The making of "Green Log Home" - the television series.

Follow our progress as we film 'Green Log Home' - the television series. We are currently filming the pilot. Check back soon for trailer and out-takes.

The entire show is being filmed in High Definition format. This will bring the imagery to life, making you feel as though you were there. In keeping with our "green methodology" we have chosen to use a completely tapeless workflow. The Panasonic P2 format will enable all of our HD footage to be ready for editing as it is recorded directly onto hard drives. We are using the Panasonic Lumix camera for still photography, it incorporates a Leica lens that produces stunning pictures.

This show will far surpass the average reality based series. In order to be the best show of its kind, we have enlisted some of the top talents in television today. Our Talent will consist of Robin Wilson, http://robinwilsonhome.com, as the on screen talent. Dominic Chianese (Uncle Jr. from the Sopranos) as the voice over narration for the show. Our director, Todd Broder has worked on "Extreme Home Makeover", as well as many other reality based shows. He is well versed in directing this type of programming. Todd will capture the emotions and precious moments that will make "Green Log Home" both entertaining and educational to the audience.

The editors at Refinery will create the story through imagery. Sifting through countless hours of High-Definition footage to hone the perfect cut will make the "Green Log Home" show stand above the usual reality show. Storytelling is what they do best and with a roster of 6 talented editors our show is sure to be a success. The perfect mix between editing and graphics will give the show a polished look not often found on reality "makeover" shows .

All of the sound on the "Green Log Home" show will be custom tailored to the segments to give it a unique feel. Most often overlook the importance of great sound, just think of how sound changed silent movies forever. Not to be forgotten is the mix. Its all in the mix.
