ThatвЂ™s the skinny on how a short test with the C300 became вЂњHUSTLE.вЂќ It was a great experience collaborating with some very talented folks from BOSCPUG and within the city of Boston. Both Dan, Don and Baylee met me outside Felt where we wasted no time. So Dan booked Felt Boston again for a quick shoot to get 6 more shots that would be added to DanвЂ™s final cut. In addition, we wanted to get a nice overhead closeup of pool balls breaking to be inserted with a smash cut edit so we could bring the viewer inside Felt a closeup shot of PabloвЂ™s hand slamming money on the table right before he walks away a closeup of BayleeвЂ™s grinning face after she sinks a ball to seal the deal that she was in fact the hustler and finally, we needed to re-shoot the opening crane shot of the theater marquee with the C300 (I had shot the original scene myself one night with my 60D on spec). Dan felt that it needed an establishing shot of Baylee walking into Felt Boston right after the opening crane shot of the Paramount Theater to make it clear to the viewer that Balyee was in fact going into Felt and not the Paramount.

But after Dan worked towards a final cut, we thought вЂњHustleвЂќ still needed a few more pickup shots to really make it cohesive. вЂњHustleвЂќ was finally starting to take shape. When Dan returned from the SuperMeet he really took the reins on the edit to build what is now the story of вЂњHustle.вЂќ Dan found a good outtake of Pablo, the actor with the long hair, in which he seems disgusted and walks out after realizing heвЂ™d been hustled by Baylee, which further developed his character.
