After a couple short reshoots in the am (no dialogue) on Thursday the sound crew went on stand by for half the day.
Just before lunch we got our chance. We’d been waiting for the stunt crew to get free of the green screen so they could come down to the culvert location from earlier in the week. This was our second chance to capture the sound from a fight sequence and this time we were prepared with these. The work was a bit rushed as the stunt guys needed to get back to the camera but we pulled off 8 or 9 takes (and some of them sounded good despite the wind that still howled through that tunnel. Pretty cool experience though.
After lunch we waited and waited and waited. Apparently T.W. needed quite a while to get his wardroom & makeup done. Unfortunately, when the time finally arrived for his scene with G.O. and the AD called for ‘a bell’, only then did I realize I had neglected to gather up the ‘bell & light’ gizmo (this is rung / turned on right before we shoot to lock down the building so no one interrupts the shot). Oh well. I shot up and ran around searching for it. Apparently, the stage manager had “helped” by taking it over to stage 4 for the green screen shooting (even though sound didn’t roll there….).
Ah well. Lesson learned. Pic is of our D.W. stunt stand in with mics in his ears.
