Diz - Short Film

Diz and I went down to Hertfordshire yesterday evening and got back this morning to take part in a short film that will be shown at a film festival.

Quite quick & easy, she had to stand in the road and look towards a car coming towards her then backing away.

Next scene she had to lie 'dead' in the road as if she had been run over. She had fake blood poured over her which she didn't like to start with, but got over that and lay flat.

That was it, she did it perfectly so we were done and dusted quickly

Diz - Amazing Animals

Diz and I took a trip down to Banbury to film for the above programme, it will be shown when you press the red button.

We started off with her sitting and looking to camera so they can put a voiceover on it. Might sound easy but with cows mooing and geese walking past there were quite a lot of distractions.

Then she was filmed lying in front of a pig pen looking to camera.

Right in front of the cows she was filmed looking at them as if she were talking to them, she was very close and they were eating the hay from behind her, she was a bit nervous to start with but was soon reassured. She then had to exit the scene.

A bale of straw was put on a trailer so she could sit on it and look down to camera.

Into the barn next to the sheep and Dizzy sat looking to camera and did some twists and then lay down as if she was exhausted.

They then filmed her skateboarding through the farmyard which she thoroughly enjoyed.

The next scene sees Dizzy crawling along towards some horses and hiding behind a hay bale. They did quite a few shots of this one at different angles.

Next to the geese she was filmed looking to camera and the geese walked past.

The final scene saw Dizzy picking up the camera tape box and giving it to the sound man.

All in all a good day, Diz coped really well considering she has never been that close to farm animals and all the nice smells. This should be shown the last week in April and I think will look really good as we got a lot done.
