Last Thursday we went on a not so secret mission to 'pick-up' some shots for the film. There are many reasons for doing this. Primarily in this instance there was an aspect of the script that had been heavily debated in the development stages and had become kind of diluted by the time we shot the film.
It was impossible to tell this at the time, but with hindsight (and a little blindness along the way) I felt that the potential for a couple of extra shots to help the movie along would greatly enhance the final outcome. The rushes (exposed film) arrived this morning. They will be mute until we can get our hands on an Avid but we'll be able to see what's going on soon enough and whether or not the shots will cut into the film.
Tense times.

I have loads of stuff to put here on the blog but I've been rushed off my feet in the last couple of weeks. Normal intermittent service will resume tomorrow when we have wrapped our film.
Today is the last day of the shoot for I Love Luci. It's been a blast so far but we have arguably our hardest stuff to do in the middle of the night tonight so it's very far from over. I am happy so far but we have a way to go.
Here's a wee snap of our fantastic focus puller, Derrick Peters, checking the gate. For those of you unfamiliar with film we check the gate (the little window where the film is exposed to the light from the lens) after each take to see if there is any crap in there that could have interfered with the quality of the image we're trying to get. This is one of the focus pullers jobs.
