All Stations GO

It's been a long time coming and it's really quite suriel that it's about to come around again and we are going back on set to finish Roanoke.

For those who arn't 100% involved in the script or are just interested, this second half of shooting is alot darker in places, more cinematic shots in regards to what one might expect from sets, emotions etc and overall a different feel to it. Now we haven't shot the first half of the movie and now the second, for instance the first shot we ever shot of the movie was the last shot...if that makes sence.

As Dan mentioned below it is also a first in regards to the shooting schedule for Roanoke for night shoots and wet weather shoots. Alot more preperation has been done on my side as producer to make sure that all crew have warmth, cover, and adequete resources avalible to them in order to take them through the night. That is the part i'm rather nervous about, although its hard to tell whether it really is nerves or excitment; quite boring'ly i'm guessing its a form of both.



We have all 6 crew members back with us on Wednesday, but sadly we will be missing out on our two very important members on the Art Department. They have been working very hard (as I have been informed) in creating the sets for the beach at Fleet Pond, i'm looking forward to seeing them very much.

By the way, the great thing about a blog is that your grammer and spelling don't have to be perfect, I just thought i'd point that part out, as it is that part that I particullary enjoy. In a way it's sort of 16th Century, where spelling was how one wanted it to be without a standard practise. In fact I guess I am simply making up the bad grammer and spelling in order to make this blog more authentic to our period piece....hmmm, not sure the courts would take that one.

Tomorrow is all about collecting equipment from various different places, along with 25 folding chairs, which should be fun. On Wednesday night we will be ending when it is dark and therefore we have decided to camp out where the Unit base is in order to make sure all the marque's and tents stay safe through the night. This seems like a brilliant idea until it starts to rain, but I do believe it could be quite alot of fun. Hopefully all the crew will remember to bring a sleeping bag of some form!

This may mean ofcourse that we might not get the Wednesday pictures up on the blog until Thursday afternoon after shooting.

Until tomorrow then!

Good night!
