Musings of an Idiot

Day-1 of FIVE

It is Tuesday and I have just got some time to do a small but quick update on 'Five'.

Sunday was an extremely long day and a huge challenge but it turned out to be a fantastic day. First day of any feature shoot is always tough because the cast and crew are trying to find the rhythm of the movie as they go along. I felt really lucky to be working with such a talented bunch of people because everyone found their rhythm really quick. I have digitized all the footage from the day's shoot and all we need is 3 pickup shots (not scenes - just shots) and it looks fantastic. So I am really chuffed and the great thing was everyone had fun while doing it. I can't describe how satisfying that feeling is. We also have some fantastic behind the scenes footage but for now here are some of the photos from this Sunday (click to enlarge photos):

On Monday evening I caught up with Lance and Benji for a camera dept. meeting and told them my thoughts over Sunday's shoot and also had a small briefing for this coming weekend's shoot. Today, earlier in the evening I caught up with Mike - the art director, to discuss the art department requirements. I have already done the schedule for this weekend and now have to work out the logistics of everything.

Am I enjoying it? Every single moment of it.
Till later,
Amit
