The glamorous world of the movies
Today, I spent 7 hours helping a friend out with a short film he was shooting. My role, such that it was, was as an extra to fill out the background of the room. While the film is less than 10 minutes, we spent nearly 6 hours just shooting 1/2 of it. Overall, it was an interesting insight into the process, and a lot of the tedium that goes into working through continuity problems. I can now understand why most movies have entire teams dedicated to dealing with those sort of things. Just remembering exactly what you were doing at specific moments is nearly impossible.
It was a lot of fun, though.
