DAY 11 VS THE MAKE-UP ARTIST



JOEL MIELLE, Producer and DOP, in action


FADE IN:

INT. WILLIAMSTOWN STUDY. DAY

On Friday the 18th of June, we planned to shoot a scene with Lucia, played by Maria Fernandez, and Lorenzo, played by Alex Kadamani, but none of the make-up artists who worked on the set were available for that day, which means we would have had to re-schedule. Maria stepped forth and said she could do Alex's make-up without a problem so we went ahead with the shoot.

The location was once at The Melbourne Actor's Lab, courtesy of Peter Kalos, and we turned a section of the lab into a kitchen that looks as if it could be the lunchroom of a corporate office. Our wonderful sound recordist Ben Bomitali made a laborious effort to block external sounds and sounds bouncing off the hard-floor.

The scene didn't take long at all to film, and we wrapped it up by lunchtime. We then proceeded to do some outdoor scenes with Maria and Lorenzo walking around like lovers who enjoyed the company of each other.

By one-thirty we were done, and at three o'clock I had a coffee in Degrave Street in the middle of Melbourne with Louise Alston, director of All My Friends Are Leaving Brisbane and the forthcoming Jucy. We discussed her trip to the Cannes Film Festival, where Jucy was screened, and she gave me some good pointers and contacts for what to do with Six Lovers once we finished the post-production.

The following day, I got a call from Producer / DOP Joel who told me that we would need to re-shoot part of the kitchen scene we has just done the previous day because the eyeline between the two characters was slightly out. He had just watch the dailies and picked it up then.



More kitchen scene to come.

Cast and Crew working hard as usual

One day rest, and then we would return to Northcote for a dinner scene that involved four of the main characters in the film.
