Filming this week didn't go fully to plan...
Extremely close to the start of my filming my main actress pulled out; I then had twelve hours before the start of filming to find a new actress, show her the song, explain the concept etc etc, my other actor however was still up for it.
Somehow, I managed to pull it out of the bag and it worked out amazingly. I had beautiful weather, beautiful locations and my two actors worked amazingly well with each other to create wonderful chemistry on screen; I could not have wished for a better outcome.
I visited various locations in the countryside, some however where quite a shock when we came across cows that were shouting at other cows in the field opposite. The more I saw inspired me with more and more shots, we also went to a farm where we were able to film lots such as a tree-house, feed chickens, get lots of shots around the stables and even had my actress riding on a beautiful white horse in the sunshine!
As my actress was informed of this whole idea twelve hours before she had to be up and ready to hit the countryside, she obviously didn't know many lyrics. We tried to nail in a couple of verses in the car on the way there but it just wasn't enough time. For this reason, I think I might have to film again just with the main character or some performance shots that I can weave into the footage I got from the countryside.
Despite the huge panic 12 hours before shooting, it all worked out wonderfully. It seems everything happens for a reason...
