So we've wrapped principal photography and editing on The Reef has finally commenced!
It's SO good to be inside - not having to worry about what the weather is doing, not having to be in the water 10 hours a day, not having to re-arrange schedules everyday because of the weather conditions...and best of all - seeing the film come alive.
Editing is such a fascinating process. You sit through a long dreary compile of footage thinking "oh my god what rubbish!", but then you start to sculpt, play with the timing, rhythms, emotions, sound and suddenly that dull inert object on the screen starts to reveal itself as a true gem!
I'm also starting to get fully absorbed in the sound - the other great dimension of a thriller.
The post production process is a long road - there's so much work to do to complete the film so stay tuned for more updates.
Cheers,
Andrew

Day 20. Back in the water. What looked like a calm, still day on dry land proved to be a bit rougher once we got out in the open ocean. Each day has presented its own unique water challenges, and today was no different. A few of the crew got sea-sick in the rough water, but carried on like the troopers they are. We also filmed some scenes at one of the Marinas as well as on board our boat "Boomerang".
So our live stream is tomorrow. The cast, crew and all involved are buzzing with excitement! We've had some fantastic press support, news stories and placements - so to all the media who have come on board to support this world first, on behalf of all of us here at The Reef - thank you!
In terms of who has signed up for our live stream, we've had people from Australia, US, UK, Germany, Finland, Sweden, Austria, Japan...and the list goes on. For anyone who hasn't signed up yet, you can still do so on the LIVE STREAM page on this website.
See you on the stream tomorrow.

We've now been filming in the water for 3 weeks. That's been generally 10 hour days, 6 days a week. It's been hard for all involved dealing with being in the water for so long but the cast and crew have been troopers and as of today we're out of the ocean - for at least a little while.
We're doing some scenes on one of our boats at the moment, so i'm sure everyone is happy to be out of the water for a bit. That's not to say there's still not water involved for some lol!
Gearing up to our live stream next Thursday 5th (Aus) & 4th (US/UK), we're getting great feedback and support from media which is very encouraging, and also re-assuring to know that the hard work going into this is being recognised & appreciated.
We're also happy to say that we've got some schools & educational bodies expressing interest in how they can incorporate the streaming into their classrooms and curriculum - we're thrilled to be able to offer some insight and a rare opportunity for some behind the scenes for young budding film makers and future film buffs as well!
Stay tuned..
