So last week I was lucky enough to be asked by CarlLewis films to be involved in their entry to MK's 48 film challenge, and having worked with Carl & Lewis previously, and after experiencing their determination and dedication to the end product, I jumped at it.
So for those in the dark about a 48 hour challenge, it's a time thing- you're given a certain criteria for a story and then you have 48 hours from that point to write a story, plan shot lists, get everyone in, make up, shoot, move locations, fight the losing light, battle the wind, edit it, put some music to it, and get it back in all within the 48 hour period. Needless to say I've skimmed a lot of the jobs so the sheer enormity of this isn't justified in my description.
But it was so much fun. Having an amazing team put together, everything ran smoothly and we were pretty much running on time the whole day. And the entry won our category! So Congratulations to CarlLewis films & everyone involved- I really enjoyed the day, despite throwing hot water over my hand in the first take of the day we got it haha!
All awesome photos below are taken from the set stills photographer- Ben Gregory-Ring who can be found here.
