Weekend Shoot
I am currently feeling drained and exhausted but very happy at the same time. We had a fantastic shoot over the weekend and we got 5 scenes done over a 4 hour period spread over saturday night and sunday afternoon. Day light savings kicked in this morning and we've had to move our clocks forward by an hour - which meant 1 less hour of sleep this morning and I guess that's added to the exhaustion.
I am happy because the performances from Simon and Michelle were spot on and the scene between Simon and me went really well too. I am really looking forward to finishing off the rough cut on those scenes before my trip to India. I also managed to do a rough cut of the scene between Tarun and me and the down side of it is that we'll have to ADR the whole scene because the location audio is unusable because of background music.
Overall we have 10 scenes in the bag and it is scary to think that I have been operating a camera on 6 of those scenes. It isn't too bad I guess - considering that we are shooting in a dual camera setup and the workload is being shared by several other people on each different shoot {and I am competent at camera work I suppose - at least I won't have anyone else to blame if I screw up the footage }. We've got another 12 scenes odd to shoot and I guess that's something that I'll be going full steam on once I come back from India. In the meantime though Michelle is work shopping and developing scenes with a couple of actors while I am away to speed up the process. And we have locked down on one of the scenes between Lauren and me while the workshop to lock another one down is due this tuesday.
I have a full week of night shifts this coming week - which will give me the time for the rough cut plus as an added bonus my body clock will be closer to Indian time- a great way to prepare for the trip I reckon. :-) That's the update on the movie for now.
Till later,
Amit
