Studio Shoot - Day 2

With the first day wrapped it seemed as though there was a mood amongst the whole group of real determination and pride to do just as well in the second day. We picked up where we left off and began shooting the scenes that were needed. Every seemed very enthusiastic which was brilliant and just made it a nice feeling to be on set. The day was going very well until the point that our actress, Yasmin told us that she had an important hand in that was due which she needed to finish. Thankfully she told us this in advance the day before so we were able to amend the timesheet and make it so we filmed all of her scenes first. When it came to the time that Yasmin did have to leave us it was absolutely fine as we'd successfully filmed everything we needed with her, thus calling a wrap for Yasmin on the shoot. After she left we began to shoot all of TJ's solo scenes and even had time to film some B-Roll footage. Thankfully nothing went wrong when filming on the second day and we were well ahead of time.

Having said this, just before wrapping the whole production it became aware that the footage we had been filming hadn't been recorded on the Ninja. The reason as to why we were using the Ninja was so that we could record in a 10bit Avid codec instead of an 8bit. Obviously this caused a slight upset for the group but it definitely wasn't the worst thing that could have happened; this just meant that for the people editing, they would have to transcribe all of the footage themselves instead of having the Ninja do it for them. After this issue was resolved we finished the last couple scenes and wrapped the whole production. It was a sad moment to wrap as everyone really came together to make this project the best it could be. I really hope to do something like this again in the future as being on set is something that I love doing.
