Birth of a Knight

Well, that was entertaining... This last week has been a roller coaster ride through obstacles both typical and totally out of the blue. With the prep work culminating in the Friday shoot, inertia had built up to a point where the show must indeed go on. Suddenly, thirty minutes from call time, Becca texts that something unforeseen had come up and she couldn't make it. The ball was already rolling, and people were on their way, so a quick phone call and crash course later Elizabeth had taken on the role of the Knight, and we had divided into two teams to get the shoot rolling.

Team A went to a local graveyard to set up the opening scene, whilst Team B stayed behind to do the makeup work for the Knight.
 
 
After that, we met up again and set out for the second location, a forest trail that would backdrop the fateful meeting.

 
 
 
All told, even with the unexpected recast, we finished on time, with only an average number of issues to fix in the editing suite. Another shoot has been slated for Friday night, but with the impending rain, it remains to be seen if that will happen.

Well, that's about all for this week. Until next time
