My older brother, Karl Kim, is the Director of Photography for a new show “Alien Dawn“, which premieres this Friday, February 22 at 10pm EST on Nicktoons.
It’s a kid’s science fiction/action show with a simple theme: skateboarding teens fight aliens. While it is a very low-budget production, it has the look and feel of a much more expensive drama. The entire 1st season was filmed by Karl and a skeleton crew of just a couple assistants. Executives from other networks (think the big kids network that starts with the letter “D”) commented that they thought each episode cost at least 5x what it did. You can read about Karl’s run-n-gun production by following his blog, Karl’s Gigs n Gear Chatter.
Production started with the typical Red Epic but soon switched to a Sony FS100s due to data issues with the Red.
Check it out on Friday!
