It's been a hectic and stressful yet rewarding gong-show of a month filming Braedon and Katherine! We've been in post for a few days already, but it's been a rollercoaster of emotions to get here.
Murphy's Law has played a huge part during filming because everything that could go wrong essentially did. We knew what we were getting into needing to film in so many locations to get the footage we wanted, but we've now learned to expect the worst.
Note: we're not complaining, we're just sharing our filming journey :)
Sound was the worst. The RODE blimp mic was always booked when we needed it to film outdoors, which left us with the Zoom H4N and the shotgun mic to capture sound. Not ideal, but thankfully we have Michelle who took a class in sound design.
Oh, Vancouver weather, so unpredictable. There were countless times we've had to reschedule filming because of rain.
Scheduling was surprisingly difficult considering we're a small group. Work conflicts would cut our days short, upcoming auditions for our talented actors would cancel a shoot, and at one point Katherine had tonsillitis :(
Renting equipment at our school library was a war zone, especially during weekends, so we learned the hard way to book equipment in advance. A filming day had to be cut short because of equipment shortage, like in one instance we didn't have a lighting kit.
At this moment in time, we have all our scenes cut, but it definitely wasn't easy getting to this point, but we're so happy to have survived!
