Character trait: EXAGGERATOR

Dialogue: 'IT DOESN'T FIT.."

Prop: A ROCK

We called the film 'The man with the gravel tongue'. Here are a few shots.

We're in the heats on May 21st. 

Some facts about our filming:

- It was 10.30am on saturday before we started filming. 

- By midday we'd only done 2 of the 10 scenes. 

- By Midnight we'd done about 8.

- By 4pm sunday we'd finished shooting.

-By 5pm sunday we'd finished editing

- By 6.15pm sunday we'd finished sound and Voice Overs

- We had voice coaching in South African accents from australia via internet

- We had a lot of chocolate and lollies

-The director and art director played a gig on sunday morning

- 90% of images were derived from national geographic magazines from 1970-1999.

- At one point we had our frustrated sound man Jared searching for Osama vocal samples (when a mis-communication between producer and Jared had somehow misheard my actual request for Obama sound samples)

- Our producers copy of 'The Secret' provided great inspiration

- We had 3 scripts concurrently which confused almost everyone

-Our first 3 attempts at outputting to tape failed

-We took over Mark's flat unexpectedly and even roped in unexpecting flatmates to our stress circle

- The film is made up of about 1500 still photographs.

Things we learned:

-No matter how calm you are, when you're filming a piece of paper close up on the end of a kebab stick, you won't be able to keep it still.

-Polystyrene is awesome

-Delegation is the key to getting a job done quickly

-Make sure your voice talent doesn't abandon you for other 48hour films.

- a focussing stick is an awesome device 

- Camera people get really sore eyebrows from squinting into the viewfinder, possibly inducing headaches.

- We edited with imovie but wouldn't really reccomend it.
