Week 9 The Final Countdown

This is the last week leading up to shooting. Just finished doing a job as 2nd Assistant Director on a local short film Click Clack Click. It was a very interesting couple of days learning all the paperwork aspect of 2nd ADing, looking after the actors. The actors were all very cool people and really nice to work with. Lots of Props, Costumes, Sets being constructed at the moment. Very very proud of everyone's efforts thus far. We are getting things done at a good rate. Feeling very excited about the shoot.

Week 8 The Reckoning

So this week our Rialto 48 hour team got into the dunedin finals I still am unsure as to how I feel about this. Probably pretty nervous about the night but it should be ok I'll be there next saturday. The Cinematic pre production is in full swing with this weekend being our first bash at props, costumes and sets. I am very confident in my team as they are all very professional and highly motivated to make this project a reality. I can't wait to see what the crew come up with.

Week 7 Grounding down the script

Hey all this week we managed to get the script finalised. On monday me and callum and seth had a writing session, we finalised all the details and figured out a cool way to tie the main characters together more cohesively. By making the antagonist the very person who made the protagonist the very person they are. This really increases the overall weight of the script I think. So I took the script to the storyboard artists and they managed to storyboard three of the pages so far. I've been applying all the work I did in second year in film history about story structure. e.g. Vladimir Propps character traits and story structures. Also working in the old greek myths. Next week we should have the storyboards done and the art team will be under way with their various tasks of constructing the props and the costumes. See ya next week
