Ha ha! That face is me. I added an After Effects distortion twirl to it.
What time did you wrap saturday night?
We didn't shoot Saturday night. We wrapped Sat morning, around 8am. Two of the actors had to be at other shoots, for other teams, that day. Although, I did shoot the GoPro timelapse clouds (that big swirl that her face is in), during Sat sunset.
The sunrise was Sun morning. I just kept editing in between, then started the music score at 4pm, Sunday! Did the music in about 75 minutes; just kept improving the same 3 chords, but with different moods (Tension, Overture, Piano theme, etc.). Slept for 3 hours Sat morning and 2 hours, Sun morning.
I think the pace of the edit is a bit slow sometimes.
I could have cut the grocery bags dropping, but I wanted to max that actor's screen time. Most of it is how I like, but some pacing had to do with lack of takes and coverage. For instance, when she says, "Stop talking" at the end - I should have instructed her to cut him off, sooner, or taken a seperate shot of her.
(We wrapped at 19:30 because of daylight and to make sure we had time to edit.)
Yeah, our parking lot scene was supposed to be night, but we just ran out of time. It kept raining, so the outdoor scenes were taken when we could.
I actually had a much bigger vision, with the bad guys driving Ivy's (the witch girl) Ford Mustang and her flipping it over. Two things: the rain didn't allow for outdoor greenscreen, and actors couldn't drive stick! It had a funky clutch and she didn't trust a novice to drive. We were at the roadside location and she said, "I don't want them driving my car." I didn't know what to say, as the centerpiece vehicle was now unavailable.
We put the actors in the same SUV that the candidate was driving. To explain this, I masked the same SUV into the two vehicles you see in the parking lot. That was the same car! Worked though.
Thanks for watching! I look forward to seeing your project.
