First filming takes place

Donny, Premium, Marky and I started work on the remake today. We messed about for over an hour for... Ohh 40 seconds of footage! This was all about getting started. Camera work is hard. I will have to change my controller sensitivity to stop last second "jiggle".

Execution on Turf
Premium had to shoot Donny in the head as Donny ran past. Sounds easy? Well he had to 1/ Have his gun lowered (you lower your gun by pressing down on D Pad) and then 2/ raise it (zoom) and then 3/ hit the head shot at a running target. Did it and did it well. Kept reloading after each hit- as is his habit. Well done Premium. Here's where we shot it:

Discoveries include:

• It's good to have a few extra people about to help move things and work as body doubles- ie positioning themselves so other actors can see where they need to be for a particular scene.
  
• Those same extras can then get bored and kill random actors, directors and set designers.
  
• Having the movie in the DVD player at the same time is very handy when you are unsure of a particular scene.
