Blog 18 - FIRST DAY OF FILMING!!!!!!

IF YOU LIKE THIS VIDEO PLEASE SUBSCRIBE!

So the time has finally come - it is snowing, it is early, we are up, bags packed and off we go into the torrential snow.

Watch me struggle down the snowy slopes, get changed, apply the make-up and sound, camera, action... I'm away!

I have cut this blog to an amazing piece of music by an artist from my home town of Farnham, Surrey - Bob Holroyd. He runs his own label and manages him music and he can be found at www.soundscapemusic.co.uk

_____

Watch one man make a feature film entirely on his own and witness the struggle, setbacks, highs and lows and the process of filmmaking like never before.

Gosh really good.....first thing I have seen on you tube, as I joined today!

Can I suggest, When you are setting up the next shots can you say what it is you want that take to show

Also....lone film maker? How can you zoom in on yourself going down the hill.

Keep it up and take a thermos of tea out with you next time!!!

I can't zoom in on myself... OH! Ok. I wasn't being clear - what I meant was, 'on a long lens' , did I say 'zoomed in'?

Explaining the shots - yep, I won't do that for all takes as that will get dull for people and I want to try and theme the different blogs as much as possible as opposed to just banging out 'another blog where I explain every shot'. But yes, I will give more context in later blogs. :-)  Thanks for watching!

Dude, give it up...Will Smith has perfected the art of the ONE MAN FILM!!! Haaaaaah.....

[thelonefilmmaker]

lol! But of course someone was filming him in I am Legend?! And there was a sound recordist and set designer and other actors and director and producer and an entire massive Hollywood crew... It is I am Legend you're referring to?

Best

Nice adventure and nice family. Do you say what your intent is? very interesting so far.

I like snow too. Maybe survival on the cold. Perhaps the ice age is forthcoming. whatever..good on ya mate!

[thelonefilmmaker]

Thankyou! And yes - the intent is on my first blog - if you go to my channel page you can see the pre-production playlist which is the story so far... :-)
