Stand-ins required for Twenty Two
Me again!
We need a few enthusiastic people to volunteer themselves as stand-ins for the Twenty Two Shoot. Essentially you'd be part of the camera/lighting crew, being used to test for skin tone before the actors arrive on-set. It's one of those special smaller jobs that never get enough recognition, so we'd love to have you!
Let me know if you're interested - erensener @ hotmail.com or 0413 194 007

UPDATE
Hey all chrispy here
Just a little update on the week to come and how you can get involved!:
Monday is pretty much allocated to logistical meetings and storyboarding so probly not the most for everyone to do yet on
Tuesday we have a number of events: Firstly there is a camera workshop help by our D.O.P Chris miles at Cofa starting at i believe 9 am till perhaps 4. For all those who have joined the camera crew it is almost compulsory for you to at least make an appearance at this and it is certainly open for anyone else who is interested in getting a little on set experience.
In the room adjacent myself and dani will be once again story boarding so if you are looking for me then that is were to find me. Afterwards if time permits we may be able to get a location visit in, just before rehearsals at 6pm.
Rehearsals this week, will be recorded for sound tests from our Sound designer 'Boone' and hopefully recorded on camera for visuals. A note to those involved though this process is not going to dictate the rehearsal in anyway so issues with quality or pauses will be reserved for a later rehearsal closer to the shoot date. The Rehearsal location is TBA at this point and well keep you posted.
Friday is out for anything as is Saturday and Sunday, due to Easter. Which leaves Wednesday and Thursday nights, i would like to make a visit to most of the locations again at the very least the ones i haven’t seen at this time so if anyone is interested jump on board with your availabilities.
Once again calls go out for anyone who has a well lived in house which they would be open-minded about having a film crew invade your life for a day give me a call.
Gareth or any animators who read this i am coming for you shortly muhahaha as well be getting the shots you need for modeling on tuesday, and production design any members that can make it to locations it is highly recommended. But don’t stress next week i believe Wednesday will be left entirely for a location run through. So make sure at that one.
Thanks again guys !! Keep up the good work as we trucking towards the 29th!
Cheers

Twenty Two Production Update
Just a quickie.
We had our Production Meeting on Sunday night with some great success. There were a few new faces and some of the key jobs we needed doing got done - that's what's great about having a big crew!
At the moment we're in discussions with our locations for the shoot in order to get clearances from them. It's been the single greatest problem till this point, but we feel like we're finally making some headway..
I've just spoken with the Metro Inn Motel in Ryde, and it looks like we may be shooting our Motel sequence there, depending on if we get the A.OK from our Director, Chrispy. Next up - Catholic Churches BABY!!
