On Tuesday I filmed in the Green Studio all day. With just 45 minutes sleep from completing the final storyboard, the night before.
I was still coming up with new ideas at 4 in the morning, but decided that it was too late to start anything new. So i chose to refer back to one of my earlier storyboards and just enhance and tweak the ideas a little.
What i ended up with was a flowing story looking into the personal spaces of multiple characters, which entered into three different locations.
I started by filming each of the 3 scenes separately, with the adjoining characters going off screen, then coming back on in the new scene to create cuts in the footage.
However, i decided to go risky and attempt to film the whole film with no cuts from start to finish. This meant that the actors had to come on set at certain times, usually when one of the other characters was 'in their personal space'.
Amazingly, on the 2nd try of this mammoth shoot, i got a perfect take, with all the characters remembering when to come in and when and where to move to and from.
Thanks to the help of Margarita, Lexi, Duncan, Caz, Steve and Maggie, i have a seamless 6:30 minute take of my film.
I'm feeling 90% less stressed now that i have all of the footage i need from the green studio.
I just have to go out and re-film some of my backgrounds, then it's edit, edit, edit!!!
