Act 1 – Scene 1 – Take 1

Today marked day one of filming for ‘Awake O Sleeper’

I’ve taken a moment to step out from behind my camera and bring you behind the scenes and into the magical world we call, making movies.

The day started off a little slow due to weather set backs and first day filming glitches, however once we started to shoot, I guess you can say all the links just fell into place. Set to the majestic score written by Nick Kirk and Billy Wilkerson, the chains were ready to clink and the cameras ready to roll. Not to mention the actors, who all fell in line and continued to keep time. Using for the first time equipment we only dreamt of, set in scenes we could only imagine, we were off to a great start. Inevitably after fixing generator malfunctions and audio levels, the rains rolled in along with the film, forcing us to take five. During five, which tuned into ten waiting for the rain to stop, we were able to see the first roll back of the day, assuring us that something magical was on the horizon.

From hero props and dirt make-up to the fisher camera dolly to the boom. From the CineAlta, to the director, onto the actors and the crew, today was a sweet success. A great beginning to a few days of turning fantasy to reality and taking story telling to all new depths.
