We have to do a film from stills....I chose quite a challenging project but I'm confindet that I'll manage to do it...It's a stop motion film, and the pictures need to be taken from above; the person will lie down on the floor and then everything is possible...flying jumping....we can go crazy...
I finnally found a place where it was possible to take the pictures from above - the lounge on the second floor in Ellen Terry...It has a balcony from the 3rd floor. Media Loan Shop have a tripod that can go to 90 degrees which is more than helpful...the tripod is exclusive for Photography students...it's good to have friends from different courses (thanks Olly!!!!)
All good, found people to help, took the 3 point lights out, tripod, props (all my clothes, my two duvees, pillows...my room was empty when I left)....managed to set up everything...We took about 7 pictures when the Theatre Techinician asked us what we're doing there, why she didn't know about it, and if we had a Risk Assessment...well nothing to say we just had to pack up and leave...not what we wanted to hear
I wrote a risk assessment and went to see her the next day and we agreed on a time when I can go back and start again...this time it was just me and my friend Jana and the actor....quite hard work...felt like I went to the gim for a whole week after 3 hours of shooting...
All went well at the end...still need to edit and add sound but I'll show you a preview of it :)
