We had a slightly later start than planned as we found there were still loads of things we needed to bring in for our set and for our props so we arrived at 9.30 and immediately got to work on the final touches. When we were setting up the previous evening we found that the bed we had sourced was a bit too low to the floor... About a foot high so we had spoken to fergus and there were plinths we could use so in the morning we immediately set that up. It both looks much better and is just about safe to sit on the bed as long as you lower slowly onto. Luckily not many shots require sitting on the bed.
When we had finished with the set my brother arrived to be our presenter and we proceed to light our set and then set up the cameras.
The studio is amazing. We have two sets of arri's and the ceiling rigs have loads of lights too. We can't adjust their position (we think) but we can control how light or dim they are. So we used them plus 3 arris to light from behind and to the side. We also have a dolly and track to use!
So we immediately (at about 10.30) got going on the piece to cameras.
We hadn't scheduled our days because we were going to do it all in order (piece to cams in order then all the extra bits in order of scripts) and we didn't know how long anything would take. All we had decided was to get the piece to cams done in the first day and use the other 3 days to do our extras. Didn't happen.
The piece to cams are taking aaaaaaaaaages! Especially on day 1 one when we were getting used to everything and creating a work flow. So we managed to get 5 done in day 1 I think. It's not that my brother isn't remembering his lines or anything either. I mean there's the odd one that takes him a while to get his tongue around but it's just taking time!
