On Sunday evening we held our 5th production planning meeting.
These meetings are held for the specific purpose of reviewing and planning the shooting schedule.
Footage review
We recently upgrade to Final Cut Studio 2, this is a significant upgrade and introduces colour. So to get things going we looked at the rendered footage from yesterdays shoot.
The reviewing of footage for cast and crew is only available in person, we will not be cutting any further DVD’s for people to view.
Advanced planning – future shoot days
We discussed the next two shoot days in detail, these are the final location shoots before we get into blue screen. Shoot day 16 is expected to be a long day with several hours of traveling. From start to finish its estimated to be a 15 hour day. Shoot day 17 on the other hand is much lighter, we may even get in a few pickups.
Pickups
Yes, some advanced warning for cast and crew, there are a number of pickups required. Over the coming weeks we will begin to identify what shots require pickups. There are several components that we look for when identifying if a pickup is required, these are;
1. Dropped/deferred shoots.
2. Continuity.
3. Overall look, colour, exposure etc.
