In the Studio (More Production Stills by Rob)

Following a very long and difficult booking process, it has been very rewarding to get into the Workstation studio. We've been able to shoot greenscreen material throughout the day, which has turned out well. An added bonus has been the discovery of a fairly sturdy dolly, with curved track! I conceived some shots on the spot to fit in with the scene, and we gave it a go.

The day started off with a severe stall, and having arranged to meet at 11am, it was 2pm before I was joined by the other remaining crew member (the producer - the other two were unable to make this part of the shoot) and we could start shooting.





In the evening, we shot our hospital corridor. Our chosen location was Firth Hall, in the biomedical sciences corridor (resembling rather well a medical environment). Being a weekend there was nobody around, and we were able to shoot in peace. After Rob fetched a lab coat to make a cameo as a doctor in a walk-on part, we got to work shooting as many takes as we could of 2 connecting dolly shots, culminating in an ambiguous ending for the film. Our actor Missy did very well to pull off a distressed performance with a single glance, and in such a short time period. This part went successfully, and there remains half a scene to shoot on Monday, along with a pickup in the abandoned building to fix our cosmonaut shots.
