It has been a few days since my last blog-post, so I must
say sorry for that! However, I do have a good reason. Last week we were at
Spring Hill College shooting and, it just so happened, the directors needed
another Production Assistant to assist them with keeping the set locked down
when we were rolling and telling people where to go, etc… So that took up all
of my time last week! But it was a really great experience for me. That is one
of the things I have benefited the most – and probably will benefit the most
from – because now, not only have I been around a movie set for close to 4
weeks now, but I have been an Extras PA, a Set PA, and a Social Media PA. I
have learned so much from this experience. I may begin to be redundant because
of how many times I have said this, but it is true. And for a guy that wants to
go into the industry, this is experience I will benefit from for the rest of my
life.
Now, just to highlight some of the things we did last week.
We spent all of our time in the Spring Hill Cathedral. Let me just go ahead and
say that the scenery and the cathedral itself were absolutely gorgeous. The
interior of the Cathedral, with its white washed walls and yellow hued tiles
and windows, was truly spectacular. The scenery just pops off the screen when
you look at the footage.
Our actors also completely nailed down
every line. I wasn’t present for the last night, but from what Jeff has told
me, we witnessed a miracle. We have been shooting an average of around 10-12 pages a day this past week. That is in and of itself a huge feat for a feature film. But we've been able to do that because our actors have done in one take, what it might’ve feasibly taken 3 or 4
takes to get right! But no, they are doing it in one. It’s really mind
boggling. But not to forget our crew, who have worked so hard and worked crazy
hours to help us get done what we needed done. They’ve all been amazing.
That’s all for now, ill update you again very soon!
