Hi all
It's been a busy week up to tonight, the eve of the first nights filming on The Watcher.
David Edward Robertson has been added to the cast as a homeless man with his own haunted past, and after a lovely evening on Thursday where I was auditioning several very talented young girls, 10 year old Hannah Green won the part of the young girl. All the girls did so well in the auditions, it was a very difficult decision for me, but Hannah just had the right look and the talent to match in the end, thanks to all those that came along, you should all be very proud.
I have completed all my storyboards for the film and given the script its final polish, I'm sure this will be a tale you will remember.
Colin Warhurst has continued to produce some fabulous test shots for the film and indeed produced a stunning shot for the final film.
Sarah Meadows and yours truly recording audio for the film, my forehead is available for advertising space, contact me for details
Barry Thompson - Wizard of Sound and Music, makes a good brew too
On Thursday evening several sound sections for the film were recorded at Barry Thompsons home/studio. It was great to hook up with Jeni Howarth Williams, Ste Myott and Sarah Meadows, all lending their voices to a variety of characters. When you get to hear these recordings you will hear more clues to the past of Paradise Heights and in particular to a couple of current and past characters in the series. Barry has done an absolutely superb job in post on these recordings, more will be revealed when you see and indeed hear the film. Chris Lane has been something of a whirlwind drawing up a shooting script, organising the crew, acquiring desired props, setting up the schedule, call sheets, and coming up with some great marketing ideas.
Dream Job: Chris Lane - 'Producing' The Watcher
So pre-production complete, tomorrow is Day 1 of the shoot and I'm fired up and ready to rock - or should I say roll? Keep an eye on the blog as I and possibly one or two more - will keep you posted with blogs, pics and documentary footage over the next couple of weeks...Who is THE WATCHER...? Find out on the 12th June...
