I really should be in bed. I’ve got to be up and about in seven hours. This is rather irresponsible.
Despite a slow start to the day due to the late arrival of camera gear, we met our day with an hour to spare. Back-slaps and handshakes abounded. There was no shouting, no kicking of actors, no beatings of assistants. Today, I believe, was a Good Day.
On-set workflow was set up by the very capable (and available only for one day) Mr Heron the Camera Assist. Once we’d wrapped for the day, I took the footage (external hard-drive, actually), and passed it under the very discerning eyes of our post-production consultant who pronounced it “useable”. Post-production workflow, courtesy of the choice of camera, is also under control.
In short: the chances of a finished film making it out to those hardy souls who watch short films, have increased that little bit more. (As per my last post: if a no-budget feature crashes after shooting wraps, who truly sees it? No one.)
Onwards to Day Two.
