Home

Our first shoot over and done with, and guess what? We all made it out alive. Hurrah!
Things I learned -

  • (Firstly, never follow Murray in the car, you will have near death experiences various times throughout the day.)
  • Don't forget the main part of the costume.
  • If you forget the main part of the costume, its not the end of the world. I managed to fly home to Cambuslang and back in under 50 minutes, meanwhile the rest of the crew filmed scenes where we didn't even need it. PHEW.
  • Bring lots and lots of layers, it will be freezing and this will cause bad, bad moods.
  • Don't drive through KelvinGrove park even with permission from the police, the public will still abuse you....
  • Keep referring back to the original idea without dressing it up too much.
  • Make do with less-than-ideal situations.
  • Never come between a hound of dogs and our pizza.
  • If you drive on the grass, you will fall into a coffin. No joke.
  • Don't pick seedy lanes to film in, there will, very probably, be dead bodies lying in them.
  • Always check we have the correct amount of batteries (!!)
  • Have faith in ourselves.
  • The wind is absolutely terrible when trying to hang various things from a tree.
  • AND finally, its only a film. Have fun.

  1. I'll never forgive that dog. NEVER.

    Also, yes to the layers thing. Never again will I go to the necropolis without at least 50 layers.

  2. But be honest, you may be cold, wet, hungry, miserable and surrounded by jakies but what else would you rather be doing?
