Day Three - Another Day at Wheal Maid

Luckily for our tired and weary bodies it didn’t rain one the third and final day and we even got some sunshine, which looked great adding some golden colours for the final scene.

Josie had another set to build, this time Nelly and Tim’s shack, which looked amazing. Despite being made from junk, it was full of colour and character. A great set piece for the end of the film.

Because we had only two scenes it didn’t feel like a rushed day (well not for me anyway) which was nice as it also happened to be my birthday. Official film baker, Tom Phillips, made a lovely spicy apple cake and everyone sang Happy Birthday to me during lunch, which was very lovely of them.



That’s a Wrap

So yeah the filming went great. Thank you to the whole cast and crew who were amazing, the film rushes already look great thanks to their hard work. And a big thank you to Jessica Morris, our stills photographer!

I now have a lovely couple of weeks editing the film together and allow my Sound Mixer, Jon, to add a sound mix and then it will be ready for screenings.

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.
