Some more photos!

Because scenes three and four happen back to back chronologically, they were shot consecutively. It was all shot within my house. These chapters were a bit more challenging to shoot. Because the camera is so animated in these scenes, we had to constantly be cutting. We couldn’t shoot live this time because it was bloody difficult co-ordinating the camera with the constant rearranging of the staging. Characters were moving around everywhere, and the camera was very fast paced. There were also a lot of whip pans in these two scenes, and because panning directly into perfect frame from the last is almost impossible, we had to cut in between each pan, and leave it up to editing to join them together. This method of shooting, even though it was the most convenient at the time, was still very messy, especially because we had minimal crew members on set. The constant cutting and continuing footage was exhausting, especially because all of our camera batteries were running on low, and so we were racing against time.

The other thing that didn’t turn out exactly as I had planned (more in scene four), was the use of fake blood. We didn’t have something that was powerful enough to widely spray, and so it all just streamed out instead. We may have to enhance it a little in post production. Also, I think that we lost the audio files for this part, so we may have to record some more wild lines.

But yeah! All in all, even though it was a fucking mess, it was a successful shoot, and hopefully, we don’t get too slammed in post production. The end!
