Preparing Within the Haze

Greetings, one and all! Well, after the heat, we then got the fires and smoke, which have added a new wrinkle to the shoot prep. But for all that the costumes are being completed, the helmets are getting painted, and the stunt team launched into the increasingly smoky fields just long enough to block out next week’s fight scene, before heading to cleaner air.





It was a pretty fun day with the team, among its highlights was finding out that one of our stunties had taken First Place in the Novice category of the local Highland Games just the day before. Congratulations, Nathan! All your hard work paid off.

As this new short is also supposed to be a way to learn how to work with new technology, I’ve also been spending the week researching how to solve some basic problems that have cropped up in the footage (for example, the ever popular hot pixel,) using the new editor and comp software. So far, so good.

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