The second week of principal photography has finally come to an end. We had a rain delay that pushed us to shoot inserts in about two weeks, but the majority of the film is finally in the can! This was one of our largest undertakings, and our team could not have preformed any better.
We have one more weekend of inserts to get in the can before all photography is done, then it’s post production! We have lots of visual effects to work towards, so be sure to stay tuned while we work towards the end of this film.
Do you have any questions about technical or creative aspects of our productions? Put your questions in the comments and we’ll be sure to put together a blog post answering the best few.
