And Cut! That's a Wrap!

Principal photography on C-47 is complete!

This last weekend of filming was a bit crazy. We had a fight scene to pickup and two to reshoot along with more *groan* green screen elements. We were all kind of expecting late nights but that never makes it easy. We did somehow manage to wrap before midnight on Friday which we've only managed to do one other day. And we got all the shots we needed without having to extend shooting to another weekend.

Now the real work begins. All those shots with green screen must be tracked and keyed so that we can add our CG trickery. And our trickery must look as good as the footage. Thanks to the RED, everything we shot on a practical set looks absolutely amazing. We've got our work cut out for us.

It was an exhausting experience. But I learned a hell of a lot. I can't imagine working on shoots like this for a living. I don't think I have that kind of stamina. But it was a lot of fun meeting and working with our cast and crew. Can't wait for the wrap party!
