There must be a thread for this somewhere, but I couldn't find one...
Anyway, just somewhere to share your more *interesting* filmmaking stories.
I don't have much, but I'll start:
I was filming my first sex scene the other day (with two actors who'd never done one), and we were all pretty nervous. My directing went out the window, and I became complacent, and indecisive - but somehow we got a pretty good scene out of it.
Anyway, it was to take place in a public bathroom. Being new to this city, and not knowing anyone to call in favours from, I asked my university to close a bathroom for us during the holiday - which they kindly agreed to do so (though apparently people don't read several signs saying "toilet is closed" and tried to come in). The scene relied on some heavy *vocal work* from the female, which took us about 10 minutes to get.
However, as we left the bathroom, we realised the lecture theatre attached to the bathroom was full (odd because it was holidays). We had a friend hanging outside the toilet, after people kept trying to come in. He informed us that it was incredibly audible outside the bathroom, and it had clearly disrupted the lecture.
Later we found out it was a holiday program for under 14's...
