And On The 7th Day God Rested, But ManFlick Persevered

We finally got our 7th and final day of filming done and now all we have left to do is edit the footage into our final cut. Restrictions on time, car availability and weather had delayed this shoot for some time but now that we have completed it we all breathed a collective sigh of relief!


The day began badly with rain meaning we would have some continuity errors. In an ideal world we would have waited to do this shoot on another day, however car problems forced our hand. Unfortunately Elanor,
the car our killer drives had recently failed her M.O.T. and would be unfit for the road after a day. This meant that we had to shoot on this date and decided that if the footage was unuseable then we would have to deal with it.

After a small pause in the rain we managed to get a few shots done, but then it returned when we wanted to film some exterior shots, obviously posing a problem because of the risk of damage to the camera. This was quickly overcome through use of a ManFlick/Blue Peter style bodge job to protect the camera from the rain.
