Stormborn: Days 12 and 13

Greetings, one and all! This week was an interesting mix. Thursday, we started off with training one of our new actors for his scenes.
Friday, we rushed one of our larger groups of stunties and extras off to an all day forest shoot, including a battle scene.


Sunday saw a short costuming session for our coming shoots, running in parallel with yet another revision of the choreography for our Friday shoot, followed by the team cutting loose in the largest skirmish since the tournament two years ago.

Monday was... interesting. We shot three scenes in a local park, and our actors did very well. However, an ever growing collection of what can only be described as drunk-and-disorderlies seemed intent on ruining our takes.



We may be able to edit around it, or an extensive ADR session may be required. Only time will tell. Thinking about it, given how long we've been doing this, I'm thankful that this is the first time bystanders have actively caused trouble. Up until now, they have either been oblivious, or actually quite respectful, sharing the public spaces with us.
 
At the time of writing, we have two official shoot days left with our lead. Add onto that a couple scenes with supporting characters, and a day or two for the prologue shoot. But most of that can wait. Right now, we're focusing on those last two days with our lead, which promise to be quite the sprint, with one shoot very early Friday, and two more Sunday afternoon.

We'll see you on the other side...
