The 48 Hour Film Comp weekend is now done. Jenni’s Angels had an intense weekend, and got its final cut into the judges with all of four seconds to spare (!). I was in the writing team this year, and my intentions to get up to help with the shoot came to nothing – other errands and tasks took up much of Saturday, and Sunday I just wiped.
\nThis year’s requirements were the character Kerry Post, a perfectionist; the line “Wait a minute”; and the required prop was a brush. Our team had as genre “Superhero” or “Fairy Tale” – we were able to choose. Up at Indigo City we got into some serious brainstorming with almost the whole crew there, pushing through some truly great ideas, but we sifted through to cut ideas that were too big for a six-minute flick, and some that just seemed too technically demanding to be worth risking. Oddly enough, we settled on an idea generated at the start of Jenni’s Angel’s very first 48, passed over on that occasion. We found just the right riff for it this time out.
\nThe writing team then shifted to different premises to work up a script. The team was much the same as the last time I was on it<\/a>: me, hix and Sean again, joined this time by Chris G. It was an awesome team, each of us bringing different perspectives and strengths to the mix, and best of all we had the collaborative thing going real well. There was no ego in the room as we worked through ideas, shot down bits that didn’t click, elaborated on bits that ran hot, and generally made our way through to a script that made us happy.
\nBy this time it was 5.30am, so we emailed out the script, then hix and I drove around for a while before turning up at Indigo City for the 6.30am actor call. Straight away there was feedback coming from people who had read the script before coming up; we started making a few scribbled changes here and there. As French Toast was put on, furious planning was going on all around us as costumes and props were chased down, filming locations were settled, and technical prep began. Director Lee took me, hix and our four cast into a quiet room and we ran the script. The red pen came out and we chopped and changed the script a bit, and then I decided I was done – Lee and hix and the cast had everything well in hand. I headed away to do the sleeping thing. It was around 8am.
\n35 hours of intense work followed my departure. I hope the script didn’t have any crazy hooks hidden in it that caused mayhem – I don’t think it did, but…
\nUnlike previous years, cast and crew are forbidden to watch the completed entry before its big-screen debut. This is only a couple days away: Jenni’s Angels is in Heat 6, on Wednesday 21st May, 9.15pm at The Paramount. I’m hella looking forward.
\nThank you to the amazing fellow JAs who made the thing while I was sleeping.
\nAnd yay the 48. It is a beautiful thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
