At the end of last summer, just before the NG Meet-up in London. Around August, I was in St. Andrews, Scotland teaching a film course there. One of my students had a very ambitious project. And between me and my partner teacher, we decided to let him film a WW2 set movie. This of course obviously had to lead to teaching the kid a bunch of trickery and oh so awesome movie magic.
We prepared costumes and props, etc. Me and the kid went out to this really cool beach where an old castle was blown up and torn down by the rocks. we story-boarded and plotted and planned according to the environment of that local. We were finally ready to film and even got the friendly sandwich maker across the street to play a German soldier.
The day came and the crew carried the stuff down to the beach, me carrying a very large bucket of fake blood. Surprisingly enough, mother nature did what it does best to film makers and provoked a landslide on that beach, forcing it to shut down for the entire day. We felt for a moment that all hope was lost, but then it occurred to us to go to the next beach "West Sands" where the old 'Chariots of Fire' movie scene was shot. So i carried my bucket of fake blood for almost 2 miles to the next beach. it was a messy pain. the cops probably thought Jack the ripper has risen from the grave.
So by the time we got there i kinda had to jump in and improvise a new battle sequence at this beach in a very limited time. it turned out great we all did great team work.
I suggest you watch it HD. credits are at the end. I hope you enjoy the show. get some popcorn.
