Over the Last Few Weeks...

...we've had alot going on in the Roanoke corner. Firstly it was great to get back together with everyone during the five days of re-shoots.

The re-shoots went down very well and it was fabulous to see the actors bring their characters back to life for a final time, adding further plot lines and character to their....well characters.

Congratulations to all the actors (not just those involved in the re-shoots) for portraying the emotionally and physically challenging roles to the highest degree.

It is great to finally say the video edit of the production is over. It is now down to the final compositions of music and the audio edit to polish off the feature film. These steps will hopefully be completed over the next 4 weeks, from there it will be down to a few test screenings to let us know which bits should be tweaked and tightened in order to portray this tale of hope and adventure to the greatest degree.

Soon, Soon....

Shooting is over! (Well nearly...)

As well as the other re-shoots we had to do, we made a last minute decision to return to the S.S. Great Britain in Bristol to re-shoot a scene that we had done before, and this took place on Thursday. The reason we decided to go back was beacause unfortunatly, the first time we were there, a catering van got in shot of some of the close ups, but luckily only in the one scene!

We spent an hour on the dock (the boat itself is too modern for the era), and unlike the other re-shoots, which have been new scenes, this was shot in exactly the same way as the first time around.

Although this was technically the last shooting day of Roanoke, we still have a day of recording James Alexander (Sir Walter Raleigh) in a studio for some voiceover lines, and another day spent in front of a green screen, again in the studio.

Apart from that, Bertie is still cutting together all the footage we have (and i can't wait to see it!), and still has to finish adding the final audio to it as it was recorded seperatly for better quality.

As well as this, the music has to be added, a vital part to any movie! As well as the small amount of CGI that has to be done.

Though this is around the third final day we've had, I'll say again that it has been a pleasure to work with everyone on this production, and I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product!

Very tired but a few pics

We're all very tired from two re-shoot days on the Golden Hinde and The Underwater scene, and I'll write an update date soon, however here are a few pics from the underwater camera, with Angela providing a mini video clip and some other images soon of behind the scenes and how it all worked.

Tonight.....

Is underwater night...more pictures and videos to follow in the first day of re-shoots and the most ambitious shoot day of all.
