So we start shooting in the morning. Don't expect any blog updates until Sunday or Monday night!
JP Whearty, the producer, has almost everything sorted for the 2 1/2 days. A few last minute hiccups successfully avoided, and a few more to come no doubt, but, almost 2 years since I first joined the project, we're going to shoot.
It doesn't quite seem real. In that time we've developed two features, 6 (or is it 7?) drafts of the first, more ambitious project (it WILL need a budget, so we're parking it while we raise finance), and I'm on draft 5 of this one.
Was it a good idea to do this?
Abso-f******g-lutely!
You always find out a lot about people on these sort of shoots - how talented they really are (like our amazing designer Stephanie), how persuasive they really are (our calmly mindcontrolling producer), and who is willing to give up their time for a project with no reward. I've learnt a lot about those who are genuinely heartfelt in their willingness to help, give up their time, throw themselves into the project.
A massive thank you to all the cast and crew.
On that note, once again I have reason to thank the incredible Colin Browne at Film Equipment Hire in Lusk, who has been very supportive of the project.
If you haven't checked out their online equipment catalogue do so now - they're reliable, very reasonable, have a great range and are a joy to deal with. Their range has certainly increased over the last year to include some excellent cameras, glidecam, jib arm et cetera.
