Exquisite Corpse

Last Saturday and Sunday saw the Co-op shooting Mariana's section of Exquisite Corpse in Garstang.  The path by the river was the first location and we were blessed with a very beautiful but nippy setting.
After a few technical gremlins (good job we doubled up on some equipment) we soon got into our stride, and we were able to watch two good actresses at work (Mariana and Ginny).


After freezing our nuts off by the river, we moved to the old peoples home for the next location.
The warmth inside the room came as a relief, and we quickly set things up for the scene to come and got cracking with the filming.


Unfortunately, it soon became apparent that several people in a small room with the heating on, is not a good thing at all, and it quickly became rather stifling.
Sunday's weather was completely different with rain all day. Luckily we were filming inside the old people's home again, so they only thing we had to worry about was trying not to film the rain on the window too much (continuity wise, my outdoor scene overlooking Morecambe had blue sky on one side and a big black cloud and rain on the other, so we're covered all ways!)
We finished filming soon after 5pm and dashed off home for a well earned rest.
A big thanks to the staff of the old people's home, who put themselves out to help us.
