The best day so far!
Today we shot half of "French Cricket" on location in a house in Beaconsfield. We were shooting in a really cramped hallway, which meant trying to keep out of the way as much as possible when not shooting! I was on the boom for the majority of the day, although about 3/4 of the way through my arms gave in and I swapped jobs with the sound recordist for the remainder of the day, mixing the various input tracks and keeping records of how each take went from a sound point of view.
It was amazing getting to meet all the cast after all this time, as well as getting to meet our professional crew members, such as Aden, our 1st AD (who apparently wwas the 1st AD for the first series of "Horrible Histories", a popular kid's program!). I also got to talk to Brian Ward, our mentor in more detail about how he went from art and painting to doing a course at the NFTS, eventually resulting in him doing all the music videos for ACDC's album "Fly on the Wall", which were designed so that, when put together all create a short, half hour film.
Can't wait for tomorrow, when we'll be shooting the rest of the film (the car scene) in the TV Studio at NFTS, working with legendary cinematographer Brian Tufano (Trainspotting, Shallow Grave, Billy Elliot) and a Gaffer who worked on Star Wars!
