Its the last day of the shoot!!

Its the last day of the shoot - and that time when we have mixed feelings about the end - we're sad to finish, but also glad we almost have it in the can.

Behind the scenes production have been working tirelessly to make sure the film runs to schedule and to budget - and so the last day of shooting is a triumphant day for us, but also exhausting one where nine times out of ten, we simply need coffee and sugar to keep us going for that final push to the end.

James O'Donnell our production manager, finally finished the movement orders...

here comes pedro!!

We start on the music library bombsite....

and two days later... we're ready for the cameras to come in. Pedro, our bomb nestles in for the night!

It all starts with a script...

Krysty, our wonderful and talented writer has been an absolute star - even helping out  production on the odd day or two by running to the shop for us and picking up crew at some ungodly time in the mornings.

She has been convincing us that she has been working on some exciting new scripts... we're not so sure about her sanity now though....

It's a tight squeeze in the radio booth!

What do we do with our day's off....

As some of you might know - we have been working to quite a tight, but also somewhat random schedule - including a number of 'days off' inbetween.
Well, though many of the crew have had time to rest during these days - The Art Department and SFX have been busy transforming the set from pre-bomb, to post bomb, and later to post explosion.  no mean feet in a 50ft long stage.



Adele and her team at Wycombe Recycling have been very kind in letting us raid their stockyard and borrow loads of rubble and mortar, along with other bits and bobs of demolition debris - which has been helping us bring it all together.

"Sarah! There's some lovely bricks down here! "

One of three van loads of rubble...

All we need to do now is get it into the set and destroy all our wonderful hard work and break the set! The music library is first, as this is where the bomb hits the building. Watch this space.

SFX is dirty work...

Today was the shot with the mortar cannon - and we needed the 'rubble'  to be fired out of the pig dirtied up a bit - so SFX Jenny  got to it, and then wandered around set all day oblivious to her lovely new face paint. We were going to show you the results of the shot (which, incidentally, looked awesome) but you'll just have to wait to see the film to see that!
