Shades!
It is indeed the time of year where Shades are needed! Amazingly we have had some beautiful weather here in Manchester the last couple of days, fingers crossed it stays! Not only that, we’ll be shooting Shades of Living at the end of the month – outside and on a farm, so really fingers crossed then that we have wonderful weather!
That’s right, this is the 2nd production role for me on a short and loving it so far! My role on this is Production Manager and despite having a few set-backs, we’re on roll to shoot 22-24 July. Things are slowly falling into place and I’m really looking forward to the shoot! Not only that, Mama Fi will be joining us for the shoot and lending a hand. Should be…interesting!
It will be good for her to see just what I do and how much goes on on set! It really is a team effort and it’s amazing to see everyone working, particularly as we’re all doing it for love
Apart from that, the last short I worked on, The Invitation, went really well! The shoot itself was BRILLIANT and I was reeling for weeks afterwards! After a very quick turn-around, we had the screening last week and what a wonderful turn-out! There was stand up comedy, the fim and the making-of. We had really great feedback and I was sooo proud of everyone involved! Good times! It really does make me realise how much I love doing shorts!
Next on the list I’ll be working on a Music Video as Assistant Producer. Not too sure of the details yet but we’ll be on a beach! hehe
Slowly, and I say very slowly, I’m working on my own script ideas to hopefully one day be able to make my own short film. Will keep updated with that one! (Don’t hold your breath!).
Till next time!
