its go time ( film fr now )

 Hey everyone!! I'm super excited to share how our first day of filming went! As I mentioned in my last post, we had to split our shoot into two days because of the gas station permission issue, but OOOHHMAHHGAADDDDD the footage we got looks amazing

We managed to get a ton of shots and we actually ended up with way more footage than we originally planned, which is definitely a good thing since it gives us more options to play with during editing. Overshooting is always better than undershooting when it comes to filmmaking!

Anyway, remember how I talked about our lighting plans in my previous post? We specifically wanted to film during dusk to get the vibrant pink and violet tones in the sky to contrast with Halley's neutral outfit. Well, it turns out dusk doesn't stick around very long! By the time we finished getting all our shots, it was completely dark outside.

This means we'll need to do some heavy color grading to make it look like everything happened within the actual timing of the scene. We'll have to adjust the darker shots to match the earlier dusk footage so the lighting feels consistent throughout the opening sequence.

Since my team and I will be at a competition this week, we won't be able to film the interior gas station scenes just yet. To accommodate for this, we're going to start working on a line edit of what we have so far and begin working on the VFX for the planet. 

That's all from me for now! Stay tuned for my next post on (checks schedule) uhh I'm not quite sure yet... See ya :)))
