STUDIO SHOOT DAY 2

With the first day of shooting over and done with, it was on to the second day to make sure we got all the rushes we needed and wrap up for the shoot. We picked up where we left off and got the scenes, equipment and actors ready. Then we wasted no time getting straight into shooting. This was going really well and we got some really beautiful rushes, however Yasmin had to leave for a hand in half way through the day. But fortunately Yasmin let us know ahead of time so we planned into our call sheet some solo scenes with just TJ and B roll footage. This was a huge success and we got a lot of really good footage. The B roll was also looking beautiful and this would help play a big part in the people who are editing the studio shoot. This allowed a little break in the day whilst this was going on for everyone to set up and prepare for when Yasmin came back. Yasmin returned and we picked up where we left off and continued to shoot. About an hour later we had to go for a lighting changed so everyone took a break and the camera team set up for the next scenes as I changed the lights. Once this was done, we got back to work straight away and got into the rhythm of the day and collected a lot of really good footage.

As we were wrapping up for the day and shooting the final scenes the camera team came across a problem. All of the footage hadn't recorded on to the Ninja that we were using. The whole point of us using the Ninja was so we could record in an Avid codec and the footage be 10bit instead of 8bit. So this caused a lot of stress within the group. However we still had all our footage which was good, so all we needed to do was just trans code it all, which would take a while, but sadly the Ninja just didn't record for us. Once that situation was resolved we packed down all the equipment that we had used, all of the props back in boxes and given back to the people who had brought them in, and put back the furniture that we had borrowed from the studio and from other people. It was sad to pack up as it had been a really exciting few days working in a studio environment. But I am eager to edit these rushes.

I hope you enjoy. Thank you.
