As we stood there waiting for our genre, I said to LOML, "Wouldn't it be hilarious if we got Musical?"
And, sure enough, that's what we got.
Friday night was spent sitting with the team in our living room drinking coffee and hashing out a storyline and script. The script was finished just after midnight, and we arranged to meet at 7 the next morning.
After breakfast, we started shooting. Our musical director composed the music to the lyrics I had written (there hadn't been any planning beforehand - he just wrote the music off the cuff. Pretty amazing) and the actors started rehearsing.
After shooting all the scenes for Act I, we had lunch.
Then back to work.
We spent a lot of time organising our sets.
The restaurant:
The dirty bathroom:
The messy living room:
We shot all our night scenes in the messy set, stopped for dinner, then shot our night scenes at the restaurant.
Most of us managed to get some sleep that night, but the director (LOML) and composer worked through the night editing and scoring the footage. The following morning, we were up bright and early again to shoot the final scenes in the park.
LOML, the musical director and I went to base camp. The rest of the day was taken up with editing the film ready for submission before 7pm.
Tension ran high, but we managed to finish the film and transfer it to DV tape by 6:30pm. By 6:40pm we were in Yellow Cross, the film safely handed in, enjoying a celebratory beer.
The showing of our heat is tomorrow night at Readings Cinema - can't wait! We're not allowed to show it before then. Most of our team hasn't seen the completed film either, so it will be an exciting night.
