Reshoot Day 1 (Recap)

Today was the first day of our reshoot-marathon.

Starting with the opening scene, we filmed in a completely different location – in the Windsor Great Park.

The Windsor Great Park is only a good 10 minute
drive away from our main shooting location.

Here we found a great place to shoot our first scene showing two of the robbers running away from where they stole the loot while the third one of them is waiting in the car, acting as the getaway driver.

The Windsor Great Park at its most beautiful.

After climbing over this fence, the robbers make their way
to the car.

This is the distance the robbers have to run:
Long enough to allow us to shoot
from a variety of angles and distances.

While Chicken and Horse are fleeing from the crime scene...

...Pig is waiting in the car, ready to drive off.

But what would a day of filming be without some challeges to overcome?

As it turned out we needed permission to film in the park, so we were stopped by the Park Rangers. After a short conversation everything was fine though, as they allowed us to continue filming as long as we inform them the next time we are planning to come there.

Tonight I will create a rough cut of the first scene. The plan for tomorrow is to reshoot any shots that need fixing as well as adding any that are still missing (e.g. a shot of the car driving away).

Look what we did to ensure steady footage throughout the running sequence!
