i am so relieved this production is finally over. i think that is the first time this year that i have really felt the true pressure of the TV industry. We got it done, maybe not to the standard we wanted, but we got it done. i cant wait to kick back and forget about it all for a while, but im also strangely excited about the next big project, because i want to use what i have learnt from my mistakes to make the next one even better. we made a number of school boy errors whilst shooting the film that got me slightly concerned about whether or not i have actually taken anything i have been taught on board, but i think the fact that we are doing this project in summer makes it harder. being minutes from a beautiful beach when the sun is out makes staying in a small windowless room to edit seem impossible. and if we had more time to plan the shoot it could have been ten times as good. it seems like im making excuses, well, i am. i wasn’t horrified by our film but i wasnt exactly proud of it either. which is why im eager to prove to myself and others that i can do better! watch this space…
