in the can

We’ve just completed most of the first act shoot ! A team comprised of Directors assistant, DOP, cameraman, art director and assistant, sound recordist. Four days of long hours, intense concentration and heavy labour - well, we did have some fun too. ha.
There’s some great footage in the can.
We ended up shooting on a Sony HDV camera - which, while not ideal, produces decent images, especially when the lighting is controlled.
The wild Auckland weather threatened us constantly with squally bursts of intense rain, then brilliant sunshine.
The ‘rushes’ are now on the hard drives, and some serious editing awaits. . .
not to mention setting up the Melbourne component of the shoot, scheduled for 8th, 9th december . .
stay tuned . .

well, it’s shoot time already ! Are we prepared ? We’ve got a camera crew, production manager and support people. Locations are locked - got some amazing situations to work with.
What’s busying us now is actors auditions. around 16 have repolied to the callout and we’re working through those in the next couple days.
A good time to get fresh input and have that inform the script.
Busy rewriting and all is looking well.
We’re to be shooting on a SONYZ1, while not being ideal, is better than standard Def and is free for us which is nice so we can spend more on food!
