Got some seriously positive feedback on the script from a friend of mine in the States, which has given me a serious boost. Just what I needed as I was starting to get a bit down about it all.

Have also made my first purchases – a set of three workman’s lights from Aldi’s (budget superstore which often have good deals on computer and DIY equipment).

They’re 500W halogen and tests prove that they are quite neutral and provide very good fill light, especially if you bounce it off a wall. Not bad for £6 each.

I’m working on the theory of using as much natural light as possible, and only artificial light for fill or night shoots.

I’ve been busy storyboarding SToA and have learnt loads, which I’ll save for another post as I really should crack on with it for now…

About Andy Coughlan

I write stuff down and try to make films out of it. Sometimes I succeed. I also code things, like Scribomatic, Brolly or Not? and Geeky Gifts.
