3 DAYS SHOOOTING - DONE

As i explained before i mean film shooting not gun shoooting (no alex, once again, not rifle shooting!) so anyway this weekend just gone I had 2 days of filming with the "Getting Even" crew for my short film then on the monday a lovely day in Belair National Park for the music video with "We Grow Up".
Saturdays filming schedule was slightly mad as we changed the whole arrangement of scenes to film after realising that the actress would have to change costume and have her hair redone like a gazillion times, and it worked out better to do all the scenes in one costume and then change to another. Yes granted we should have checked the schedule before but it's one of those things you dont really notice until the time, but hopefully not too many noses were put out of joint. and a big thanks to our actors who were very understanding and worked soo well!! you made the film!!
The day went pretty well dispite all the changes and we even managed to finish about 3 hours early, which was great for the guys who were heading out in the vity (it was saturday night after all) We were also sponsored by Subway that day so had two massive platters! There were leftovers which the boys at home were very pleased about when i came back with lots of leftovers.
Second day filming was a lot more blaze, we managed to go over schedule by about 2 hours but i dont think anyone was really that bothered and we got all the filming done we needed. A few crew members made cameo appearances which was all good and we even had enough money in the budget left over for pizza lunch. (although our budget could have probably been used more wisely as we had a million snacks left over - once again the boys were happy and our filming the next day benefitted)
The lovely Chrissy and I also went for a drink after to have a debrief session and to plan for our next filming day. the music video.
We already had completed the filming of the doll and now had to concentrate on the band. There were slight dramas as the band thought we were starting half an hour after we planned and then got lost! But then the cd player packed up so we couldnt even film them with the backing track, until chrissy managed to get to a music shop and get a new one (not planned in our budget - whoops!)
So anyway other than a few minor hiccups the day went well, we finished pretty early considering and I even got to make a cameo which will be at the start (hopefully).
After 3 days i was pretty tired and was now known as the time and continuity nazi! Sorry everyone but i wanted it to be perfect!! ha ha, and you dont have to work with me again!
And i even managed to go for a 7km run (which was actually the only time my headache stopped) and got my loan through, yay! (sorry for being grumpy on the phone mother)
