And so it begins, the next step up the big filmmaking ladder. I’ve spent the whole day preparing for the weekends shoot. I’m totally paranoid something is going to go horribly wrong at the last minute, but so far, it’s holding together nicely.
Amber has completed as much of the book as we need for the weekend shoot, and boy does it look good. It’s all wrapped up at the second, but once we’ve unwarpped it again I’ll post some pictures up of it, it looks amazing. I feel sorry for Amber, she’s put tonnes of work into rehearsals and making the book and dressing the set ready for the shoot, and she’s going to miss tomorrows events as she’s got to work. What a bugger.
I think we’re all prepared now, though. We have book, computers, LCD screens, nametags, scanners, more books, pictures, sheets, CDs, DVDs, crayons, glue, clocks and a hundred other items which we’ll need in the next two days. I’m amazed I’ve been so organised.
I’ve shown a few people the rough edit of last weeks shoot and generally they are very positive about it and providing me with some very useful feedback (and that’s without the soundtrack sorted).
We had a cracking thunderstorm here this evening, so I was out with the Sennheiser recording it to put into the film. I tried to shoot some of the lighting bolts, but realised too late I had the exposure all wrong. Buggrit.
