It’s been a busy day – working breakfast at 10am – getting back home at 11pm – after sorting out costumes, rehearsals and shooting schedules. We’re shooting the film from March the 3rd – 7th in Liverpool. I have the crew sorted now, the locations and the lead actors. I still need more extras and there’s a lot more organizing to do.

Tomorrow more costumes to buy too. I can see why there are so many people’s names on those credits now – I think when spread out from production – post I have a crew of 15, and still I feel that I need more. I’m doing the costume and make-up myself and everyone needs more assistants.  Everything is working out though – I’ll be exhausted by the end of it but who isn’t after making a film?!

Also I’ll be putting up daily posts with photos during the shooting days from the 3rd – 7th! So everyone can keep up with how it’s all going along. I’ve been meaning to get twitter too – it’ll have to wait during this shoot – but I’ll have a fully working account by the end of March.

Long live the internet. ..I’m tired,) have a good night all and good morning America!

Amy.

Me and my housemate thought we would try the internet Meme ‘The Cinnamon Challenge’. Basically you have to eat a tablespoon of cinnamon in under 60seconds…well it made me throw up,) plus there’s some shameless self promotion in there – whilst Alan was coughing up the cinnamon ‘I thought I would move the camera to something  a lot prettier…

 

 

Hello, I’m nearly ready to start filming, the dates are planned to be from the 4th-8th of March. I had another location scout today with my Art Director. Things are starting to become a lot clearer and we now have all of our locations sorted. The angel wing props are being made this week and I still have a lot of extras to find. I now have A DOP, a Producer, an Art Director, the lead actors and Composer. I still need to find a Sound Recordist in Liverpool with their own equipment. Hopefully it won’t be a mad rush at the end to get everything done but I do feel more so on top of things than in any of my own previous productions.

I’m still unsure which underground station to shoot at we have two possible locations:

I’ve been trying to make a model puppet for my stop frame animation ‘The Monster’s under my bed’ for the past week. I’m using hollow polystyrene eggs. The idea was to make a fully movable model but it failed since polystyrene is so fragile and the hinge on the monsters jaw which I stuck on with pins made holes in the side of the monsters face; which soon collapsed,) No worries it’s just a test to see what material’s work. I’m going to make the animation around the middle of March.

I found these guys on You Tube a month ago. Can’t help but find them funny… is it just me?

 

I’m knacked, I woke up today only to find a bug on my site which made it impossible for anyone to leave a comment on it. So I spent hrs. Groaning at my computer screen and trying to find a solution.  Only to find that it was reoccurring problem on all users of my last Word Press theme so I’ve had to change themes. I hope you like the new look of the site! It’s more stylish than the last one and a bit more organised.

I’d also like to say Thank you and hello to all my new subscribers! (Thanks to the power of FB)

On an additional note I have found and cast the two leads in my next film! I spent weeks auditioning and re-auditioning people so I’m certain I have the right actors now. Filming is supposed to begin starting on the 4th of March – two weeks away and I have 2 more locations to find, tons of extras and I haven’t even started to build the massive angel wings (Realistic angel wings prop).

So much work to do…
