Longer Days, Shorter Days

As the days are creeping in, it seems the weather and shooting window for Roanoke: The Lost Colony is also approaching with speed. Currently I am sorting the 80 odd scenes into a specific order for shooting on the day. This includes transitional shots, CGI shots and specific cutaways that should be counted as a shot on their own instead of a listening to the "storyboard" ideas as it were. I have only the final two days of shooting to go (which comprises of around 30 scenes) and then it will be time to settle down to the camera angels for each scene, making sure to focus on specific stories within the scene and make the shots "interesting".

All this work is set to occur during the "pre-October 5th" work schedule. By the end we should have a large document available with all shots in order, camera angles attached - props, make-up and costumes included for each scene.....

Sadly this means the blog isn't getting the full attention it deserves as it's vital to finish these documents. I do believe Gary (set design) has an interesting blog coming soon in regards to a certain part of Roanoke.

Ohh, on another note, we now have LightScribe technology on the computer, which sounds rather impressive but really relates to a high quality presentation function for DVD's...with this in place I’ll send out the trailer DVD's for all those who requested one.... :-D

Keep Smiling,
