Deadline

Managed to secure Herman Witkam for the score. Huge, huge plus in book. I imagine people may just watch for the score alone. And why wouldnt they, Herman is an amazingly talented artist.
 
You got Herman! WHOA! I hate you officially, not really, yes really, not really, yes really, not.... good steal, Noel.
 
... I imagine people may just watch for the score alone....

Yeah, I think everyone knows who Herman is by now, or should. I don't know how he does it in the timeframe he does it in. Literally hours. Amazingly talented guy.
 
Shoot time is here! Will be shooting next three nights then edit insanity will prevail.
 
Good shoot last night. Touch drawn out due to a location sound issue where we had to wait for the property manager to drive down and sort it out. Three phone calls yesterday apparently wasnt enough to remind the person about switching something off. Got some pretty pictures.
 
Its in the can.

My poor cast and crew just endured a shoot that was beyond anything anyone could ask of anyone. 3.27 am here now, and we just finished a 9 hour shoot of which 6 hours were exterior in torrential rain. In fact we had to abandon the location before we could get the last shot due to the fact that the bridge we crossed to the location was starting to disappear underwater, yes our location was flooding. One of the crew came running up and said the bridge is going under. I looked around and we were surrounded by water. We pulled down the set in record time. The generator did an amazing job as when we went over to it, it was actually fully half under water. I almost abandoned some lighting, the water was rising so fast. But we managed to get everything and everyone out. I was last running across the bridge that was starting to get some real speed to the water on top. Another 15 minutes and we would have had to camp on the hill on the other side for the night. Not a good thing as we were all starting to get pretty soaked through.

Showers and a hot dinner brought back the smiles.
 
Dang, sounds like a disaster thriller making the (suspense?) thriller. Nice job getting it shot. Can't wait to see it.
 
Damn you should have just filmed you guys trying to get out of location before you got flooded in...that would be an awesome short I think!

Looking forward to seeing it.
 
Glad you all made it out with your LIFES!!!! Seriously the behind the scenes footage would probably make an interesting film.
 
Cheers all. Edits coming along nicely. Things are much more relaxed...considering the "deadline" ...
 
Rough is coming along nicely. I spent a lot of time on storyboards / shots, and they are all cutting together as Id expected.
 
SMASH - the canon 5d crashes through the window and out onto the road...

Anyway, did some audio pick ups early in the week. Trying to organise a shot pick up and foley day tomorrow. Im actually a little bit ahead of where I though I would be. Should have a locked cut later today - then ship it off to Herman.
