action
is that Kylie's phone
so after I shot bloodline which was more like a really low budget not even a
proper set kind of test footage I decided to do a proper short film get a
crew together as well at a kind of location I was optimistic helps prod
will say that it was nearly impossible to shoot a 15 page script a smaller food
appearing within the time we had which was just a day had we slept the hours a
normal person would have slept and I don't think we would have done of being
the director and actor on set was really difficult because your concentration has
to be one place and another place at the same time so there were times where I
wasn't concentrating acting in like okay when I first saw the script for what
happened to Kelly and then I saw the schedule we had to shoot it in I was
wondering about Blake's optimism I was like okay I know you're optimistic this
is super optimistic like and we did run over our scheduled time by more than a
few hours and we it was challenged for me I think one of the things for me was
that it was a shoot that went through the night time and into the morning
that's good like of a three-way
see my sound garlic he's been going 25 hours still walking it he's still saying
right yes still quite there he's told together they would be still there a
plucked off a long time ago he said envoy working I got a voice Sharky over
here he's literally just about to leave for his next shoot I did a lot of the
operating but also shared it with Sharky and Alps and there's one scene I was
particularly challenging where the characters are confronting each other in
a circle and Blake had this idea where the camera would rotate and look at each
member of the cast and keep going round keep going around there was
confrontation build and escalate until you know that computation happens yeah
so witness scene we didn't have a time to do come from before so we didn't do
any testing so we kind of had to figure out in the location we used their own
nests and we tried to see we can do it's too dark you set different points and
using Wireless app remote control Devonian to move around dulling work and
that was my idea failed so then out came dressed like a Jedi because he had to
wear blackout material all over himself so that he wouldn't have be reflecting
and he like some sort of Deadite groaning ninja Jedi managed to operate
the Ronin spinning around looking a different cast member as they're talking
to each other and then behind him was a sound guy he was also doing 360 around
the whole crew the cast the hind Alps so it's quite interesting to work on a film
where you have to sort creative challenges where you're really kind of
pushed to try and do something that be personally I sometimes go for something
that's safe and why let's do a tripod or that's doing this let's do that
I think I say my favorite part that song
babe what is it and you know I was amazed at how we all we sort of didn't
notice time until like early early in the morning when it was getting to about
6 or 7 I think that's when everyone was like getting a bit groggy in a bit like
you know when you get the night time giggles and yeah it was a fun experience
really enjoyed the place that was shot in really beautiful house so that was a
good experience for me as well I hadn't really shot in any kind of locations
like that before
so yeah I want to say it would was an amazing film not the perfect film that
one would say it was suddenly either your first short film wouldn't be so
good so that's still really true for me but you learn and hopefully the next
film will be even better
