Filming!

Call time was marked for 6:30 am, but since we’re in South America, start time is a bit tardy. The students began filming around 8:30 am, but once they got rolling it was hard start stopping them. They were determined to call “action” in the beginning of the day, and to end the day with “that’s a wrap” even if ending was very late. (Not to mention that many had to come help in shifts because of school.)

After two long days of “action, corto and otra vez” all of the scenes were shot, and ready to be edited. The editing team came in and stayed glued to the computer screen, hours on end reviewing and cutting the scenes. At the same time, the sound team worked diligently on getting environment sounds, and making sure all the lines could be heard. The music team, DAVID, one of the directors and DON MIGUELito constructed some great tunes to accompany the short. They spent many hours practicing their singing voices, along with Don MIGUELito teaching DAVID how to annunciate words in English that were in rhythm with their boy band beats. Minnie and I were privileged to get to listen to many of their takes, it was much fun and great listening!
