First Day

Suprise

The skill of a craftsman never ceases to amaze me, and yesterday proved this over and over.  I’m lucky enough o have 4 professionals and a group of very keen and hopefully future professionals on set with me.  Mike the DOP dressed the barn yesterday and turned a disused property into a vibrant set, whith righ colours and effectively moved us back in time.  Before and after pictures to follow I promise.  Martin the sound guy, not only proved how skillful he is, but took it upon himself to teach the ’students’ [only used for want of a better word], stopping us filming to let an aircraft only he could hear [and yes that is a good thing] to pass over.  No surprises then that I got a full performance from Steve when we shot the office scene.  And how we manage to use a small office to such good effect, only god [if he existed], and possibly Mike knew.

6 inches makes all the difference

Horrific shadow as Tom stands by the window, how do you loose it? easy, you step back 6 inches and it looks like your just a close on camera.  In fact looking in the monitor, you can see a diferent world then the one in front of you.  Stunning.

Laters,

Chalkster
