Recently in Rounding Up Donkeys Category
Sigma is in full flight at the moment. As well as interesting rumblings about new projects things are in production, so all hands are to the pump night and day.
Rounding Up Donkeys is bowling along; now into gruelling night shoots and at the mercy of the seasonal Scottish climate. However, spirits seemed un-dampened when I visited the set last night.
Tomorrow sees the first and only day of principal photography for the We Are The Physics video. I'm looking forwards to it although the nerves are starting to jangle somewhat - sweaty palms.
There will be a 'making of' crew and stills photographer on the set so there should be some snippets of the goings on released shortly. Probably the best place to look out for any news on this front is the labels site. If you check out the 'making of' for Blood Red Shoes listen carefully to the sound at the start, I love it,
I'm just going to take this moment to say a huge thanks to all that have helped so far with this job. I will post a precise list with links to all the relevant places after the shoot but for the mo here''s an incomplete one:
Beth and Blair at Forest of Black
Nick Aiton (DP)
Donald Campbell (Gaffer)
Kara Ramsay (Designer)
Steph (Props hire)
Nicole Stafford (Make-up and Costume)
Nicola (Make-up trainee)
David Arthur (Editor and stills)
Aaron Bevan-Bailey (graphic artist)
Maria Noebauer (Model)
Kahleen Crawford (Casting)
Brian and Donald at Progressive Broadcast
Dom (Runner)
and anyone else who has helped us out with this shoot - many thanks, it's much appreciated.

"That's the first time we've had one of them, fucking cool."I presume he's talking about the digi slate. I have to say, I'm a little jealous, we don't have one of them. Instead we have pilfered the old slate from Hallam Foe so it will be pressed into service again tomorrow.

Sigma Films started shooting Rounding Up Donkeys today.
It was very exciting to present on the set of the next Sigma film, to meet the cast and crew and generally hang out as everyone went about their business. For some the process of making films is marginally less interesting than watching paint go through its proverbial motions, but for the keener eye it's a fascinating thing glimpsing the capture of all the tiny fragments for the jigsaw.
