Day 1 (Again)

Today is the 2nd time we've been filming for the 1st time this year. It's not ideal but we're going to persevere.

This shoot involved us filming the apple falling down the stairs. We bought 12 apples to do it and the dead apple count at the end of it had reached 7. If this is a sign of things to come, the budget just asked for a boost.





I myself was looking a bit like I took a tumble down the stairs but that was unrelated.

The shoot was great fun because it mainly just involved throwing apples down some stairs and seeing what happened but we did encounter some difficulties although they are mainly just because we're perfectionists.

We had a shot where the apple teeters on the edge of a step and then eventually falls off. This took ages to get right because we found it difficult to roll the apple in the right manner. We found the easiest way to get things right was to film in bulk, leaving the camera shooting and then just rolling the apple in and out over and over. Eventually, we got there after lots of takes.
