Shared Creation

On Tuesday the 23rd it was time to shoot the next Consumed short. Our last film had ended in a zombie attack, and this next instalment wanted to hint at a unseen zombie behaviour and show personality of zombie victim dissolve away. We also wanted to recount the story so far in order to glue things together.

We met at 7pm and were finished before 9pm. This was good high speed off the cuff filming. Our location was a nearby hillside (no shortage of these in Wales) , picked for convenience of location and parking. It also could create a backdrop that park of our last location.

So far so good.

So one member of cast, one person with a couple of cameras and idea of what we are going to film.

So makeup went on and we chatted about what to do.

Then we filmed.

You know what – it worked. The footage looked good on the day and some really nice moments were adlibbed into place.

There is a reason for this – what we were doing was straight forward and both of us were ready to trust each other.  The end result was small collection of photographs and workable footage for around two hours work.

This was a result.

It also reaffirmed the keeping things simple principle. Two successful trips out in a row and a perhaps the development of a bit of pace.

The video isn’t ready for release yet but in the meantime you can see some photographs – take a look here
