to get it to workable state that would flow for the video.

A little bit after that Adam Burke showed up and got straight to work learning how the shoot would be done. It took him a few to get his head around how the shoot was going to flow, but he eventually got it. I think he did a damn good job for being in front of the camera for the first time, you can see for yourself in the video above. Also take notice of those awesome extras that showed up to help give the video a little comedic flavor.

I think the only big issue we had was the Christmas music that was being pumped into the gym off and on for some reason. It actually provided some humor between takes while we waited for Adam to get ready for the next scene, when all of a sudden out of the silence emerged Alvin and Chipmunks singing a Christmas carol.

Hopefully you enjoy the video we all put hard work into and maybe it will get you interested in seeing what Adam Burke has in mind for Blackbox Trainer. You can find out more information about the app on the crowdfunding page.

Some words from creator Adam Burke

Starting my own company is important to me because my years in the military really made me appreciate my freedom and having your own business is really the only way to become free. What I have learned along the way is that I love creating and building ideas. Taking a vision and turning it into something tangible that provides value to the world is an exciting and rewarding process. A process that makes it is easy to work your butt off for to make happen!
