That's a Wrap!

Our final day of filming has completed! 

To reflect on this day of filming is to do it very tired because shooting the remaining Action and Void scenes took over 7 hours! 

Did we need that much time? Debatable, but we got it done!

Setting up for our Action Scene

Our action scene was something that we needed a lot of varied shots and several takes in order for us to piece it together in editing to sell the very intense and action-packed sense of this type of scene. We filmed all of this in my garage and it involved the most amount of costume design and fighting that we had to portray as realistic. This scene was very reminiscent of a very Hollywood blockbuster kind of film that we thought was hilarious, but very cool at the same time. 

Void Scene Set 

The Void Scene was quite tricky to say the least. Our group had purchased a black backdrop for us to use to make it seem as if Edward was in, quite literally, a black void of darkness. We had to manipulate our lighting in a way to make Edward look dynamic and cinematic, but not illuminate the black background to show it is fabricated. Not to mention the pain in the butt it was to clamp the backdrop with tape and two clamps to my garage. 

Ending Shot Set

Overall, the filming experience for this project was on a scale I had never worked on before and I am incredibly grateful to be in a position where I am able to film at such a production level. I am very excited to release the film and show everybody our hard work. 

But filming is only half the battle, now is time for editing!
