melbourne shoot complete
Wednesday, December 12th, 2007Unfortunately we left a case of character clothing in New Zealand. No worries, we’ll get it couriered. We did, but the wrong case got sent! We’ll shoot something back in New Zealand that will take care of the continuity issues…aah the joys of multi-island shooting . . .
The day’s shoot went well with Gil Tucker, Chloe Gavin and Marco Maglaic in acting roles. It just so happened that James Solomon from New Zealand was in Australia and he signed on as DOP, we gave him the extra challenge of shooting with one small light only. He rigged some nice bounceboards and did a stellar job. Also thanks to Erin McDonald who helped in so many ways . .

Funniest part of the day was the production van - usually used as a Fruit and Veg delivery vehicle, the rear is a refrigerated unit with no windows thus complete darkness, the insulation nicely cutting sound as well. So the crew rode around Melbourne in this ’sens dep’ chamber, luckily they were good humoured about it - hey there was a bean bag in there . .
So all progressing well, just a few more shots to put in the can back in NZ, to tidy things up . .
