Ya know this project I'm writing about?
Yeah, the one called 'Bones of Essimer'?
We've started filming it.
Kill me now.
As an Assistant Director I've been managing crew on set, sorting some of the scheduling and paperwork to keep the wheels turning. I'm fairly new at this position, as I'm usually Soundie, and it's a weird shift in work: from the quiet standby of a soundie, to the constant loudness of an AD.
I suppose yelling at people to work faster isn't that bad a job, but you still feel like a bit of a bad guy. So I suppose it's good I have the job I have a bit of experience in being hated. Thanks High School.
We've dodged some bullets in regards to location and weather and honestly I'm absolutely chuffed to be where we are right, all things considered. We could be waaaay behind. Instead we're just slightly behind.
It's now my goal to get on track, if not ahead, with our work. A goal that I may be destined to fail. But meh, I always liked the idea of going down in a blaze of glory, so I might as well try to make this film submit to my will.
But it is now lunch time.
I feel the need for a quiet pint.
So toodle-pip and cheers!
Any photos?
