18/08/06 - READY TO ROLL ON SHOOT DAY 2!

Just a quick update to say that we are hours away from starting a full weekend shoot.
One addition to the second day of shooting will be extra hands who are coming to help for their CV, or just for fun. Others coming to watch. All are welcome as if they are interested, then they will be excited and enthusiastic, and that can only spread!
I have sorted out some catering and also some extra jobs that can be given to anyone willing to help. I don't care what anyone says....anyone can hold a damn boom mic!

The Saturday shoot is still weather dependant...but once again (see previous post) I have multiple backup options! Rain, snow, hail, or the apocolypse will not stop me getting some awesome shots this weekend! I am 100% adaptable (the rain may even make for some stunning shots!).

I have some new props...you'll be amazed how much a toy BB gun can look like a real one on camera! So many things have happened or are in place that are really covered in principle by previous posts...so wont bore you.

So....night before...maybe this is just my work style, but I treat it like a sportsman the day before a big match or event. Get in the zone...get organised...check your camera gear, check your props, run over your shot choices again, check the script again, think through the pacing, think about your cast and crew, how each works best, who is doing what.....leave NOTHING to chance! The more prep you can get done day before....the more fun you can have on set!

Let's roll! See you on set!
