Almost there...

Almost got all of the footage now, and only one more shoot to go (When I can get all the people I need in one place!). After a while of shooting, and listening to the dialogue, I often decide to change the script on set, which surprised me a little, as I had already done a read through with the actors, which sounded fine. Likewise there also some things that we are adding entirely, like small bits of dialogue and shots. However I am very pleased to see that after couple of days shooting, Stanley and his mother Helen, have both improved greatly in their acting since day one. But I'm not surprised that my writing needed adjustments in places, as it is my weakest area. 

I've now started my first rough edit, with no effects or colour grading, and so far it's definitely coming together well, reaching about 5 minutes 50. And again adding in some new shots or putting them in a different order.

Second Shoot!

Today we had another shoot at Stanley's house, which went a lot better than the last because we got a lot more done in the time that we had, we even re-shot the first half of day one in under an hour. Overall I think it is really coming together, and watching all of the scenes coming to life in front of me is very satisfying. The nest stage is to start a rough edit for the footage that I already have, then later next week I will film another portion of the footage.

The First Shoot!

Today was the first shoot day for my film and, I am quite pleased with the footage so far. At this point I've done most of the dialogue heavy parts of the film and will be moving onto some of the VFX parts tomorrow. However after looking at some of the footage I think I'll have to do a few pickup shots as well.
