Today's filming

Today was a mix of stress and relief.

In the morning i was playing the mad hatter in christina's music video, but because of people being ill or transport or whatever, we didn't start filming till about 12 when everyone was a little fed up and cold. I hope the footage turned out well for their group though. I also played as an extra in Yas's video.

I got to Coleridge at 1:30 in the end where we managed to grab Liam as an extra performer to go with me and Rob. We also brought Sven for cinematography as the pieces i've seen him film are impressive. We started walking towards town and due to the weather everyone was losing their morale and the performance had to look convincing so we managed to find a staircase to a park where we filmed a couple of run-throughs in different costume and a close up on the singer (me). We then decided to go to the train station to do some filming there. I didn't get a chance to look at the footage but i hope it's good because it turned out to be a spectacular set with the sun setting as people came in and out of taxis. In the end only Tom turned up and had made the sign for the protest. As i said yesterday though this was not integral and due to time constraints we didn't end up filming the protest and just did lots of run-throughs in different set ups. One in particular which i though was good was a walking shot, front on of the singer wearing the same shirt as from the bank meeting lip synching the song.

Overall today went better than expected we are still minus a few cutaways but those can be filmed at long road on monday.
