Clearstep Braces Thicker



Our first day of filming in London. On the morning of the container came with the Strandbeesten at the museum. We had already made early on the way and stood at seven clock at the ICA. Stefan and Andreas had to take the U-Bah, we had expanded our car in the Ruecksitze to transport all the equipment. Unfortunately, it then
went much faster than expected and when I tried just had to find a parking space and back was before the museum was, unfortunately, the truck has driven away towards Trafalgar Square, there to load the Strandbeesten. Documentary pitch. Nothing was the beautiful setting on the wide road with the British flag in the background and a soft morning light. After spending, while somehow trying to get the tape into the camera without falling down and then briefly to Steffi, I had in Trafalgar Square with the luggage unloaded to bring the tripod.
The result was then a few hectic settings from the unloading of the Strandbeesten. I had imagined the beginning better. Then we decided to build the crane. With Nelson's Column and the sun behind and the National Library in the background we shot some supervisors with the crane. One must be careful not to swing too much with the crane, or see the pictures later as a TV recording of a show or concert, where continuous dynamics is faked by crane shots.
reached after a few settings shcoenen us an excited woman from the museum. She told us that we had not actually filming permit for the Trafalgar Square and we may Trouble with the office of the mayor who has everything here seems under control, could get. You also need to shoot for dokumentarissche permission to film public places. You never stop learning. Let's see how it goes. We agreed, unremarkable and without rotating crane and on Monday to request permission to shoot. I hope that this leads to bigger complications.
evening will run until 11am the Strandbeesten today and I'm still going to try a crane shot of the course and the beach beasts to shoot in the dark. Fortunately, the mood in the team and contact with Theo, Loek and Sander is very good. I have to try to curb my impatience. The biggest challenge of the next days will be to do not try to turn everything, but to wait and wait for the right light, the right mood. Nor does the weather, maybe a little too well. The sun beats down mercilessly, much too much light for digital video.
Besides, we are in the garage right on Trafalgar Square, 35 pounds for a day. Maybe I should be worried around the budget.
