Filming Update

Sunday 21st - Filming session at Anna's

- Dried wet leaves with a hair dryer for about half an hour so they'd float down in the right way.. now that's dedication

- Filmed several shots of throwing leaves over Alec trying to make it look right, either the leaves came in too fast, in too much of a clump, too slow etc BUT we got it about right and got a lot of footage and I think it'll be really effective once we edit all the bits and pieces together

- Attached loads of CD's to a couple of bamboo poles and held them over Alec, got some shots of that

- We captured several shots of Alec just looking into the camera, sometimes miming various lyrics - got extreme close up, close up, medium and long shots of this to use throughout video in quick cuts.

After all the leaf pampering we ran out of time, we're really pleased with the day though and feel like we achieved A LOT. More than it sounds written down.. One day this week we plan to film Alec against the wall just singing/miming the entire song through, so when it comes to editing we will definitely have singing shots for every bit of the song if we need them.

Overall, SUCCESS :)
