Exquisite Corpse

Yesterday we were back at the old folks home to pick up some scenes and reshoot others for Mariana's film for Exquisite Corpse.



                                                        A quick check of old footage.....



.....and a recap of the lines


Then straight into it.





I can't believe it was so long ago when we were last there. Great to see Ginny and Mariana acting together again.


That's the end of Mariana's shoot, until the others start filming.

Last Sunday saw us filming 'Morris dancers' the 2nd episode of  'Gert's Bucket' (2nd series).
The shoot went well (apart from the entire contents of a small airfield passing overhead for about an hour)
and was completed in under 4 hours (with a food break as well) which is what we try and aim for with these shoots.
We couldn't have asked for a better day regarding the weather, and the location was beautiful.

 
We needed 13 people for this shoot and that's a big ask for the group. Six of these were needed to work the shed, which was extremely hard work in the heat.


Another sufferer was Ray, who had to endure running around with a vase on his head.


So, another enjoyable shoot with some good footage in the can!  Many thanks to:
HRH Gertrutbucket (host)

Due to the recession, the 'Arts' are in decline, so this series sees HRH meeting different artists in their respective fields, to see why 'their' talent, will save the day.
First to come under the Royal spotlight was the young painting maestro 'Thomas Tittier'  who has made some bold statements regarding the state of the industry.
Joining HRH for the series is the world renowned Art expert,  Agnes Ballgrip.

This first episode of the new series of 'Gert's Bucket' was filmed last Sunday with for once, a nice warm indoor location. Filming took approx 3 1/2 hours.

Big thanks to the crew:  Ray Turner, Liam Treacey, Lucie Carrington and Janette Lund.

This Sunday just gone saw Ray filming some short scenes with Ben and Adam for his part of Exquisite Corpse.



We had to travel to Accrington to get the right 'look' for the outside of the house.


The make up ladies had made the journey as well to give Ben his scars. Big thanks to Hanna and Anna for putting up with the conditions!




The day was a short one, which was merciful with no heating in the house, but everything went ok.
