So, it’s been a while since we wrapped equipment, backed up our hard drives and ticked the box labelled “principal photography”.
After a couple of false starts (hey these things happen in indie filmmaking land), post-production work on THE STAY begins in earnest this week with editing at Pinewood Studios followed by VFX and score/sound mixing. We’ll keep you updated every step of the way, and will be unveiling our first stills and a spiffy new poster!
And whilst logging the takes a few numbers stacked up:
2 days + 2 hours filming

Over 60 set ups
34.09 Gigs of data
1 “shower gimp”
approx 101 cups of tea/coffee

It’s a wrap!
We had a full and busy day ahead of us when we turned over at 8am this morning, lots of tricky stuff to shoot and a couple of pick-ups to bag before day’s end.
We covered Scenes 8, 10, 16, 2, 18, 20, 22, 24 & 13. We also shot pick-ups for Scene 12.
Lunch was pizza & pasta.
We completed the final shot at 17:20, wrapped location and headed home.
Will post more pics soon!
