Rehearsals, Blocking, Action!

Thursday, October 08, 2009

Had a great session with the actors today - finally hit the water for rehearsals and did some blocking.

Always amazes me how you can talk,  talk and talk about a script, however it is so much more useful to block the scenes - especially in the environment you'll be filming in (which for our movie is mostly the ocean).  

For those reading who aren't familiar with the term, "blocking" is essentially designing how you'll shoot the scene, the camera angles & movements, and the action & dialogue delivery from the cast.  

Tomorrow is the last rehearsal and work day before we start shooting on Monday - BRING IT ON!



 

Countdown to filming...

Monday, October 05, 2009

A week until filming.  Always difficult time - how ready am i really?

The big unknown with this is the weather...as we are filming on location and not in a studio, we are so weather dependant that if we cop too many bad days we'll be in trouble.   

Woke up this morning to 30Km/h South Easterlies - the water was terrible.  Can we really luck in and not get this wind whilst shooting?

Stay tuned...
