Early thoughts on Test Shoot Day One: 23/11/08

More detailed accounts of the somewhat disastrous first day of the test shoot will follow, I'm sure, but in brief, here are things to think about:

  • The weather: It rained heavily. Very heavily. So, in future, we've got to check the weather forecast, and be prepared for delays on the filming process. Somebody's got to lie down on that ground.
  • The temperature: Filming at night means conditions are bitter, and it's not going to get any better as we move further into Winter. I for one will be wearing two pairs of socks from now on. And gloves. And a hat. And generally any clothes I can think of. It's our responsibility to keep any actors we're getting in dry, warm and alive.
  • The storyboard: Now that we've all seen the location, storyboarding has become much easier. Well, that's one good thing.
  • The permission: Yes... well, hopefully by tomorrow afternoon we'll be able to film at our location without getting chucked out/ locked in. Both of which almost happened.

By the way, if anyone (by which I mean Nick, Simon or Matt) reads this, where are we meeting tomorrow?
