We’re gonna rock down to…….

……ELECTRIC AVENUE!

 

Great way to start a post over the last couple of weeks shooting events. We have made more progress with the filming including most of the living room scenes during a 8 hour shoot in the studio. We worked hard and had fun but by the end people were starting to lose focus (myself included) and mistakes were creeping in but overall it was a successful shoot. The day didn’t start off well with the news that one of our main actors dropped out but we shall move on and I think we have another actor currently poised to take his place as the lead punk. The set on friday was a great improvement with various camera angles and depth being allowed and I briefly stood back as a camera operator to get an overview of all the cameras in the studio but it didnt work as well as I thought it would so I ended up back in a familiar camera operating role by the end of the shoot. I had a say in where the cameras were to be positioned and we got some nice shots.

To quickly wrap this up…. we need to revise the schedule with studio and outside filming time with this new actor should he agree to help us out and I look forward to the next shoot!

Ciao for now and lets get JIBBY with it!

Past few weeks have been extremely busy due to the amount of work needed to be done for my dissertation as it came to a halt.

We had a pretty decent shoot in the studio last Friday and filmed all of Susan’s rooms however we came across some errors during the edit which we need to pick up on for when we film Linda’s room to make sure we don’t end up with similar errors which we had in Susan’s bedroom. We also have a few props which we need to collect, however they are small props which make it easy to find within our group

Helping our super group was quite fun as we get too see how other groups are working together and there’s a lot less stress when it’s not for your own project however it fun to work on something totally different to ours.

Having a hard time finding a good enough printer/size for the Queens Head poster to be printed out onto, and is still being finalized at this minute.

Slight disruption there….

Posted on by Joel Garner

The last couple of weeks have been hampered by severe weather conditions in Lincoln with a couple of shoots having to be cancelled and meetings postponed untill everyone could be here without risk. Camera cards are coming along with some done for when we film on Friday 17th and the rest to be completed over the weekend. The script is near completion with the Glue sequence planned and written down. Equipment is hired for when we shoot again and I also helped with our supergroup with three of their shoots which gave me and the others who helped some good ideas on how to make our filming more productive and fun! Now that the snow has cleared up, we can motor on and nail these scenes! Come on ladies and gentlemen!!!!!

Oh and also my apologies for not posting on here for a couple of weeks, other projects have started rolling as well and my back problem causing trouble but apart from that its all good!

Back in the room

After  a week of stress I am back on track. This week i had a bit of a reality check about the amount of work i have actually had to do, stress, but i am over that now and i am back with my full attention on the game.

After shoots had to be cancelled, due to snow.. lets hope that doesnt come back.. our schdule has been pushed back a bit – but many thansk to Sylvia and Helen for keeping up to date with that! The schdule we were using had been created, albeit knowing the actors schdules, but then the times for studios had not been avalible (sp?)

I have watched Super 8 and Killing Bono for inspiration and i think everyone should be watching them, but espicially set. It also gives you an idea of the type of lanuage that was used.

The shoots we have done so far – although small – have done well, but its all about pushing forward and getting the big ones done.

 

Thanks guys, 🙂
