Strangest... Shoot... Ever!

That pretty much sums up our Thursday shoot. Once again we were forced to cram an all-day shoot into a couple hours, this time as the sun set...

 We weren't 100% successful, and with the changing weather, it's doubtful we'll be able to shoot there again, but we did come up with a sly in-universe explanation for the changing light. See if you can spot it when the episode comes out.

After that we had a considerably more relaxed shoot (plot exposition! Woo!)

 

 

 Also the tedious job of downloading and organizing footage has taken up a good portion of the week. All in all, a productive time. That's about all for now.

Until next time!

Well...

Good news: More filming! Bad news: No pictures. That's our week in a nutshell. Everything we've done has mostly been under the hood, filling in scenes, preparing materials, etc. Of course, the weather is changing, so a lot of effort goes toward protecting sets and raw materials that have been outdoors through the summer months.

The shoot of note this week was a somewhat sadder scene between two major characters, which would give away major plot points if I were to provide any more details.

Tomorrow we start shooting again in earnest, hoping to knock out four or five more scenes before the weekend.

That's about all for now. Until next time!

Silence Will Fall

 Okay, bit of a nerdy reference there. In this case, it's poking fun at the fact that, thanks to a combination of torrential rain, electrical storms, and the start of a school year, we have shot exactly zero footage this last week. Not to say we haven't been busy. Final costuming touches have been added to boots, rings have been made, and the column at Byd Echel has been constructed.

On top of that, we're working on the Solensgate skybridge, location of... well, you'll just have to wait and see. :-) Oh, and we've also been rewriting some of the scenes we have yet to shoot, plus editing the season 2 script. Suffice it to say that things are ticking along, in their own strange way.

Until next time!

I LIVE!

Yes, that's right ladies and gentlemen, the wild and crazy cram week is finally over and we're still up, still sane. (Well... mostly.) We finished the week up with several vital scenes, including the tense diplomacy between two sides of a certain family, the prelude to war, and Kate's experiences at a charming local village...

 

That's not to say that we're done, far from it. There are still several key scenes to film, but the crunch is over, and I'm trying to catch up on sleep. On the to-do list: the meeting at Byd Echel, several scenes with either Iallafan or Cylavar and their respective officers, and two important episodes with Aurbren. Still much to be done before winter comes. Now if I could just find my brain...

Until next time!
