Well today I found out that the trial is no more!
Whatever I take will be it and we are almost done with half of the 1st episode, 1 more episode to go before I can take them home for the post work. I suppose I get another week for that too. Once all that is done they will go on sale.
Weather was against us today and the rain made it impossible to record anything, just 1 scene!
I'm just doing it with my PT rig and 2 shotguns (second one attached to an actual broom stick!). So far its going...I won't say OK, but it is definitely going somewhere.
I will be able to get some credit if we are successful and am hoping to get a recorder for the real business, which means lots more episodes. Until then, I don't really have any other choice but to make do with what I have and that is exactly what I am doing.
I set the levels during the tests, hit record and run for the boom.
Also I can shout "cut" as much as I need to, until I think it is OK, so I just tick each line on my copy of the script and make sure I got decent recordings of each one.
I don't know what more I can do at the moment.
12 hours of this every day is god dam tiring but it has to be done...
