The end of shooting proved to be a busy time for everyone…because we were spending every free moment we had making this movie. It’s taken quite a few weeks to recover, become well and feel normal again after the frantic months from August till December known simply as ‘Elindil’s Secret – How not to make a movie!!’
That said, looking back on everything we did, it certainly was a time of fun, friendship, hardship and sleep deprivation; which only enhanced the fun, friendship…and so on.
So now that we are refreshed it’s time to press on…there are still things to be done. Effects, sound editing, ADR won’t happen on their own, but wait…before we do that…we still have to finish shooting. Completing a rough cut of the movie has revealed that there are still some pieces missing to the puzzle of Elindil’s Secret. One scene never got shot and there are a lot of insert shots that we simply didn’t have the time to get…and of course why get them then, they’re insert shots…we can pick them up anytime. AND SO WE WILL!!!
Pick Up shoots have been planned from the end of March through till the start of May. That should complete all of the shooting required. However, before we can shoot, there are some script changes that need to be made, permits to be obtained, lines to be learned…and yes post production will continue. So, just letting you know that ‘Elindil’s Secret – The madness that is’ continues to be made and we haven’t all dropped off the planet…although we have made reservations.
