Departures: "That's A Wrap"

Today was our last day of filming the short film "Departures" by Claire Wright. After days on the enclosed waiting room set, it was a welcome treat to be filming outside. We'd taken over Church Fenton railway station for the day to shot exterior shots with extras, as well as the climatic scene.

Unfortunately the weather wasn't on our side which caued a few problems and delays, but we got everything shot in time... just. Station lighting created a few continuity issues for the final couple of shots (and our props were looking a little soggy), but we may well have the chance to pick these up at a later date.

Using a glide-cam, crane, jib and track for the film, we'd used loads of technology without anything going missing... phew!

More Projects In The Pipeline

Things are really getting busy now... uni assignments, "Departures" shoot coming up, societies and a life. Now 2 more projects have come up. The first is "Floored"; an ambitious yet quirky short film that I'm now producing. It's very early days and I won't spoil it by revealing the plot, but I'll be keeping very busy until we shoot at the end of January.

The second film (called "Without Wires") I'll be editing. Set in the WWI era, this too is a big project set in trenches... and hopefully we'll have an established relationship with Mezzo Films that might be able to help. More info on that when things are confirmed.

All really exiting stuff, just wish there were 36hours in every day!
