Much like the protagonist of the film, production was a rush! Across five days of shooting, each day had multiple locations and actors to film. Noelia and I were in constant flux to be able to shoot in as many places as possible.

Because of this we don't have many photos. Here are some photos of the first day of production with actor Moon Ho Kim.

Special Delivery Demo:
May 26th, 2022

Time With Me was conceived all the way back in 2022, this is the earliest footage of what was to come. The biggest challenge was figuring out how to shoot someone moving at high speeds, I don't have a bike so I used my skateboard. The demo was fun to shoot and to watch so I knew I had something here.

Saratoga Stablizer Test:
April 12th, 2023

Multiple tests were done to see how I could film someone riding a bike, most of which consisted of a special rig I built using clamps and tubes to hold the stabilizer with camera on top. This test was done the day before the first bike shoot, that is how close these tests were.

I had my work cut out for me when searching for locations to film in. Manhattan is huge and it took months of research and scouting to find places that are good to film in. I was looking for places that were safe for cycling, easy to get to, and aesthetically pleasing. All this work was necessary to plan out the production and it was joyous to travel around the city. Maybe you can recognize these locations?
