Watch This Man’s Life from Smithy Sipes on Vimeo:

“This is a piece from a film we did with Michael Rooker and Bill Cobbs. They were both wonderful actors to work with and we had a fabulous time filming. The interesting thing about this film is that we had a train owner lend us his train and private track to film on but it was only so long which led to some creative filmmaking. We had to do all the lines from a scene down the tack in one direction and then when we went back down the track in the other direction we had to flip everyone in the train to make the light source appear on the same side of the windows. This took quite a bit of coordination as not all scenes we shot in order and we had to remember from scene to scene what the degree of the sun in the sky was in the scene before to make it seem as one continuous day.”
