Day Two - Wheal Maid Quarry

Day Two - A Rainy Day in the Quarry

For the second day of the shoot we were on location at Wheal Maid, a quarry just outside Redruth. Being on location meant we lost all the controllability we had in the studio. So for both days we had to put up with noise from chickens, motorbikes and children. Through day one it also rained and slowly got worse throughout the day. But thanks to great cast and crew we managed to get all the shots we wanted for that day. Dan Richards and Charlotte Bister (Nelly) were great sports for sticking it out in the rain, especially at the end of the day when they were soaked through.

We were able to warm up a bit when my friend Ed Stone (who did the catering) brought down a lovely chilli for all the cast and crew’s lunch. Aside from the rain it was good day, and it was good to see the famous ‘Orangina’ scene were Tim meets Nelly. Charlotte and Dan run their own theatre company (Owdyado Theatre) so they worked well together and kept each other’s spirits high throughout the shoot.
