So tomorrow is the wedding scene. It's been sitting there waiting to happen. To get 100 extras for free, to light a 100'x80' hall, to dress it for a few hundred pounds. I have never lit a space this big. Once the lighting is set, we are ready. We have 4 hrs to prelight, I have made a plan. We are making this film with a crew of 10-15 people. We are out numbered by all odds, but we have made everyday with a bang and great shots. Now we have been able to keep the track and dolly for an extra day courtesy or Agis Louka at Concept Cameras, we can speed up and make this wedding scene look the shit, as our one shot from the Phoenix cinema proved. A mix of track, handheld and lock off shots make this film photographically diverse. I sometimes wonder about the cut. We must be bold. I have pushed the lighting a little but have remained on the safe side of exposure.
Everyday in the last 20 have been a 12 hr day test and we have come out in pretty colours. Tomorrow will culminate all our experiences and skills. We are ready to make this big set piece shot like a big arse financed project on a tin budget and crew. I am proud of what we have acheived so far. Tomorrow will be the heights of our labour and I have NO doubts we will be flying by the end of the day because we love what we do.
