It's all about the food!

As most of you know we have finished shooting a while ago, but I didn’t have a chance to update this Blog. I still have some entries that I have already written, but never published here. So I thought I put those once up over the next days and then tell you what’s going on in the post production. Sorry about that...hope you still enjoy reading this. So here today’s entry.


Something I really have to talk about is the Catering on set. It’s just fantastic! And why does this rate a mention? It’s because a crew is like an army and it marches on its stomach. A well fed crew is a happy crew so we arrive in the morning (very early, too early) and get this great breakfast. There’s all this healthy stuff like cereals, yoghurt and fruit salad, which I try to go for. But then we also get the whole range of warm breakfast dishes: Eggs (scrambled, fried, boiled), bacon, sausages…mmmm…

Everyday there is something new for lunch. Usually 3 different kinds of meat or fish, lots of different vegies and salads of course. Last but not least there is dessert. We get this great vanilla ice cream and some sort of cake everyday. As you see, the difficult part is to leave enough space for the dessert. This is all a big challenge, well, the bigger one will come after we wrap when I have to lose all the pounds that I gained during the shoot! Well, there are some people who don’t have that problem – Gemma Ward.


It’s a bit tricky to find a Tech-Fact today, as I have talked about food, which is not technical at all. Ok, what about the Call Sheet?!? This is basically the schedule for the next day. It’s usually printed on yellow paper so it’s not to be confused with the rainforest of paper that is used during production! Everybody on set gets one at the end of the day and it covers things like when to be on set, what scenes will be shot, important telephone numbers, what additional crew and equipment will be on set and breakfast & lunch times. I basically carry it with me all day, so I know what scene is next and when we will be finish.

Cheers
