Wow, its been a long time since I wrote a blog for everyone to read about me reflecting on my suffering. I joke its not my suffering I reflect on but the waves of emotion and sanity one goes through whilst in the midst of the filmmaking process…

….Something like that.

Personally I do really well up until the point of editing when the windows of existence are shut behind me for a third of the year…not fun! But the post production stage as most people in the industry know is one of the most vital stages to have your creative vision become reality. ‘Creative Vision’ sounds a bit up yourself but its pretty true, it becomes your baby having lived with it for so long. Rant- rant- rant – So to my point! I have been in the dark cradling my evil child before unleashing it out into the world and now its finally happened.

“It’s got it’s ups and downs but at the end of the day we’re here because we love film.”

Well well, it’s been a week or so now since the fifth and last shoot of Ante, somewhat of a lonely shoot compared to the large crew and high pressure of the hotel ones.

Wow, it’s been quite a while since we started shooting ANTE back on the 27th March and we’ve only just recently finished the reshoot (this film demanded revolving tracks so I had to deliver…don’t hold it against me guys, just wait until the film’s finished and you’ll know what I mean!).

Howdy. This is J.R the lighting director giving a brief overview of the shoot and how I felt it went. After seeing the test shots on the first day I knew we had the potential to make a visually interesting film.

Meachem here writing the first blog from production. Director by trade but was the sound man on this set as wanted to work with the director, Chris Cronin, again as he is good at what he does.

It is the day after the production and Chris is comatoast as he has worked to the bone creating this film and i have to say well done sir. The film is looking freaking sweet and actually can’t wait for the finished product. The set was a damn good location, good crew and good set of actors.

Film festivals Ante here we come…
