Three weeks of preparation. Two days of filming. And more than 40 people involved.

My Dark Tower

It's been difficult. It's been stressfull. It's been (quite) expensive.
But at the end I finished filming my short, called "The Game They Play" (look at the milliways movies website for more information). Last month was just an idea, a script, and a storyboard. In three weeks, thanks to friends, collegues and internet, I found a crew, I built a set, and with the help of fantastic actors, I have the short film almost completely done.
We were supposed to film 3 days, but I decided to film just 2, cause my crew was exhausted, and all I wanted was just enough material to cover at least 70% of the storyboard. The 30% missing? Oh, you know, editing is when the creation process begins. If the plan A doesn't work, and the plan B neither, it's time to use Plan C and start to really think about how to get a best short as possible.
I'm confident. I always am.

And I don't want to disappoint the actors and all the incredible guys and girls that helped me to film the western. I won't.

Just some final technical info, cause someone asked me: we shot in the Amber Room studio, Battersea, on Friday. The set was built in 6 hours on thurdsay. On saturday, we filmed in Chobham Common, Surrey.
We used a canon xl1 with the mini35 adaptor and Zeiss Prime Lenses (18-200mm).  And the speed was similar of the speed of a film crew!
