It's IE too, so.

I don't know any more if you described Desdemona's hair, or if you producers will finally style her that way of course- this hairstyle is what I thought she looks like.

Page has been liked.

Good job and looking forward to watching the finished film.

Good luck with the shoot.

Thanks again, and nice one Demento for the like. Feel free to link up with me on FB, only do it now, because in a week or so I will have forgotten all about this conversation and could reject the request not knowing who you are.

Prussian, I'm a linux user so don't have IE. IE is the worst browser ever. It's clunky, slow and often hacked. IE users are particularly vulnerable to hackers purely because they are often not as savvy as they should be about the internet. IE is the browser built into their OS (windows) and they never veer away from it.

FF (firefox) are extremely good and used to be my browser of choice, however I have moved more into chrome recently. Safari are quite good too. I will try and figure out what is giving the date error, because it doesn't happen to every site that I have running the same software.

In regards to Des' hair... I don't think that any of us are particularly concerned about her hairstyle.

Ah, apparently the hairdresser would be

We wrapped today after a 48-hour shoot. 14 scenes yesterday and one scene split into 5 mini scenes today. Yesterday I was operating the clapper board and helping out here and there with direction. On day one we shot 14 scenes in under 12 hours. Today we were done in 4.

The great thing about this film is that everyone's input has been valued and highly sought. Something of a motto of ours is; if you have something to say then you better damn well say it. It meant that any mistakes were quickly picked up and rectified. So easy to get confused on set, especially when filming scenes out of sequence, it's good to have people you know are going to be using their brains too.

Crazy thing is we had a sound guy bail on us. Got a new guy in who turned out to be worth his weight in gold. Lots of experience making films, producing several features himself. Just a lucky alignment of the stars brought him to us... he thought of shots we would never think of, one of them is a mock CCTV shot. Hopefully we get chance to work with him again.

All in all I'm pleased with the shoot. The editor believes the footage is great and can't wait to get to work on it, in fact, he's starting tonight. Should have the first cut (sequencing only) in a week.

We won't be able to show this beforehand as we will be hitting festivals with it, including a big one at the home of the BAFTAs in November. Get to walk down the red carpet and pretend we're real celeb's. Who knows, we may even be there a couple months later to collect an award for best short.

Right now, we're moving onto the next one. 36 Hours in the Life of a Smackhead, although we will most likely change the title to 36 Hours.

Gl,

Can't wait to see this.

For the other piece how about "Smackhead"  or "Smackhead 36"

Tony

Yeah, I like the sound of 'Smackhead' too. It's very tempting. I'll have to think about that for a while, put it to the others. Cheers, mate.

So, hairdressing is done. Good. By the way, I didn't mean the producers should make the actors haircuts or feel deeply concerned about it, whatever. What I meant is that the producers, and with that especially the director, decide about the visual look. So don't make that hairdressing job. Just to clear this up, because you came along with this for the second time.

Anyway, some interesting stuff about the shooting. So, you kept it some kind of: Speak now or forever hold your peace. At least a way avoiding people throwing shit at each other afterwards when everyone had a chance to intervene at first hand.

I prefer to think of it more as a family thing. There are no leaders, but the figurehead is Anthony Niner, he's the guy that gets everyone together and steps down hard on anyone messing around. Not that anyone did, they were all very professional. If there are any knocks to be had then we take it as a team... we learn from any mistakes and move on. We're not even waiting for the edit on this one... obviously we're all a little apprehensive until we watch the first cut. It's in the editors hands now.

We already had the look we wanted. Once you start casting actors for the parts your mind opens up to other possibilities as actors bring their own qualities to a part. I researched, watched showreels and knew who I wanted for the lead. The Des role was a surprise, although I'd invited the actress to audition when she first arrived she was really softly spoken... and I think that it was the way she suddenly switched into character that convinced us right away that she was Des.

Here she is:

No doubt, respect, to keep, remember, come back to a kind of harmony is important for any artistic realization and success imo.

Sounds like a confident person. And as if she's coming from a theater background as well.  

Glad to hear everything went well, mate!

Looking forward to seeing the finished thing. Swing some screenshots/ stills over when you get the edit.

Cheers mate. Just got word back from the editor and he's already 80% through the first edit. Still may need a sit down with him yet to figure out what is what, but we may be happy with the first one, who knows. Then it'll be down to colour grading. There will probably be some posted on FB so you should see those, but I'll also put a couple in this thread.

Looking forward to seeing it, mate. Yeah, it normally takes a few edits to get something that you're happy with. I find editing is the processes which requires the most collaboration to produce an end product that everyone is happy with.

Follow that link for a screenshot as I don't want to break the forum... shows Janet in the nightclub... I can't release any more until the final edit and colour-grading have been done.

After seeing the initial sequencing edit though I'm extremely happy with it.

Good link. She looks good,  I'd bang her ;

This involves quite a large assumption on your part.
