I've been meaning to write sooner to let you know about our first shoot, but I've been so consumed by it I haven't thought to stop and take the time to give you an update. Well that time is now. The morning of the shoot. I thought I'd get a quick post out before it all happens. A before, followed by an after.
This first short is very contained, with no faces or dialogue, just hands and phones (you can see most of the cast above). We're shooting in one location, but dressing it to look like ten!
It's been a very busy week or two for me. What appears to be a nice little idea has actually demanded a great deal of meticulous preparation. It's a bit of a jigsaw puzzle, and every piece has to align perfectly. More on that later!
Our crew is very small. Rupert Brown is our DoP (Director of Photography), Esta Lau is Producer and Andrew Bell is our one man Art Department. On top of that we have seven generous part-time hand models coming in to lend a hand. Quite literally.
I should probably be getting along now. I'm sure I'll be do a more detailed post afterwards. See you on the other side.
