Reiki - After Shoot Blog

So here we go for a new pimped out blog of Reiki The Movie!

As you guys know the shoot is done! And the reshoot is scheduled for Oct. 4th!

So how did the shoot go!

First problem: I had to play Ant and we had to switch the role of Kino and Ant, because the actress playing Kino couldn't be available to shoot the whole scenes. Meaning: there goes Pedro to the hairdresser to pimp himself as Reno from Final Fantasy, (or take the words of Zohan: "I got the Avalon!") all pimped out and ready to kick some ass! BOUYAH!

We started our first two days using an mini35, but guess what all the footage came totally out of focus! So on day 3 we dropped the mini35 and decided to just use the HVX200 and then a new mischief appeared: all our footage suddenly disappeared from a p2 card! Totally, nothing stayed behind!

Meaning: we lost three days from the beginning and the cast and crew were getting tired because they were working 16h days.

So it was time for damage control and some hardcore speed-directing! Meaning: shoot fast, shoot good!

And it started to go really well until our soundman decided to not show up on the set, not once but twice!

But we prevailed and survived!

I did 1 hour nights, and also stayed awake for more than 48h, which my cast and crew hated cuz they had an hard time following my rithme. Pussies... :p

And now we have the reshoots! In the reshoots we'll have to do the final scene of the movie and some minor scenes.

But until then check the site and check the video sections!

Some videos are already online, including bloopers!

And before I forget!

AnD on our set!
