Welcome to  Snooping Midget Productions Day Four Production Blog on the Film Desolation, the First Short Film by Adam Huddleston and Simon Molloy.

How do we start this Blog.. Let me just say "Sex Scene". I can hear all the guys out there going "Lucky Bastards", and all the women going "perverts". In this case I think the women have it. Though necessary for the film, the Filming of the Sex Scene was seriously uncomfortable. Even watching back the takes, and I mean takes.. I think there was about 20 of them... was uncomfortable.

Again problems arrose for todays shoot with the good old battery not being fully charged so that stuffed up a lot of the time management of the shoot. There was a lot of sitting around waiting for the battery to be charged enough so we could finish a scene.

I'd like to thank Brett and Liv for there use of there house again and there use of there bodies for the sex scene... haha

Other than the uncomfortableness of some of the scenes shot today, the overall filming went pretty well. Its really hard to judge how well our filming went when you watch it in 4:3 when it was filmed in 16:9. We have found this the biggest problem so far... Its a problem which kind makes you a bit dis-heartened, but once you see the footage in full quality and size the performances come to life and makes both me and simon feel a lot better about the film.

Todays shoot consisted of 4 scenes with about 15 different shots to make up the scenes. With a total of 2 hours being spent on filming, and 1 hour on waiting around and setting up.

With one more days shooting to go the film is coming together.. Although the next shoot will be the longest by far.. Seriously expecting a 15 hour day. But looking forward to it.
