Have wheels will travel

We have shot half the film. This week has been an easy week in comparison. The first two were a bit mental. We had two half days. Handheld work came in a big way that has left me with muscles. Handheld standing, handheld running and handheld on a wheelchair. The camera weighs about 20kg. But it's been fun. This week were mostly exteriors shot in Shoreditch and Putney by the Thames. Had two assistants who were students but were pretty good.

We had a free stunt man fall down the stairs backwards and got amazing footage. Pretty scrary stuff but i had to remain uber cool to operate.

It's amazing what we do in the time allotted with the tiny crew and limited resources that we have. It's an achievement so far. It's a great journey...
