#DIALW Day Seven - trinkets, traders and black art

Polly directed by Seb in a small hut at Spinney Hollow.

The last day of principal production at Spinney Hollow completed just before dark yesterday, as planned. Evil C had to deal with probably the most challenging lighting setup of the whole production as we shot from inside a small hut as a bunch of gang-raping merchants pop their heads around the door, in dusky backlight.

The somewhat plump rough edit now clocks in at around 28 minutes. Once trimmed and with a sprinkling of cross-fades I anticipate a movie around 20 - 25 minutes.

As we wind down production (very last day of shooting is a 2nd unit setup with an aquarium full of water) I'm very mindful that the journey through post-production and to market is only just beginning ...
