Today, we have fun we started a new film " John bond, Portrait of a B movie director", staring Colin Dewar as the film director.
Simon has offered to help on this project. He's coming to collect me at 7:30 am after a few hours sleep and a big hang over.
The shooting is down in a landfill. Our B movie team is filming a zombie film. We will do some filming to insert in our documentary.
After being lost, we finally found our team. Carl Honer is shooting a short film about a post apocalyptic event, we are going to hijack the set to film some Super 8 cartridges.
Basically it's a film in a film. Thierry has his camera loaded with some black and white Tri X, he's shooting the crew getting ready.
We start shooting some general shots of our 1970's hero, John Bond.
Simon is playing John Bond today as Colin is still in Spain on holiday
We are filming the team building the set for some of the next scene.
Thierry ready for another shot.
Luckily, the car is not in the shot. Not really 1970's.
We are shooting some of the zombie buried under the ruins.
Carl is getting ready for his first scene of the day.
When the two directors of photography are meeting.
Different cameras, different styles !
The first cartridge is finished !
Simon is quiet tired but very motivated.
He's taking numerous break, any time, anywhere.
People from "Bed and Breakfast" are working very hard, some have been on the set for 3 hours already.
We shoot our first zombie scene with some of the extras.
After bing the double of John Bond is playing another character.
We meet Atti, one of Colin's friend, difficult to recognise with all the make up.
On the other set, a zombie has taken control of a camera. Thanks goodness, it's only a video camera.
Ready for another zombie scene !
Simon is really doing everything!
More zombies are arriving on the set. we have our cameras ready to capture these moments.
We are shooting some color film as well. It's Ektachrome 64T.
Simon is now filming while Thierry is playing one of the film technicien.
Today, we are only two for our fake documentary. We decided last night to go on location to film. So nobody could be found at the last minute to give us a hand.
Thierry is even playing a second character. Will the audience notice ?
Ready for another zombie scene.
It's lunchtime , after 4 hours on the set, we have 3 cartridges and enought material for the day. Carl is still filming his short. |Thanks for welcoming us on his film set and good luck for the end of his project.
We will try to hand process some of the cartridges and shoot more material in the coming months.
