July 10th
Done!
Refrain is in the proverbial can.
The hard part is finally over; now for the hard part.
The final tally is roughly 28 hours of footage (I have no idea what’s average for a feature) covering about 150 scenes and somewhere in the vicinity of 700 shots all gathered over a two to three month period.
Who’s tired?
Fans of superstition, coincidence and/or Tyler trivia will love to note that we’ve wrapped production on Refrain today the 10th of July, 2008 and that exactly one year ago to the day Minsuhi premiered on the big screen at the Fantasia Film Festival. I did not plan for these milestone dates to coincide. The scheduling of our final shoot today was decided by the owner of the location at which we shot. Moreover in the movie a flyer advertising a musical performance quite significant to the plot makes an appearance. The date chosen (months ago) to appear on the flyer: July 10th, a tribute to the Minushi debut. The venue connected to the performance advertised on the flyer: The location of our final shoot, today, July the 10th completely by coincidence.
At times like these I’m glad I’m rational.
