On the set 'Weekly' reports... How... What... Where... How did the day go? Who got fired? Who walked off set? Are we going over budget? Has the money dried up? Are the producers trying to replace me with their girlfriend's best friend? All the politics of filmmaking, in the raw, week by week.

Liverpool EXT. Day 2

The next day, Saturday, the call time was between 6.30-7.00... We had so much to do with so little daylight involved... Sun up at 8 am, light gone by 4 pm... It was a very complicated scene... What I wanted to do was film the scene in 3 sections in 2 ways... The lead character Peter McMullen's POV as TV Cameraman, through the Ikegami DV-7W and locked-off shots with the action... In the end I managed to get a 3rd way which was me following Peter McMullen, played by Ed. Dehn, while he shot his footage...

Sunday morning it was raining... actually pretty badly... enough to mean we couldn't shoot the ground in any shots... Michael had mentioned a 'wet-down' on Saturday but it never got done... my fault... Anyway, in between showers we picked up lots of locked off shots of the action from saturday... Then at about 12.30 I said to Steve Tomkow we should start to prepare the main explosion... Basically the tank stops after crushing the vehicle, the turret turns, then gun fires simultaneously the tank rocks backwards and the building at the other end is hit... Steve and his lads set up in about an hour... We could only do this once... I had 2 cameras, one the 'prop' camera which Ed uses and the 'production' camera... In the end I set up the 'production' camera on a tripod, as a safety, and hand held the Ed's camera, which after the explosion and the tank started to move I gave back to Ed in mid scene so I could capture the whole scene from the 'production' camera... sound complicated but it wasn't...

Dumper Truck - Frances dead

After not much sleep from all of of us, on the Sunday at 7.30 am we all headed down to Vicarage Road in Bagshot, the place where I had been brought up and the Dumper Truck Scene location...
I drove the LandRover with Ed, and Myra drove the Suzuki with Nicky and the grub, in convoy... We arrived at the location at about 9.00 am...
Once we had got to Vicarage Road I left everyone and went to pick up Les and the Austin K9... Can you believe it, some arsholes had jumped on his bonnet during the night... Thankfully Les was very cool about it... Then the convoy of LandRover and the K9 made its way slowly down to the location... (continued with 8 photos) |
