The shoot was a success. We got a lot of good coverage with plenty for the editor to work with. It’s a 2-minute scene and we shot 80 minutes; if they can’t dig something out of a 40:1 ratio, I don’t know what.
Still, there’s always room for improvement. Next time I’d insist on walking through set with the actors and DP to nail down our shots and angles so we don’t waste that time on set. Also, we really could have used a few more qualified hands.
As I said before, I’m not editing. If the editor is reading this, you should know that we shot:
I can’t wait to see what the final product looks like.
Now on to something new. I think it’s time to start writing a new feature script.
