Production Day 1

Luke filming while Ashmund checking the shot through the screen.

We started the first day of filming in the library where I managed to book with the library's staff. This is also the first time most of the members met the actress whom I still could not remember her name. The shoot went well but it took too long (2hours+) to film especially for a scene that only last for 30 seconds. The reason was Ashmund always retake a shot too many times to reach 'perfection'. Even the actress was tired of it.

A quick rant: It seems that Ashmund doesn't let anyone to handle cameras except for Luke. The rest of us never had to chance to touch the cameras. We just stood there and watch most of the time. I believe this will be the same for the rest of the production stage. Another thing, the actress knows nothing about the story or her character. There was no script to begin with. I find this situation unsettling.
